Exactly. It's easier to believe this was a desert oasis and the site of the primeval mound where ofttimes even the graves of the ancients were inundated by the "flood that tossed in the uplands". It's easier to believe what they said than that 6 1/2 million tons of stones were dragged up mile long ramps by superstitious people who succeeded because they "pulled together in beliefs".

Summertimes temperatures can be astounding day after day after day. It is not a place to be doing heavy work ion the baking sun.
I keep asking but why does Egyptology still insist they could ONLY have used ramps despite the fact that ramps are debunked and it has already been shown stones were dragged straight up the sides of five step pyramids one step at a time? What are they afraid of? Are they afraid if they take the first step toward accepting the obvious fact there were never any ramps ios tantamount to finding that the thermal anomaly will prove we are stinky footed bumpkins? Do they fear the alts are right and they have it all wrong? Every alt might have a piece of the puzzle and Egyptology has nothing but a bag that's far too small for the pieces?
The only thing more inhospitable than the Giza Plateau is a convention of Egyptologists.

Man fears the pyramid, time fears man.
