Great pyramid at Giza vandalized to 'prove' conspiracy theory

[rdunk]

It seems that there is always something going on with someone with the Pyramids of Giza. I have seen a story about some of this earlier, but this is new today, so I am posting for the significant continued Pyramid interest that has been shown here previously.

Two German men who visited the Egyptian pyramids in April 2013 now face criminal charges for their attempt to prove their "alternative history" conspiracy theories through vandalism. The men, Dominique Goerlitz and Stefan Erdmann, were joined by a third German, a filmmaker who accompanied them to document their "discoveries."

Goerlitz and Erdmann acknowledged their acts, and even went so far as to post photographs and videos of themselves vandalizing the archaeological sites. However, they claimed their goal was a noble one: to prove their "alternative history" conspiracy theory that the pyramids were not built by ancient Egyptians.

The men are apparently convinced the cartouche identifying Khufu as the creator of the Great Pyramid at Giza is a fake, and they hoped to do an analysis on the pigments to prove they were not as old as the pyramids themselves. In essence, they claimed, pharaoh Khufu simply put his name on (and took credit for) pyramids that had been built thousands of years earlier by people from the legendary city of Atlantis. They accuse mainstream archaeologists of covering up or willfully ignoring evidence pointing to non-Egyptian origins of the pyramids.

Not surprisingly, it is Hawas who vandalized the cartouche! He has been sacked as Director of Egyptian Antiquities and charged with multiple thefts of money and artifacts. It was he who vandalized the cartouche by rubbing it on a TV documentary! Of course its a fake! Vyse was the biggest criminal of Egyptology! Hawas gave millions of dollars of Egyptian jewelry to a female private collector. Maybe ISIS will execute him!
