From William Fix, Pyramid Odyssey, (Urbanna, Virginia: Mercury Media, 1978


quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps the single most important collection of Egyptian historical materials is a work called Ancient Records of Egypt. This is a five-volume, 1500 page catalogue of the historical documents of ancient Egypt, translated and commented upon by J. H. Breasted. It is arranged by dynasty and pharaoh. In Volume One, under the Fourth Dynasty, the records (translations of inscriptions on stones) which supposedly pertain to this era occupy just thirteen pages, which consist as much of the notes, interpolations and comments of Breasted as they do of the documents. This seems scant indeed. But what is truly extraordinary is that of these thirteen pages the documents for the entire reign of Khufu occupy only three, and these are taken up by the controversial "Inventory Stela", which Breasted flatly declares does not belong to the Fourth Dynasty at all! Other than that, the entire documentary remains from the "reign of Khufu" consist only of the names Khufu and Khnum-Khuf which have been found inside the Great Pyramid and written in a few other places.

In terms of solid evidence, we know absolutely nothing about the times in which Khufu lived nor is there clear evidence of any kind to support the dating of the Great Pyramid and the Fourth Dynasty at 2700BC. That dating is only a convention, an agreed-upon estimate - more simply, only a guess. And because we are left with nothing from the reign of Khufu except a few symbols which have been translated as Khufu and Khnum-Khuf, we know virtually nothing of Khufu either.9


In searching for Khufu, after centuries of exploration all that has been found that can be considered contemporaneous with him are those few cartouches translated as Khufu, Souphis, or Khnum-Khuf. There is nothing else.10


In terms of direct and solid evidence, the association of Khufu with the Great Pyramid rests entirely on the apparently straightforward fact that there are cartouches reading "Khufu" painted on the walls of hidden chambers inside the building.11


These marks are the only inscriptions or writing of any kind inside the Pyramid and constitute the only hard evidence for attributing the Great Pyramid to a "king" called Khufu. In terms of direct evidence, the entire case linking the Great Pyramid with Khufu comes down to these few cartouches.12
