@Piney   Well Egypt famously had its Sycamores, but they were Ficus sycamorus (fig sycamore) unlike, say, the N. American Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis).

 

I know. The North American Plane Tree is a completely different animal. I was talking about Ficus.

Stonemason's rule, eh?  So there may be markings or hieroglyphs on it?  Wish there was a photo.

The objects were drawn and described at the time:

You can play a lot of fetch if you throw that ball for the humans.

And the humans can't chew it up.

No, no its the remains of a sophisticated crocodile hunting kit.

The short stick was used in the manner shown in the image below. Nubian slaves were often used to do this first bit as it was a tad hazardous. The most famous crocodile catchers were Ptuh 'lefty' Tsiskhai, Ahti 'stumps' Thoth and Hotep 'No fingers' Rabiah.

The hooks are for pinning back the crocodile's ear's (yes they have them but they are under the belly).

The stone ball you keep to drop on your left foot if you decide to try this. This is a reminded to NOT do this. However, the AE were smart folks and they used this method for many centuries and viola for the last 4,600 years not a single crocodile has been seen within the pyramid. A clear indication of this methodology success in riding tombs of pesky crocodiles.

Another milestone for AE science.

Ah: I see two sets of ceremonial ear-lengtheners!

Just one. It is the same object drawn from different angles.

The QC shafts, where the grapnel hook was found, have doors. On these doors are metal rings:

In the shaft we find a hook meant to be attached to a rod. "Ceremonial ear-lenghteners" or perhaps these two are related?

I gotta say that it's no surprise to me that there's no dating, what with the "wood" missing.

Hi Riaan,

Some interesting sundry information is given here by Bauval regarding this artefact - in case it's of interest to you.

I should add that the artefact is presently catalogued here at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland.

Thanks Scott, very interesting information!
