I think there is no stone that should be unturned. Or perhaps to say it more clearly, any and all info about 0bastard’s life is useful to investigate. One might not know under which stone some useful gold might be found.
Furthermore, a German engineering firm, tasked with creating a duplicate, submitted a design and quotation for the object in separate pieces, because they could not reproduce the original...and undertake to place it into the pyramid...
So you see, what is UNKNOWN is far more interesting than what is the ASSUMED known. Any hope of ever finding out just how that 'sarcophagus' got into the pyramid or how it was created is GONE every time someone with a microphone tells you ALL THEY KNOW.
