hmmm...what then of the casing stones at the foot of the great pyramid
and petrie's estimate of an average 1/50 of an inch film of
mortar??...was he mistaken??...

if in fact, the results mentioned in previous posts do concern the
second rather than the great pyramid, i certainly missed mention of
that in any of those posts...doug bailey specifically states that the
tests were of mortar from the great pyramid...have you (or you, doug)
a direct cite from the write up on the tests??...

word on the streets is that khufu ran out of money and was unable to
pay the casing stone contractor, who promptly sued...after the normal
and reasonable delays intendant upon such lawyerly proceedings, the
stones were repossessed...
