→I am grateful to the founding members of the ACGP, among them Jean Billard, François Levieux, Jean-Louis Simonneau, Paul Allard, Bernard Marrey, Paul Lemoine, Daniel Solvet, Charles Bambade, Dominique Ferré, Georges Rème, Emilienne Dubois, and Ruth Schumann- Antelme. Many others joined the ACGP, mainly as honorary members because of their valuable involvement as scientists, Egyptologists, engineers, personalities, or simply people passionate about ancient Egypt.

→I want to thank a l the civil engineering experts from the CNISF (Conseil National des Ingénieurs et des Scientifiques de France) who were, from the end of 1999, the first interested in our studies. Their knowledge and competence in the construction fie d have a ways been very usefu for us. Later, they formed the backbone of the ACGP Association Construire la Grande Pyramide; www.construire-la-grande-pyramide.fr), an association set up in 2003 to financia y support the development of the theory and to help set up a scientific survey on the Giza P ateau.

→Nearly ten years ago, when my father and I started our amazing adventure about Khufu, we were ust the two of us. At the time of the publication of this book, we are no longer alone: hundreds of smart, skilled, and friendly people oined us throughout these long years. The tiny stream from the early times became a large river, still growing more and more, day after day. It would be quite impossib e to thank by name each of them in these acknow edgments,
but I want them to know how deep my gratitude is for their support, help, and advice.
