On the Great Pyramid's Design On the Main Doorway 'The existence of a door providing regular access to the Great Pyramid is anathema to modern Egyptologists, who find the idea totally inconsistent with their concept of a tomb
which was sealed for eternity. Instead of rethinking the paradigm, they refute Strabo and Petrie by means of the highly speculative and contrived assumption that the door was a later addition.'
(The Phoenix Solution p. 74) On the Queen's Chamber 'In 1638, the English explorer John Greaves
reported a tradition that the corbelled niche once held an 'idol'. This idea, based totally on hearsay, still dominates the thinking of modern Egyptologists, many of whom believe that the niche was designed to hold a
statue of king Khufu. Others believe that it was the site of a chest containing the king's embalmed entrails, but such suppositions are supported by no evidence whatsoever.'
(The Phoenix Solution p. 65)
On the Grand Gallery 'a totally outrageous design... The general view among Egyptologists is that the
Gallery was used for the purpose of temporarily storing the granite plugs... Lehner plumbed the depths of this woefully inadequate thinking when he recently described the Gallery as 'basically a parking space and
slipway.' If this is so, then it is no exaggeration to say that the Gallery must rank as the most extreme case of over-engineering in the history of mankind.'
(The Phoenix Solution pp. 66-67) On the Shafts 'Most Egyptologists believe that the shafts played a part in a religious ritual, perhaps allowing
the king's Ba-soul to ascend to the Sun-god or to the stars, as described in the Pyramid Texts. If this was so, why do we not find similar shafts in any
of the later pyramids, especially those of the 5th and 6th Dynasties which were actually inscribed with the Pyramid Texts? The entire concept of the king's Ba
ascending through these shafts is highly questionable, for there was a continuous belief throughout the history of ancient Egypt that the Ba
could pass through solid doors and walls. The builders need not have gone to the trouble of making the shafts if this was the objective.'
(The Phoenix Solution pp. 65-66)'Did these shafts transport the soul of
the dead king to heaven, or were they built by a pre-dynastic race for some arcane functional purpose which we cannot yet comprehend?'
(The Phoenix Solution caption to Plate 34) 'I... think that the purpose of the
Pyramid's shafts is something currently beyond our imagination...'
(The Phoenix Solution p. 415) On the Gantenbrink Door 'No matter what lies behind it, its presence is an embarrassment to those Egyptologists who hold that the Pyramid is 'a tomb and nothing but a tomb'.'
(The Phoenix Solution caption to Plate 32)'The only conceivable reason for the five-year delay by the DAI and SCA is a fear of what they might find if they succeed in probing behind the 'door' in the Great Pyramid's
shaft. If Egyptologists were confident in their paradigm, there would not be a problem. But they know that, once this 'Pandora's Box' is opened, it cannot be closed again. If something lies behind the 'door', it is more
likely than not to undermine the theory that the Pyramid is 'a tomb and nothing but a tomb', resulting in an 'open season' for the Pyramid-revisionists. The DAI and SCA understand these risks fully, and their failure to
investigate speaks volumes about their private concerns with many of the possibilities discussed in this book.'
(The Phoenix Solution p. 409) 'in the unlikely event of the tiny Gantenbrink 'door' being opened
publicly, I predict a continuation of the shaft or an empty chamber, or a 'Hall of Records', or some other anomalous feature which does not fit the 'tomb' theory.'
(The Phoenix Solution p. 412) On the Iron Plate 'the evidence is dismissed because a tomb could have no conceivable need of such a plate.'
(The Phoenix Solution p. 74) On the Coffer in the King's Chamber 'If we found this box on a
factory floor, we would assume its purpose was something other than a coffin. If we found it at the North Pole, we might assume it was the subject of some humorous prank. If we found it in a museum basement, unlabelled,
we wouldn't have a clue what it was... the assumption that the box is a coffin is entirely negated by the adoption theory.'
(The Phoenix Solution p. 72)
On the Great Pyramid generally 'the most stupendous architecture of the whole ancient world.'
(The Phoenix Solution p. 374)'totally revolutionary
when viewed in the orthodox pyramid-building chronology.'
(The Phoenix Solution p. 68) 'although the Pyramid's internal design is somewhat 'alien' to our senses, I have no doubts that its construction was an
entirely terrestrial affair, motivated by purely terrestrial concerns.'
