1) There are hundreds of Pyramids in that area. To my understanding no bodies were found in any of them. 2) Gold and copper are the metals available during Khufu's reign. Is it reasonable to you that copper (or even Iron) was used to cut granite? 3) 2.5 Million blocks were used in the construction of the Great Pyramid. Weight of blocks range from 1-10 tons each. 4) The granite for the "King's Chamber" was brought 934km to Giza from Aswan 5) A 20 year construction timeline as claimed would mean a block would have to be cut from the quarry, moved to location, and placed in the correct spot every 4 minutes with construction running 24 hours a day 7 days a week without stopping. Is it not more reasonable to conclude Khufu simply performed maintenance on the outer casings? A 20 year project with a 200 men crew to polish outer casings seems about right to me.

I'm beginning to get serious crackpot vibes from your comments. Why is it surprising that looted tombs after thousands of years don't contain bodies? (Even though for example the presumed mummy of Djedkare Isesi was found in his pyramid, so "no bodies were found in any of them" is simply a lie.) What has gold and copper have to do with working hard stones? What is it with the Great Pyramid blocks? They are far from the largest blocks manipulated in prehistory. > Is it not more reasonable to conclude Khufu simply performed maintenance on the outer casings? No, it's not. > A 20 year project with a 200 men crew to polish outer casings seems about right to me. Nobody claims the pyramids were built by 200 people. Egypt had a population of over a million at the time, with a few hundred thousand of that population being seasonally bored farmers available for construction projects.

  1) Looters don't reseal pyramids. 2) Archeologists who unseal pyramids don't steal bodies and then simultaneously claim there were bodies in there. That would be self incriminating. 3) If pyramids were looted and found unsealed then the tomb theory is unsubstantiated. 4) Countless civilizations have done construction on the pyramids (including our own). Evidence of construction is not evidence of creation. 5) Copper & Brass can not reasonably be used to cut Granite. The Great Pyramid had impeccable precision. It is BY FAR the most precise Pyramid ever discovered. 6) The link you provided me is where the 200 men figure comes from. You clearly have an interest in this topic. I suggest you do more research or if I'm wrong about something, be so kind as to provide supporting evidence with your claims.

There is a fair bit of graffiti on the blocks themselves suggesting it was done on behalf of Khufu. (It would not be surprising if the King's Chamber and everything on top were Khufu's project, build over top of an older pyramid the way Mayans did.) But the cases of the Sphinx and the Valley Temple are less persuasive. The deep tunnels, moreso.

  There does seem to be some evidence the Great Pyramid is be built on top of an older structure. However the bottom several layers are cut directly out of the bedrock which makes me hesitant on that theory since it fits so perfectly with the layers above.
