In 1837, deep within the Great Pyramid of Giza, British army officer Colonel Richard W. Howard Vyse made a claim that would help define Egyptology for the next 200 years: the “discovery” of painted hieroglyphs, including the royal cartouche of Khufu, supposedly the pyramid’s builder. Yet, when the surviving notebooks, sketches, and first-hand accounts from Vyse’s time are carefully examined, a different and deeply unsettling picture begins to emerge. These accounts reveal troubling discrepancies—erasures, manipulated dates, and contradictory statements—suggesting that the painted markings (including the famous “Khufu cartouche”) may not be ancient at all, but the product of a Victorian deception.
Author and independent researcher, Scott Creighton, conducts a forensic re-evaluation of what really happened inside those hidden chambers of the Great Pyramid in 1837.

I have commented on this before. Spectrographic analysis is used on Mars. It can be used within the Great Pyramid with minimum destruction and the results compared to samples in museums. Refusal to use 20’th or 21’st century techniques only encourages wild speculation, nonscientific conspiracy hypotheses(not theories) and suspicion in the public.
Hawaa is a liar and takes credit for others peoples findings
I believe this is only one of many untruths visited upon the public that pervades a whole host of subjects, topics and fields of endeavour.
Anyone with an ounce of perspicacity has long known the Great Pyramid is way beyond Bronze Age technology. Who on Earth constructs a megalithic edifice strong enough to withstand the impact of a 1km high mega-tsunami, and umpteen millennia of erosion, when a barrow a few metres high would be ample to bury a mere mortal pharaoh?
A technologically advanced, antediluvian civilisation, with a need to provide testimony and covenant regarding a Great Flood (12k periodicity) – that’s who.
The Porphyry Coffer in The King’s Chamber had to have floated over a 2cm high step from the antechamber – it’s the only way it could have entered. (The Floating Coffer Theory provides the full explanation)
In other words, given the Pyramid was built prior to 10000BC, the cartouches were painted very shortly after Vyse’s explosive incursion.
Scott Creighton’s only problem is determining precisely who the forger was…
I like especially the way Creighton showcases an iffy quote of an iffy translation of a book whose German original he ignores—never mind the Allgemeine Zeitung, in which the material first appeared.
Thrill to Creighton’s complete fabrication of Nell Pattengill reading out a nonexistent letter to Walter Allen. Creighton has made this up: it is not (even) what Walter said happened. Why (we may ask) in this made-up scenario does Nell not simply show Walter the letter?
