Thanks PapaBear3625. Odd how the mystery continues no matter how many times it gets solved, eh? Geopolymerization / Jean-Pierre Houdin ping.

Or the giant statues that had to be cut into chunks to be moved when the Aswan dam was built. Apparently Egyptians without modern tech could make those statues and move them many miles somehow. And how the faces are symmetrical to within a mm using hand tools is also a mystery. Not to mention the very apparent rotary tool marks. Pretty clever use of bronze tools, eh?

I was going to bring some of that stuff up that we have been unable to reproduce or even figure out how they did it, but it wasn’t worth it. He can believe in fairy dust all he wants.

All kinds of theories for how the Great Pyramid in particular was built, and then all the theories for what its purpose was. *Was*. There's the problem right there.

That's because the Great Pyramid of "Kufu" is an ingenuity generator to the present day, the ancient device that keeps on keeping on. Can't miss it.

From the linked text at the beginning of the thread's source article, the "ancient branch of the Nile" had been dubbed the Khufu branch in the info that was being published in September of last year.

So many ideas, generated to this very day.

Ancient On (as opposed to Off) was known as Heliopolis, "Sun City".

A/the chief deity of Egypt was Ra, the Sun god.

And in the language of the place named for being the origin of the Sun (the Sun that looks like Mars 🔴, for some odd reason),

"kufu" is Ingenuity:

工夫

Kufū - ingenuity, device, worker

(cf. "Kung-fu")

クフ

Kufu - Khufu

"Take a picture. It'll last longer."

>>>Over 4,000 years ago, however, a now-defunct arm of the Nile known as the Khufu branch could be found carving just past the site of the Giza pyramid complex. It’s long been suspected that the Khufu branch was a vital vein of ancient Egpyt (sic), aiding its workers to transport materials to the pyramids from elsewhere. However, its history has remained little understood. <<<
