SC: Provide me with categorical, unequivocal, empirical evidence that proves - beyond doubt - that the AEs designed the groundplan at Giza? Furthermore - do you purport to have found proof that the AEs actually designed the pyramids themselves? References please.SC
you really know nothing about this subject don't you
thats why everyone that does so far has laughed at your silly claims
here
Egyptology 101
Pharoah Djoser ruled 2630-2613 built a step pyramid at saqquara

Pharaoh Sneferu ruled 2613-2589 BCE built the maidum pyramid which collapsed halfway through construction

because of this the other pyramid he was working on had to have its design changed and so it is know known as the bent pyramid

then having learned from these mistakes he built the first true pyramid known as the red pyramid

in all Sneferu utilised more limestone than any other pharoah in his buiding program. he was succeeded by his son Khufu
Pharooh Khufu ruled 2589-2566 BCE built the great pyramid at Giza

after he died his brother Djedefre came to power he built the pyramid of Djedefre (2528 -- 2520 BCE) which because it was far away from Giza was not maintained properly so its all but ruins today

then the pyramid of Khafre, djedefres brother (2520 - 2494 BCE)

then the pyramid of menkaure Khafres son(2490 – 2472 BCE).

then came Shepseskaf (2472-2467 BCE)
now he because he was the last king of the fourth dynasty which had bankrupted itself building bigger and bigger monuments changed his mind about having a pyramid and had a mastaba (manufactured tomb) instead.

it seems that he realised that having a burial place that was so obvious was like clanging the dinner bell for tomb robbers
the next dynasty (family) of pharoahs did in some cases build more pyramids but they were never to the same scale as what had gone previously because they had learned from the mistakes of the previous dynasty
the whole point of having a pyramid as a tomb was that your body could lie undisturbed so that the spirit (Ka) could live on in heaven.
so after this point it was quite common for pharoahs to build a small pyramid and then have themsleves buried somewhere else hidden in a rock cut tomb
now there were earlier pyramids than those of the fourth dynasty but none of them survive to this day
you can read about them here
http://www.narmer.pl/pir/pir1_en.htmso for you to say that the Egyptians didn't do it is to ignore all the evidence
its nonsense really and I hope you can see that now
its also quite clear that your theory doesnt account for Djedefre building his pyramid at Abu Rawash which ihe was hardly likely to do if as you say they were all building to some plan from a lost race
of course I realise that this is probably the first time you even heard the name Djedefre so i'll give you a few days to come up with something to cover that error (btw its been ten years and Bauval is still stuck on that one)

now do you accept that Egyptians designed the pyramids
as for them designing the ground plan at Giza
the onus is on you to prove if they didn't do it who did
clearly the pyramids were an original design by the egyptians because we can see the trial and error from the earliest step pyramids to the true pyramids that came hundreds of years later
and so far
youre not even close
you haven't told everyone here yet who you think designed and built the pyramids
so come on out with it
which alien race was it ?

so much bluster
I have forgotten more about this subject than you have ever known
and from the way you do research more than you are ever likely to know as well
Pete Vanderswet says hi by the way
we're all still waiting for you to counter his evidence
been about three months so far that you have completely ignored the facts that totally destroyed your theory when you first posted it
and while we're on the subject has Bauval gone anyway closer to agreeing with you yet (I noticed you slagged him off in your previous thread at this forum so I guess not)
as for your sudden claim that Mintaka does not have a circular course, you have several times stated that the Menkaure queens pyramids represnt Mintaka and the position of them moving through a circle to their position as the queens pyramids of Khafre is what shows that Giza is a warning calender
here are your words from another forum

With the GOCT all I am doing is showing - in animation format - how the 2 sets of Queens mark the start and end points of the Orion stars between 10,948 and 2.012AD. The ancients only needed to show us the start and end points for us to make the connection. They did not need to give us blow by blow x,y co-ordinates.
so you clearly are claiming that the stars of Orion move in a circular orbit around the earth no matter how many times you claim you arent saying that when you get called on it
here is the same evidence that you were presented with previously

which clearly shows that Mintaka does not move in a circular manner
so there goes your theory doesnt it
now I quite expect that like the last time you were shown this you will say something like

That has been your pat responce here and elsewhere to anyone who does not accept the proof of your theory."
SC: The "unknown source" you cite, as I have tried to explain (to little avail) has misunderstood and misrepresented my work. I have explained HOW they have done this - but you simply ignore this (as you do with pretty much everything I present that you cannot assimilate into your dated model of the ancients).
Let the organ grinder speak for themself - I am all for debate and discussion but I certainly have no intention of conducting such through his monkey.
which in other words mean youve been busted by someone who does know what theyre talking about and you no longer wish to discuss it
Scott you don't even believe that Pyramids were built by egyptians yet you think you can come up with evidence completely from your own imagination that explains one of the biggest mysteries of the ancient world.
thing is. theres no mystery at all to be solved by your intellect, because the Pyramids at Giza were built in sequence by the Kings of the fourth dynasty taking advantage of the topography of the plateau itself
its also quite obvious that you are performing here the same as you have at every other forum
when one thread dies you post another
then when that dies you post another
etc etc
now I can appreciate that you have a book out and are trying to carve yourself a career as a pseudohistorian Scott I really can
but save it for the people dumb enough to believe it eh
