The way reality works is we find evidence from literary artistic and physical physical sources to use in making our theories how things were done. Do the literary works from the time of the pyramid building indicates either ramps or geysers? No. Does the artwork from the time of the pyramid building indicate either ramps or geysers? No. Is there physical evidence from the time of the pyramid building of ramps or geysers?
Not only are all those things you simply dismiss out of hand still facts despite your
dismissal but I can add a great many more. Such as they depicted boats perched
on columns of water and said that Osiris towed the earth by means of balance. All
the facts support geysers and none support ramps. It makes people so unhappy
but there were no stone draggers anywhere. The evidence is what it is and it doesn't
support ramps any more than a five step pyramid could ever support any kind of ramp-
ing system. Does anyone really think that thje ramps just got steeper wiuth each step
until they achieved nearly 45 degrees to the top step and 90 degrees to the apex???

The only thing you have is the pyramid texts that even you indicate were written long after the pyramids were built. Do you have evidence that what is written in the PT directly related to the pyramids other than your own interpretation?
No. You are mistaken and misinterpreting something I said.
I and almost all the experts and translators of the PT are in general agreemment that
this work PREDATED the great pyramids at least in part. The PT evolved over time and
our copy is a little different than the ceremony that was used at Atum/ Khufu's ascension.
Atum became Osiris and the ceremonies changed but the rituals were little affected.
1551a. To say: This thy
cavern there is the broad-hall of Osiris N..., would have simply
read;
1551a. To say: This thy
cavern there is the broad-hall of Atum/ Khufu. in the Great Pyr-
amid building days when Khufu ascended to the iskn.

Since the Great Pyramid has a hill inside, how do you have a water collection device underneath the pyramid?
It's there. It's under the pyramid and had to have been made first. Not even a mountain
would interfere with it and it's just a little 22' high hill so far as we know.

Geysers lift straight up, yet as construction continues, taking into account the angle of a pyramid side, and that the taller the geyser is spouting, the shorter the time it lasts, how do they move an 18 ton load of stone from the geyser to the current level of the pyramid that is say 50 feet from the geyser?
Mebbe I really do need those drawings.
Geysers lift water straight up. The water flowed at 81' 3" to the "queens chamber" from
whence it was channeled to counterweights hanging over the edge. The counterweights
were attached to a load of stone on the opposite side of the pyramid. As the counterweight
was filled with water it became heavier than the stones and fell lifting the stones on the other
side.
This is all in evidence and it all appears in the PT. It's true that the evidence isn't extremely
strong but the fact is ALL the evidence agrees with this. It's also true that no one else "inter-
prets" (understands) the PT as I do but it's still true that with this "interpretation" it is internally
consistent and it is consistent with all the evidence. It explains why there are caves here and
it shows why there would be a ben ben growing in the valley temple even today.
Men fear the pyramid, time fears man.
