For serious discussion of the controversies, approaches and enigmas surrounding the origins and development of the human species and of human civilization. (NB: for more ‘out there’ posts we point you in the direction of the ‘Paranormal & Supernatural’ Message Board).
It's really not a matter of a hidden cartouche.
The fact is that the "quarry marks" found in the relieving chambers, including those that can be glimpsed in cracks between the blocks, are quite typical of the Old Kingdom, and are sufficient in themselves to confirm that Old Kingdom stonemasons were at work here. When all the other marks are genuine and typical of the Old Kingdom, it seems unnecessary to conclude (as I once wrongly did) that the Khufu cartouche must be a forgery.
