Hello Andie,
Was wondering if you have ever heard of an image of the face of a man being on the wall of the pyramid of giza at the entrance to the Queen's Chamber is about where the Service Tunnel is located?
Richard Noone in his work "5/5/2000 : Ice the Ultimate Disastor" actually had a picture of this image but I have not been able to find a copy any where on the net.
Any comments you have would be appreciated but would prefer if you could post them on your blod cause sometimes my email gets lost in cyber space.
Sincerely,
David T. Hill
