Engineer · The Giza Power Plant, 1998
Christopher Dunn
Machinist and engineer. He reads the precision of Egyptian granite, including surfaces described by Flinders Petrie, as evidence of advanced manufacturing. The Giza Power Plant then proposes that the Great Pyramid was a machine, not a tomb.
A tight tolerance is a measurement. A power plant is a reconstruction. The two should not be treated as one result. The Khufu marks, the diary of Merer, and the workers’ town remain the archaeological case that the pyramid was built for a Fourth Dynasty king.

Main findings this site uses
Precision stonework as a lost manufacturing system, and the Great Pyramid as a coupled acoustic and chemical machine.
Petrie measured the casing and the granite. Egyptology accounts for the same buildings as royal tombs and temples. Dunn’s machine is an engineer’s hypothesis, not a measured output of the pyramid.
