Hany Khafre's Journal: September 10, Cairo, Egypt
8:35pm
At Everett's panel, which was about him spewing about evidence of
quarry cutting. At one point Sarah asked a question about how some of
the joints could have been formed the way they were without serious
fracturing. She basically was proposing the assinine concept that the
stones were in fact cut, but by some as of yet unknown cutting tool
they had. Everyone at the conference knows Sarah well enough to know
she has some whacked idea of where this tool came from.
At this point, I was sufficiently pissed that I stood up and said "Look
you fuckheads, has it occurred to you that the Egyptians had a methodology
for pouring the stones much the way we currently pour concrete?". Of
course, this being a scholarly conference, I didn't say "fuckheads".
I said "morons".
Sarah followed me out and insisted that the stones would exhibit a
charachteristic fracturing had they been poured that we weren't
observing. I tried to explain that I didn't mean it was
concrete, just that it was like concrete.
I go back to the field tomorrow.
