Exposing Orthodox BS about the Giza Plateau

Today I felt inspired to do something that I’ve never done before in regard to the pyramids of Giza. I decided to erase them, or at least all but one of them. Why do that? Because I have a strong suspicion that the center pyramid was the first one ever built, built at the end of the gigantic causeway in the center of the plateau, standing alone as the center of all attention.

That possibility requires that several orthodox assumptions be thrown out, the first of which is that the Great Pyramid was built first and the center one second. From an architectural engineering viewpoint, that would be backwards. The Great Pyramid is way off to the side, right at the edge of the plateau when if it was to have been built first then it should have been built in the center, -at the end of the very long causeway.

So with that being a logical conclusion and nothing able to explain it away, I wanted to see what it would look like if I erased the center pyramid to leave just the Great Pyramid standing alone near the edge of the plateau. I also choose to erase the Great Pyramid and the small pyramid and show what the plateau would have looked like with just the center pyramid standing tall and alone. The contrast between them says everything that I therefore do not need to point out.

The great age of the Sphinx, older that the pyramids and evidently so because of the erosion of its surface even in ancient times prompted it restoration with stone blocks, would seem like the natural center of the edge of the plateau, and the placement of the first pyramid would naturally be situated some distance behind it since that would be the center of the plateau (at least as viewed from the town or city growing up in front of it). So here’s a few shots of the view from in front of the Sphinx:

Now, with that as the background theory, I then wanted to know how Khafre was associated with the pyramid named after him as well as with the king presumed to be his father, (Khufu, -the builder of the Great Pyramid). That information would be important in overturning the applecart of orthodoxy which claims that the greatest pyramid was built before the center pyramid albeit in a most unlikely place off by the plateau edge.

If I claim that Khafre built his pyramid first, and Khufu was his father, who would therefore have built his pyramid second, then I’ve woven a web of illogical craziness. So it would be necessary to show that the center pyramid was NOT built by Khafre or that if it was (with no evidence) that he was not the son of Khufu. I tried to find some real facts but found that there are none although the establishment strongly asserts and pretends that there is enough related info to draw that conclusion…which they then present as fact to the public. So now, with what I’ve uncovered, you can intelligently draw your own conclusions about whether or not what they’re peddling is gaslighting BS.

What I uncovered came from the A.I. CoPilot of the “Edge” Bing browser along with the links that it included in its answers. What you will read is a great example of the huge pool of propaganda that we must wade through to get to some simple facts. Here we go…into a journey steeped in sophism.

You claimed: “Despite the absence of Khafre’s remains, Belzoni’s discovery [of a stone sarcophagus] confirmed that the pyramid [of ‘Khafre’] was indeed associated with Pharaoh Khafre.”
Me (Adrien Nash) : Explain the source of the confirmation. Was it real or merely assumed? How did the discovery of the tomb have any connection to Khafre?

Bing Copilot:
Let me clarify the evidence related to the association between the Pyramid of Khafre and Pharaoh Khafre:

Historical Attribution:
Egyptology, the study of ancient Egyptian history, has consistently associated the Pyramid of Khafre with Pharaoh Khafre. [that is NOT evidence!]
While no direct inscriptions within the pyramid explicitly name Khafre, the historical context and architectural features support this attribution. [How? How???]

Contextual Evidence:
The Pyramid of Khafre is part of the Giza pyramid complex [what facts prove it is Khafre’s pyramid?], which includes the Great Pyramid (built by Khafre’s father, Pharaoh Khufu) and the Pyramid of Menkaure.
The proximity of these pyramids and their alignment suggests a dynastic connection. [-that’s an awfully weak suggestion and certainly unproven.]

Valley Temple and Sphinx:
Khafre’s valley temple, [so-called!] located near the pyramid, features a magnificent life-size statue of Khafre [Khafre Enthroned]. [make that past tense, and it was found buried in the floor along with shattered fragments of other statues with their heads knocked off, so we can’t tell who they were or when they were placed inside the so-called temple.]
The Great Sphinx, adjacent to the causeway leading from the valley temple, was carved for Khafre. [Really?? Says who???!]
These structures reinforce the association with the pharaoh. [They reinforce nothing other than the impression of this AI being brain-dead.]

Architectural Similarities:
The Pyramid of Khafre shares architectural elements with the Great Pyramid, such as the rock outcropping used in its core.
The northwest corner of Khafre’s pyramid was cut into the bedrock, demonstrating deliberate construction. [Neither factoid connects Khafre to the center pyramid.]

Explorations and Discoveries:
Giovanni Belzoni explored the pyramid in 1818 and discovered the original entrance.
Although the burial chamber was empty, the overall context confirmed the pyramid’s connection to Khafre. [“the overall context” confirmed nothing!]

In summary, while no direct evidence of Khafre’s remains or inscriptions were found, the cumulative weight of historical context, architectural features, and explorations supports the association between the Pyramid of Khafre and Pharaoh Khafre[3][4].

What is the evidence that Khufu was the father of Khafre?

Copilot:
Khufu, also known as Cheops, was the second king of the 4th dynasty of Egypt. He is renowned as the builder of the Great Pyramid at Giza, which was the largest single building of its time. Khufu’s reign and that of his son Khafre were depicted by the Greek historian Herodotus as a period of 106 years of oppression and misery. However, this portrayal contrasts with Khufu’s posthumous reputation in Egypt as a wise ruler1.

Here’s the evidence supporting Khufu’s relationship with Khafre:

Genealogy: Khufu was the son and successor of King Snefru and his queen Hetepheres. Khufu’s lineage [ancestral no doubt] is well-documented, and he was 'probably' married four times:
Merityetes: She was buried in one of the three small pyramids beside Khufu’s own.
Henutsen: Her small pyramid is the third of the group.
Nefert-kau: She was the eldest daughter of Snefru.

Succession: Two of Khufu’s sons, Redjedef and Khafre, succeeded him in turn. Khafre, in particular, is famous for building the second pyramid complex at Giza, which includes the Great Sphinx and his own pyramid. 

Archaeological Finds: Although few written sources remain, an ivory statuette discovered in Abydos depicts Khufu [it was missing its head when found and is only about 3 inches tall with head attached]. Additionally, nine statues of Khafre were found during excavation works near Khafre’s Valley Temple.
In summary, the historical context, genealogical records, and archaeological discoveries all support the assertion that Khufu was indeed the father of Khafre.

Me:  What specific historical record states that Khafre was the son of Khufu.  What is the record's name or description?

Copilot:
The specific historical record that establishes Khafre as the son of Khufu is not singular but rather a combination of various factors.  These factors include:

Archaeological Evidence: The Great Sphinx and the second pyramid complex at Giza, attributed to Khafre, provide strong evidence of his lineage. [They provide ZERO evidence!]  The proximity of Khafre’s pyramid to Khufu’s Great Pyramid suggests a familial connection.  [In fact, it suggests nothing!]

Historical Accounts: No specific document explicitly states Khafre’s parentage.  In summary, it is the collective 'weight' of archaeological findings [there are none], genealogical records [which do not exist], and historical narratives [2,000 years later!] that supports the assertion that Khafre was indeed the son of Khufu.  [Baseless presumptions of those in positions of power over history and its telling.]

It’s commonly held [translation: it's suspected...] that Khafre’s reign over Egypt spanned from around 2554 BC to 2530 BC. The 'generally accepted' view [consensus is not science nor fact!] in the archeological community is that Khafre succeeded his half-brother Djedefre.

Like his early life, not much is known about the reign of Khafre other than the fact that he built the second largest pyramid on the Giza plateau. [HOW IS THAT KNOWN???]

The Turin King List fails to provide the duration of Khafre’s reign; however, Manetho states that Khafre reigned for about 66 years. This was undoubtedly an exaggeration as many in the archeological community today believe that Khafre reigned for about two and the half decades. [Manetho: an Egyptian priest lived during the Hellenistic period in the early third century BC. He is renowned for authoring the Aegyptiaca (History of Egypt) in Greek, which serves as a significant chronological source for the reigns of ancient Egyptian kings.]
[note that he lived over 2,500 years after the 4th Dynasty so he would know little more that is known today, or perhaps less. So much for “historical records” when ‘concensus opinion’ discards his statement.]

Ancient Greek philosophers and historians Diodorus and Herodotus ‘opined’ that Khafre succeeded his father Khufu (Greek: Kheops or Cheops) and then ruled Egypt for 56 years.

Khafre’s numerous statues
In 1858, archeologist Auguste Mariette discovered nine buried statues of Khafre during excavation works in a pit in vicinity of Khafre’s Valley Temple. The diorite statue of Khafre Enthroned* was also part of Mariette’s spectacular discoveries.

Among all the Old Kingdom monarchs, Khafre is said to have the most number of statues. It’s been estimated that he placed several hundred statues of himself in his pyramid complex at Giza. [all destroyed or pillaged but a few]

*Khafre Enthroned – a funeral statue of Khafre – which was found buried in his valley temple). Having been ravaged by years of tomb bandits [not “bandits”, vandals], many of the statues of Khafre that were discovered in the Valley Temple were headless.

[this is 100 % pure imagination] Out of reverence to his father Khufu, Khafre did not want his pyramid to be as tall as his father’s tomb (i.e. the Great Pyramid of Khufu).
It is also likely that Khafre purposely built his pyramid on a slightly higher ground in order to make his pyramid look taller than his father’s.
[They can’t get their story straight! He built is pyramid on higher ground because he “did not want his pyramid to be as tall as his father’s tomb.” ???? It’s one or it’s the other, it can’t be both. Idiots!

Khafre’s mortuary temple, built close to his pyramid, is similar to the Valley Temple. Connecting the Valley Temple to the Mortuary Temple is a 540-yard (494 meters) causeway. [of humongous size and hollow as a huge pipe]
Like Khafre’s Valley Temple, the mortuary temple is largely in ruins. It was in the mortuary temple that many life-size statues of Khafre were found. Unbeknownst to many people, some of the blocks used in the mortuary temple weigh more than 400 tons. [!!!] [ I take that as evidence of extraterrestrial transportation technology.]
How about this possibility: The pyramid was already there, and he built a temple in front of it, but truth be told, there is no record of who built it, or when, or how, but since it does contain a sarcophagus partially embedded into the floor, it was probably built as a final resting place… but no scanning via cosmic particles has been done to determine whether or not it is hiding unknown mystery chambers and corridors.] So… more questions than answers… as usual. 😉
