Hello,

Thank you folks very much for the answers.

Okay, the problem is as I thought, and these are the explanations. I quote Willie and EOH.
below my writing.

I ask this:

Is what you folks write just "known" as "common knowledge" as in,
"This explains why the Cartouche is not positioned properly and other glyphs.", because it is easy to just day "Well, this must have happened (speculation) this way to explain away the problem."

OR:

Is there any evidence what so ever, that is documented in any form, by the Khufu Pyramid Builders them selves, or stone masons, contractors, laborers, Scribes of the time, in other words, any entity that defined the actual building of the Pyramid or Relieving Chambers, how they marked those specific stones, how they hauled them up, cut and dressed them on site (up above all other existing stones and construction at the time) fitted them, made decisions to alter which stone went where, and so forth.......

Not documentation after the fact, as in, later on stories were passed down on how the stones for the RC were marked and laid (no second hand information)...I am asking for documentation of any form, journaling the building of Khufu, and most specifically, the Relieving Chambers.

I ask this, because some of the explanations I have read ( through out my years of searching) do not seem logical as a builder dealing with the issue of having to maneuver such large stones. Also, from what I see in my photographs, some of the various statements/theories I have read on the painting of the Cartouche and the positioning of the stones, et. al. ---and bla bla bla.....do not "seem" (no hard statements) to have any standing/merit; the explanation does not match the reality the camera captured of the modern visual data.

So I ask if these statements are just 'common speculation' to explain away the "Ooops, things aren't quite right here with the stones and markings."

Is there any evidence that may be cited to confirm these explanations?

I also do understand there may even be markings on the backside of the stones that are not in view or easily accessible.

"Hi Colette, you said, "If the Cartouche in Campbell's was painted before it was placed in the chamber, and it was painted to be horizontal, then the stone would not have been cut properly to fit in that particular location. The stone itself would have been fashioned as a more vertical stone, not a horizontal cut????"

IMO, The builders communicated w/ the quarrymen ahead of time and 'put their order in' for stone blocks they required of certain types, and sizes to be cut and delivered to the Construction Project.

The Quarrymen didn't (need to) know the final placement of any of the blocks, they simply cut it to a close approx. size and rough-dressed it for eventual delivery, etc. and they painted the quarry marks on the most convenient location available.


THE Cartouche was once orientated horizontally, (in the Quarry) and was turned, etc. in the construction process into the position we now see. Most likely, the lower end of this block was cut on the job to fit, and this would explain why THE Cartouche is so close to the edge of this particular block.

It's possible that there ARE more quarry marks on the top faces of the Tura limestone roof blocks in C's Chamber that we cannot see."

"Hello Colette

If the stone was placed flat on the ground, the inscription would be horizontal and therefore would appear perfectly normal.

I think that the stone was quarried and then, in its horizontal position at the quarry, the glyphs were inscribed on it.

Once the stone arrive at the pyramid, it was then placed in a different position.

It is reasonable to assume that the men at the quarry knew what size of blocks were required to be cut, but they had no idea how those blocks would be oriented within the structure of the pyramid. That was not their job.

However, when the stone was being placed in the pyramid, it was rotated 90* clockwise.

When hieroglyphs were written vertically, they NEVER read from bottom to top as they do in Campbell's chamber now that the block is in situ.

The majority of other glyphs in the relieving chambers are upside down.

This suggests that the blocks were simply turned upside down once they were placed in the chambers.

Either that, or we have to consider the idea that they decided to write upside down."


And here is my post discussing the possibilities of the positioning of the stone and Cartouche.

Okay---thank you,
