8/19 - major breakthrough - We're sure that the outlying site is a key to
building the pyramid. Aside from a few enigmatic blocks, the pyramid
symbols match exactly those in the outlying site.
The whole site is a grid in which the symbols on
one side of the pyramid align with those in our
outer dig. They are in near ly the same
orientation as well.

We believe the smaller
blocks will fall into place as
we continue.
11/4 - Through round the
clock effor t, we've made a
great deal of progress. Still
untested is how to deal with those
symbols on the pyramid blocks which do not
appear in the surrounding dig. We'll be checking
out a cross referencing scheme in the next day or so. A
side note - our supply driver said that as he approached the
site, he thought he could make out "facial features" on the sides of
our par tially constructed pyramid. We've been so close to the structure for
so long, we've never noticed, but could this be the pyramid's secret
message?
11/8 - the mysterious symbols are a mystery no longer.

This has provided the crucial information we've needed to
complete each face.

6/1 - We've completed the catalog of blocks
at site 2. there appear to be 4 sets of
stones, identical save for symbols on their
faces - symbols which exactly match many
of those at our base site. We believe that
they are the structure which was never
completed in flattened area here. With
permission, we've begun carefully transpor ting
them here.
7/15 - lengthy consultation with an exper t on
Egyptian architechture has convinced us
that what we have here is a pyramid.
We've made drawings of how it would be
assembled using the blocks from the
second site. Strangely, this pyramid lacks a
burial chamber. We think it may not be a
tomb. The symbols lead us to think that it
is some kind of ancient message.
7/25 - It took us a long time to figure out
that the corner assemblies needed to be
worked until they formed a right angle when
seen from the top.

The next
pieces were combinations of blocks which
have a suppor t function in the overall
assembly. Long Blocks along the pyramid's
base maintain shape and other smaller
blocks provide the rigid framework needed to
complete construction. Each panel has the
same arrangement,
