Zahi Hawass has been reappointed as Minister of Antiquities in Egypt? If so, did he pay this guy to dig this 33 foot hole so he could grab the entire thing? (Just my musing).
There is a second article which led from the first article, via a link and that article and the comments that follow are particularly interesting:

OK...In my research on Khufu I mentioned that Dr Hawass kept on moving the angle of the causeway so that it would not overlap with the location of the harbor. (As this comment box does not allow images to upload I cannot include images)
Hawass first published data on the angle of the causeway in Orientalia Monspeliensia IX, pp 245-256 where the angle drawn by the causeway was circa 42 degrees north of due east
In 2008 Hawass himself then co-published a book with Ashraf Senussi on Old Kingdom pottery but somehow the angle of the causeway was suddenly 32 degrees north of due east
Between the first paper and the second paper the angle shifted a full 10 degrees. He plotted the direction of the causeway very accurately in the earlier first paper...and gave no reason for the shift in angle in the second paper.
Even more worrying is the fact that Hawass drew the maps so they were difficult to use...and the change in angle seems at first galnce to have only been made to ensure the direction drawn by the causeways do not overlap the location of the harbor wall...this could have been used as a tool to test the age of the Pyramids...
and now an amateur discovers the causeway intact.... and Hawass the person who keeps on changing the angle of this causeway.....is in charge of studying them....
For my research I need to know the angle of these causeways.........I mentioned this in my book.
Could it be the line draws an angle at 33 degrees north of due east?
The other causeways present at Giza draw the sidereal month value and the 1 degree motion of earth around the sun....see prior work published on Saskaywaman (Ancient Origins) which shows that linear geometric patterns appear worldwide to align to astronomical values.....specifically those used to predict eclipses.
If it is found that the Pyramids also draw astronomical values as an angular array....Hawass would then have to admit the astronomical alignments drawn by the Pyramids are identical to those seen at other ancient archaeological sites....

A doctor and an author?hopefully your book is less garbled than that post.

And fools rush in
A Pedro and a John, a garbled mulatto by any other idiom, IQ missing the lowest percentile by more than a horse hair, a doos, indeed.

This was something many people were waiting for.
I hope we will get an update very soon

Hawass is a fraud. He buries the truth about the construct and details surrounding WHY the pyramids were built so Egypt can continue to exploit the “mystery” and cash in on tourist money. He knows damn well it was not a great tomb. NEVER EVER EVER...not even ONCE, was a sarcophagus EVER FOUND IN ANY PYRAMID!!!!! Such B.S....this world sucks.

Exactly, Hawass, a scummoneybag of note. And thanks Jayem for reminding those that can read but who be ignorant of this cretins “credentials”, a slimeball to the very end of the causeway.

Makes you wonder how many more unearthed tombs and passages there are to be discovered.
TOMZ WROTE ON 5 JANUARY, 2015 - 02:49 PERMALINK
Have to agree with you. No sarcophagi anywhere to be found. I’m in favor of the power plant theory. It works as well as the tomb ‘theory’. But I have little respect for Hawass. He’s been the guardian of a cash cow in terms of archaeology. The Bosnian pyramid project is more authentic research than the current Giza charade.

Makes you wonder how many tombs and passages HAVE been discovered and then hushed up be the egyptian government.

“The Ministry of Antiquities was notified of the incredibly finding . . . “
*incredible
Please proof-read your articles. You are an editor, are you not?

I am almost certain that Dr Hawass is no longer the man guarding the antquities of Eqypt. He was sacked when Hosni got taken down. Didn’t he?
DEREK CUNNINGHAM WROTE ON 5 JANUARY, 2015 - 06:20 PERMALINK
He was sacked the reappointed

if Hawass was reinstated then then the old dictator structure is back in place. We shall see Egypt politically erupt again and again until the old order is destroyed.
A question: Why is Hawass doing these seemingly underhanded things? Why the dishonesty? I have a feeling that his motives are more sinister and not just about money from tourists.
When the old order is finally ousted I think we will see another side (more open) of the Pyramid/Egypt mystery. I can’t wait for a few home truths.”
Hawass was Minister of Antiquities four ministers ago. But he’s making a killing off the History Channel. At first he seems like a favorite uncle but looking deeper you realize he’s the uncle the family doesn’t want to talk about.

The notion that “no sarcophagus were ever found in the pyramids” is a bit of a myth. They have been found in some pyramids, just not in the largest and most famous pyramids, as those pyramids were completely looted when they were opened by modern researchers.
There of course is the “granite coffer” in the pyramid of Cheops also, which would be about the right size to contain a sarcophagus, but we found it empty after the graverobbers got there first.
