[This is my brief reply to the only pertinent point Alan made:]

You seem to feel that I have not given your adopted pyramids hypothesis the attention it deserves, even though you know that I took the trouble to buy your book and at least read Part One, and despite the fact that we had some discussion about it in private. Despite your own admission that the quarry marks have a major bearing on whether or not your theory has any credibility at all, you seem unable to appreciate that it is exactly my disagreement with you on this particular issue that prevents me from taking your wider theory more seriously. If you could defend your position by responding to my detailed arguments in G:TT as I suggested then it would be a start, but it seems that that logic escapes you.

Anyway, good luck with your new book

Best, Ian
