Hancock asks point-blank: “Was Vyse a forger?”

And Hancock offers evidence in support of that accusation—the Inventory Stela, discovered by Auguste Mariette, a French archaeologist of the 19th century. That limestone record clearly indicated that the Great Sphinx and Great Pyramid “were already in existence long before Khufu came to the throne.” The so-called experts chose to ignore the Inventory Stela because it was inscribed at a far later date. They considered it a fiction, but Vyse’s “quarry marks” with their questionable hieroglyphics remained sacred.

It is quite possible that Vyse made righteous discoveries of mangled hieroglyphic “quarry marks.” It’s also possible that the Inventory Stela was a fiction with reference to the Great Sphinx and Great Pyramid. But it’s also possible that the experts are entirely wrong on these two points.

If the three main pyramids were not originally built as burial chambers, then what were they?

In AD 1303, a great earthquake shattered the facing, or casing stones of the Great Pyramid. Today, none of the three main pyramids have their original casing stone, except at the base where they had been covered by the sands. When first built, the surfaces of each of the three pyramids would have appeared smooth with no simple way to climb the outer surface. Did they have a purpose that remains unknown to us? Certainly, that is quite possible.

As researcher Rod Martin, Jr. points out, the word pyramid, itself, is of unknown origin (Latin pyramis, Greek puramis, but with no earlier etymology). It’s interesting to note that the prefix pyro- comes from the Greek root pur, meaning fire. The word “middle” comes from an Indo-European root, nominally medhyo, from which we get the Greek “mesos.” Could Greek puramis have been an alternate form of purmesos? Could “pyramid” have originally meant “fire in the middle?”

When the facing stones were still on at least one of the main Giza pyramids, could a Greek traveler have witnessed this effect and used the descriptive word for the shape? Admittedly, this is speculation on top of a speculation. But we should remain open to this possibility, in case other clues come our way that connect with this radical idea.

In the meantime, such speculation will remain only that. And if we keep such speculation in mind, we might make discoveries the so-called experts will never even consider.
