No. I am in down to business discuss mode. The Titanes are unleashed and my girlish observations are no match for the weapons forged by the Cyclopes and will not keep me from being imprisoned in the Pit of Tartaros.

I don't go along with the earthquake scenario. Also agree with you about pillaging. It doesn't have to be either or, there is a 3rd possibility.

But that is what I'm trying to point out. The section below the casing is in nice pretty rows, and below that is mayhem. Why the neat pretty rows ABOVE mayhem? The nice rows are missing more stones than the lower rows. I think you are saying the nice rows are intact as the builders made them, never being cased. But this does not explain why the nice rows are :
1) further recessed than the rows below them
2) not covered with debris
If the bottom rows were pillaged, then they should be further recessed than the nice rows above.

Yes! I want LLW aliens, little lavendar women. Got a problem with aliens? I don't get this taboo with aliens. Like the universe isn't old enough or big enough to have spawned other life forms. MJT goes ballistic if it's mentioned. Guess we must just be so special that no other life form could exist let alone be more evolved than us. If SETI talks about them I don't see why we shouldn't.
I didn't see any (streaks not aliens) on freeways, or ancient ruins. Went on wild goose chase and could not find the same type of streaking. I did find similar in canyons and mountains, but nothing on buildings. At this point I have to call checkmate dude, cough it up or admit the streaks are unusual.

Your details are not forgotten. You bring up the enclosure wall & Sphinx; the whole layout of Giza is mind boggling. I haven't been there, yet, so it's hard to comment when all I can see are photos taken at a distance that do not show the elevation plan.
You talk of styles amongst the pyramids. In my mind style is related to function. Different function, different style. Some aspects of 'style' would indicate same time frames, such as granite stones vs. bricks. Otherwise I have to wonder at the purpose of casing stones. If they had a practical application then their appearance on one pyramid and not another could make sense. Egyptology has brainwashed us into believing they were aesthetic.
