Pyramid Rover fully explored the North shaft and discovered the second door was the same distance from the QC as the South shaft door was. Absent a survey from them id say that indicates similar inclines.

According to Egyptology, not me, the Queens Chamber was built complete with only two shafts, not four. Only after it was completed did the builders decide to 'go for it' and build the KC with ,again, only two shafts which are pointed at completely different stars. They weren't designed as a four shaft system. Of course, the Subterranean chamber has no shafts at all . So you're looking at three different major religious changes in one pyramid over 25 years according to your theory and using Egyptology's less than convincing construction timeline. That"s my point.

Ya, I don't agree with that . I say there is an inner pyramid in G1. The QC shafts were covered over when the exterior was enlarged. The QCS doors are located behind the facing stone of that inner pyramid. I wrote a paper on this. I should have gotten an award for it.

See above .

The same magic powers you say guided the Pharoah's spirit UP around corners and incline changes can guide my priests voices DOWN the shaft. My Made Up Duat Theory (M.U.D.T.) is just a way to point out the lack of evidence for all star shaft theories. There is just no evidence for any of it.
Here,ill even throw some PT at M.U.D.T. and see if it sticks...
"Orion is encircled by the Duat, when the One-who-lives-in-the-Horizon purifies himself. Sothis is encircled by the Duat, when the One-who-lives-in-the-Horizon purifies himself. This Unas is encircled by the Duat, when the One-who-lives-in-the-Horizon purifies himself. He is content because of them, he is refreshed because of them, in the arms of His father, in the arms of Atum"
Basically, I think everybody else is wrong most of the time when it comes to pyramids. I'd feel completely comfortable going against all of Egyptology (-Lehner) with my ideas at this point. Id crush them.
