1. I know exactly what a time study is. what I offered was a brief extempore demonstration of my familiarity with all the challenges of the project

2.instead of thinking RAMP, think ramping. One ramp to do the whole thing is the most ridiculous of the ramp suggestions whereas Houdins is the most unnecessarily complicated.

3. The major ramp was, to my thinking that line/angle/striking that is the base of the Grand gallery. from there internal inclines ( marl filled steps).

4. while I have years of study research and filers papers articles on the Pyramid age it has never been my intent to be he who solves the problem to everyone's satisfaction.

5.My intent is to attempt to isolate and understand the motivation behind building it and inspiring the work force

food for thought:

a. the supplicants go to Lourdes the climb the
steps on their knees, or crawl.

b. every now and then thru time groups of humanity manage to be greater than the sum of their parts
