99 Pyramid Theses
The Discrepancy Between Scientific Claims and Verifiable Reality
Ulrich S. Simon

2. 99 PYRAMID THESES
© Ulrich S. Simon, Hohenlimburg, 2022
Preface
These 99 theses shall clarify the discrepancy between scientific knowledge and verifiable
reality. They are a call to Egyptology to reflect on itself and to re-examine all supposed
knowledge considered to be certain. By objective observation, everyone should very quickly
become aware that hardly any conclusion regarding the history of the Old Kingdom pyramids
is predicated on verifiable facts. Neither regarding the chronology, the use of the pyramids,
the religious background, nor the way of their construction. Important aspects, which would
allow the creation of an almost complete chronology, until the end of the 6th Dynasty, are not
recognized so far, or they are neglected.
Nevertheless, without the meticulous work of the many Egyptologists on the excavation
sites and in the scientific documentation of archaeological records, it would not have been
possible for me to bring light into the darkness of the errors and confusions. I will provide the
evidence for each thesis and for much more, because almost nothing that Egyptologists be-
lieve to know about the pyramids of the Old Kingdom is correct. Therefore, these 99 theses
are also an invitation. An invitation to the responsible Egyptian authorities and to Egyptology
collectively to participate and collaborate.
I’m not an Egyptologist, I’m a craftsman and unfortunately also a bit of a perfectionist. I
started to study the history of the Old Kingdom pyramids more than 21 years ago, but to de-
liver an unfinished work is no option for me. A paradigm shift is inevitable. Without help it
will undoubtedly take me much more time to complete this incredible challenge to my com-
plete satisfaction. Thus, it would be desirable to find a form of cooperation satisfactory to eve-
ryone.
