  2.  @norcoextreme666  Have you looked?

  3.  @norcoextreme666  That's not a reply to my question. Have you actually seen evidence of archæologists profiting from their finds? Have you even seen evidence that Zahi Hawass, who is almost certainly corrupt, has profited from Egyptian archæology? If you actually have seen such evidence you should post any relevant links here and report your findings the the relevant police force. But if you can't do this then all you have is anecdote and rumour, probably untrue.

  4. I can't understand it either.

  6. The people who desecrate the bodies are those who steal the grave-goods to sell them for profit. Archæologists don't do that, they conserve, preserve and respect the bodies.

  7. But those tombs weren't peaceful for thousands of years. The grave-robbing started not long after the first tomb was finished. That's why Tutankhamun's tomb was so important - the grave-robbers hadn't been able to plunder it.

  8. I'm afraid that that's a myth.

  9.  @abed9267  No. They just died from what were normal reasons after living an ordinary length of time. There was nothing weird about it. Lord Carnarvon died shortly after the tomb from an infected mosquito bite. Nobody else involved in opening or investigating the tomb died in the next ten years. Some didn't die for another half-a-century.

  10. Great. Others want to steal your your history because they think, wrongly, that they have none.

  11. Wrong.

  12. No.

  13. I'm afraid you're wrong. Archæology today is about conservation, not destruction and certainly not grave-robbing. The actual grave-robbers are those who only care about profit. That's why conservation is important - to protect this stuff.

  14. Abir NiGam posted and quickly deleted "Phil Potter 😂😆 let me guess... British???😆". There was no need for him to guess. If he'd asked I'd have told him. Asian, European, African and USA American.

  15.  @abirnigam8816  If YT deleted your post how was I able to quote it? If YT deleted it when you posted it why would they let me post it again? So much for conspiracy theory. Incidentally you have chosen to ignore my post about my antecedents. I wonder why? Are you ashamed of yours? You know nothing about archæology as you have made abundantly clear. You seem to know a bit about grave-robbing though. Are you an expert in that kind of crime?

  16.  @FelixHdez  In English it gives it's name to Monday and the French for that is Lundi. In most Germanic languages it's usually a variant on Monday while in most Romance languages it's a variant on Lundi.

  17. Nice to see you're so open-minded!

  18. That sounds about right to me.

  19. Really? So all the archæologists should consult you about their speciality? Are you qualified to advise them? Can you provide any evidence for your claims? Why am I asking you anything?

  20.  @vendettamedianl  So how many qualified and respected archæologists specializing in Egyptology agree with your hypothesis? I'd guess none. You are wrong. Archæologists have found many anomalies and are actively investigating. One of the many things they have disproven conclusively is that the Great Pyramid is some kind of electrical device. The Sphinx may predate Khufu's pyramid but only by a few centuries, not millennia.

  21. More so.

  24.  @GioFransesca  So you are quite sure that you know better than the archæologists and historians who've studied the pyramids and who, between them, have centuries of experience and knowledge?

  25.  @GioFransesca  In one sense you are, of course, right. The archæologists and historians who study Pharaonic Egypt know far more than I. Obviously they know far less than you - in your own rather arrogant opinion. But perhaps you are right and I have simply missed your ground-breaking research. Or maybe your research hasn't been published yet. Nevertheless there should surely be references to it in the academic literature - perhaps you could provide references to such academic papers? But I doubt you can. Your speculation is not evidence of any kind. You think you know better than the real experts who have spent decades studying the pyramids simply because of your arrogance. Oh, and I have researched personally the technology required to build the pyramids, including the copper saws and drills. It is quite up to the task of building the pyramids - ask any engineer worth his salt. Experiment has proved it works.

  26.  @GioFransesca  So, and as expected, you have no argument.

  28.  @GioFransesca  So, and as expected, you have no argument. In consequence your theories can be discarded and the Egyptologists theories stand.
