How likely is it (do you think) that the story which Sitchin and Creighton would have us believe would not have been the unofficial talk of such a meeting and an absolute scandal?

While he’s at it (what a busy boy he’s going to be), Creighton might like to explain why Bunsen, a great pal of Lepsius, gave Vyse an entirely positive write-up in his magnum opus:

Can you elaborate on who "they" are? The most damage to the pyramids occurred in ancient times, as far as breaking into them and carting off whatever secrets they held. The Al-Mamoon tunnel is thought to have widened a tunnel made by much earlier tomb-robbers, who knew precisely where to tunnel to avoid the granite plugs in the ascending passage.
Even into the 19th C., the time of Howard-Vyse, Lepsius, et. al., the collapsed remains of the casing stones were still in evidence around the base of the Great Pyramid, which Vyse noted was being carted away by locals for building materials.

Well given that if you go against the official story of the pyramids and Egyptian schollars just as scientsts go against the Big Bang theory get chucked out of academia (Halton Arp et al.).
The greatest knowledge damage (knowledge vandilism) has been done by Egyptian academics themselves.

Arp was born on March 21, 1927, in New York City. He was married three times, has four daughters and five grandchildren.[1][2] His bachelor's degree was awarded by Harvard (1949), and his PhD by Caltech (1953). Afterward he became a Fellow of the Carnegie Institution of Washington in 1953, performing research at the Mount Wilson Observatory and Palomar Observatory. Arp became a Research Assistant at Indiana University in 1955, and then in 1957 became a staff member at Palomar Observatory, where he worked for 29 years. In 1983 he joined the staff of the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Germany. He died in Munich, Germany on December 28, 2013.[3][2]

Thats conspiracy myths if you can prove your point to any academics they will take you seriously doesnt matter if its science archaeology or oceanography. In case you hadnt notice the big bang has changed as we learned more for example the whole singularity thing is on the way out and its seen as more of a rapid expansion of space from a bubble created.So anyone that can prove there hypothesis or at the very least have some valid points is taken very seriously.But if you come to the table saying aliens built the pyramids with all the evidence to the contrary why should anyone take you seriously. Might as well say Santa Clause built the pyramids if you expect academia to prove you wrong thats not how it works.

Halton Arp wrote papers, he also created the Arp catalogue of peculuar galaxies that go against the Big bang theory.
kathat
Yet, he was chucked out of academia, kinda like ancient astronomers were chastised for stating the earth revolves around the sun.

We may now consider a couple of letters from James William Wild, published in The Athenaeum in 1843 and 1844:
books.google.co.uk...
books.google.co.uk...
Why does this matter? Because Wild was the Englishman who more or less invited himself to join Lepsius.
You will see that the standoff between Vyse on the one hand and the entire Lepsius group on the other somehow escaped his attention—and he ended up with no worse an opinion of Vyse than that he was “munificent”.

Hi Scott,
What a shame you're too busy to take part in this thread any more! I've really been enjoying it, and I'm sure a lot of other people have too.
Before you leave, though, could you tell us what you managed to find about Howard Vyse's travels in Egypt and Syria in 1842?
Thanks and regards,
Hooke
Hi Hooke,
As I have said elsewhere in the thread, I shall come back to this in due course once I have completed my own research into this. To properly research this will probably take me around a month or so. I will make known the outcome of this research on my ATS Forum as soon as it is completed.
Regards,
SC
Hi Scott,
Well, it's been several weeks now. Did you ever manage to find out anything further about Howard Vyse's travels in Egypt and Syria in 1842?
Best,
Hooke

Hello Hooke,
As a matter of fact I did. Alas, however, I am not presently able to detail the outcome of my research at the moment. It is still ongoing. I can tell you though, that all will be revealed fairly soon.
And I can tell you also--mainstream Egyptology (and its apologists) will be spitting feathers at what I will be presenting. Watch this space.
Best,
Scott Creighton

Hello mstower,
Patience. All will be explained soon enough.

We’ve already exercised patience, Creighton. More than a month’s worth.
Here you are making promises. You made promises a month ago. Still nothing showing.
