Sobekhotep? He was an okay Pharoah. We had many a talk back in the days of his reign. He always kept wanting to build me a monument. I told him I didn’t need one but would play a song for him every now and then called “walk like an Egyptian”.

Those ancient Egyptians were wise to set such short term limits for their rulers.

This stuff always drives me crazy.

Look at how straight the inside walls are of this sarcophagus, and the sharp right angle cuts of the interior.

This is quartzite and was made using crude had tools nearly 4000 years ago? It’s like the pyramids at Giza.

Giza pyramids are so far superior to all other Egyptian pyramids - it is obvious that what we’re seeing was made with technology beyond what the ancient Egyptians of circa 4000 years ago possessed.

Its identity was established after the team found fragments of a slab inscribed with the pharaoh's name and showed him sitting on a throne

That's the same way they found Elvis.
