I recall watching a documentary with Zahi Hawass standing next to a monument of a guy that he claimed was a foreman on the Great Pyramid and he even showed an inscription with his titles and wife's name and such.
What is interesting is that in the entire GP there is not a single inscription indicating the name of the alleged pharaoh who ordered it built as his eternal resting place to hear the Egyptologists tell it. The whole thing has less of a decorative motif than a subway tunnel. But the lowly mid-level manager gets his own inscription with hieroglyphs? Really?
There is plenty of construction at the Giza Plateau. If I could figure out how to post an image on this new system I'd post a survey map. The question is were the Giza Pyramids already there and did the ancients build around them. The world is full of sacred spots which have been re-cycled. Vatican Hill is one of them.
