Evidence context

How this source is used

Evidence roles describe what this source helps establish inside each Investigation. They are local to that use, not permanent labels attached to the publication itself.

Investigation

Was the Khufu cartouche in the Great Pyramid forged by Vyse?

Challenges

Independent contemporary documentation now ties Khufu's reign and organized labor directly to the pyramid project, so the attribution does not depend on Vyse's nineteenth-century cartouche discovery.

Challenges

The Wadi el-Jarf logbooks, discovered independently in the twenty-first century, record Merer's team transporting Tura limestone to Khufu's Great Pyramid while it was under construction.
