       | IIRC Khafre, who gets credit for making the Sphinx, left a stela

       | The author strangely describes the pyramids as crypts, when no
       | evidence suggesting interment in them has ever been found. Was
       | the word "cenotaph" (a deliberately empty crypt) invented
       | specifically for the pyramids?
