we will know what is above the great gallery when teams will be allowed again to do further studies in the future.
At the moment the only reasonable engineering/ technical and mostly importantlyt he architectural theories are from Jean Pierre Houdin. His anyalysis of the inner ramp/ built from inside to outside/ building steps/ explanation of current structural elements like great gallery, cavities.
No enigmas, but rather the climax of the enormous planing, engineering and coordination abilities of the EA.
only the commercial fringe keeps on mystifiying.
The results also seem to reject the theory, put forward by Houdin and Brier, that the builders of the Great Pyramid used an internal ramp to raise blocks up to the highest levels. “These data suggest that the ramp is not there,” says Brier. “I think we’ve lost.” - from here.

I just hope this investigation doesn't die the same death as Project Djedi... I followed Djedi very closely, including the TV special to drill through the first blocking stone... We are also aware that they drilled through the second blocking stone but the results of this were never pulicised, which was suspicious to say the least.. then the project just dissapeared and the team moved onto something new..

Those crudely painted khufu markings you refer to are not official inscriptions at all and the considerable body of available evidence strongly suggests that they are almost certainly 19th century fakes.
Really? Even the ones that clearly match similar markings found by remote cameras in and around air shafts that haven't seen human eyes since the thing was built? That's some pretty enthusiastic fakery.
Hi,
See The Great Pyramid Hoax (Bear & Co, 2016). pp.50-56

Doesn't really answer the question, particular with the new marks found where no person except those building the thing could get to them.

It is really weird that the one really responsible for the build did not bother to engrave his name in there somewhere which would pass the test of time just like his creation does..
...
Cartouche names of Khufu appear in the relieving chambers (as components of work crew, aperu, names, and also in the second boat pit (on the underside of the sealing stone, and elsewhere); as well as in other locations on the Giza Plateau.
There's a more detailed explanation and discussion of pyramid construction in the Old Kingdom here; and also some discussion of royal cartouche names in Appendix 1 (vol. 2) here.
I think what Zatara is referring to are official ("engraved") inscriptions within the monument, of which there are none. The contentious so-called 'workers' graffiti do not qualify in that regard so your mentioning of them in the context of Zatara's point about official markings of Khufu is odd. Those crudely painted khufu markings you refer to are not official inscriptions at all and the considerable body of available evidence strongly suggests that they are almost certainly 19th century fakes.

Bit late to the misunderstandings but...you understood me correct and explained to our fellow ATS brothers and sisters precisely what I meant.
(Zatara)
..having that cartouche somewhere writen by a worker at a place where nobody is expected to go is not good enough evidence for me.
(Zatara)
The out of proportion unrest that occured when these germans were accused of taking a sample of the material this cartouche was written with only confirms my doubts.
(Zatara)
What are you afraid of mr hawass...if you are a serious scientist with the progress of egyptology at heart you should welcome such initiatives.
(Zatara)
... But then again...somebody took a sample...why is hawass not taking a sample and proof his theory for once and for all.

Indeed, It is true that on Captain Vyse first entering the relief chambers above the kings chamber there was no mention of this Cartouche or any other markings... they were discovered the next day... Which gave Vyse and his accomplices ample time to forge them...
(PerfectAnomoly)
... And the only real evidence we have that this building was built by Khufu... (Except for one small figuirine found in the general location of the pyramid..)
(PerfectAnomoly)
There is also the fact that the kings name is spelt incorrectly and that only recenlty have we discovered our translation error, subsequent to Vyse entering the chamber...
The King's cartouche name is not spelt incorrectly.

(Hooke) The King's cartouche name is not spelt incorrectly.
(SC) It absolutely is spelt incorrectly twice in Vyse's private journal. But you know that.

Still awaiting your response (and here) as to why Vyse spelt that cartouche incorrectly twice.
(Hooke) Which has nothing to do with what I wrote in reply to PerfectAnomoly. But you know that.
PerfectAnomoly was echoing Sitchin's misspelling allegation, which I had assumed you reject. Or was I mistaken ... ?
Perhaps you could point out where in either of those old posts you talked about Vyse spelling anything. I am surprised that you reference them at all. In the first you quoted my words to this effect: "As you have declared your intent to persist in this vein, this discussion is over as far as I am concerned." Which part of this did you not understand? The tenor of your posts gave clear indications that you were not really seeking a response, so why you should still be "awaiting" one (on a point, moreover, you did not raise at the time) escapes me.
However, if you still consider the various points you did raise to be cogent and worthy of attention, then we may fairly expect to find them discussed in the appendices of "Void." Are they?

You ignore the builder's papyrus for one.
Next, you should know it would be impossible to forge the builder marks that is why Graham Hancock changed his mind after he was allowed to visit.
"Cracks in some of the joints reveal hieroglyphs set far back into the masonry. No 'forger' could possibly have reached in there after the blocks had been set in place - blocks, I should add, that weigh tens of tons each and that are immovably interlinked with one another. The only reasonable conclusion is the one which orthodox Egyptologists have already long held - namely that the hieroglyphs are genuine Old Kingdom graffiti and that they were daubed on the blocks before construction began."

I just noticed the book title. Reminds me of the Rendlesham Enigma who Osborn co-authored with Penniston and now seemingly contributed to this other Enigma book. I wonder if there will be a hint of the Penniston binary codes in this book or has Osborn completely left it out?No clue at this point. I just noticed both book titles.
