An interesting argument on how to date it.

One wonders if he did not introduce his "rounding off" idea in to make the numbers come out closer to Zahi Hawass' annointed theory? It would be tough for an Egyptian to contradict the great god Zahi.

Not exactly Giza, but, close.....

Mapping Djoser's Step Pyramid

Sunrise at Saqqara, and all is well on the necropolis. It is, as usual, silent, peaceful and still out here in the desert. Last Tuesday, however, the serenity and divinity were broken by the arrival of an American-Japanese scientific mission to carry out a laser scanning survey of Djoser's Step Pyramid. At the footsteps of the pyramid were gathered dozens of people, from scientists to technicians, archaeologists and restorers to workmen, all there to witness the first ever endeavour to document, in detail, the present condition of the great and distinctive monument using a high-tech laser device in an attempt to create a virtual three-dimensional model of Egypt's oldest pyramid complex.
