[edit] Pyramidiots

This section is really not necessary, it's deragatory and arrogant. Who built them and why is a controversial subject and calling everyone who doesn't agree with you "idiots" isn't very neutral, nor does it contribute to the page, so it doesn't belong here. It's enough to say that it's pseudoscience.

It's a well known term and has a place here, derogatory or not. Please remember to sign your posts next time. You can't remove stuff just because you don't like it or you think it is arrogant.--Dougweller (talk) 13:53, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Right, it's not neutral at all. That's why it would only be appropriate as a sourced quote or summary, not something from a wikipedia editor. We're supposed to neutrally represent all points of view, but not add our own. I think it does that. Dicklyon (talk) 16:06, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Ok, that's fine then, it is a sourced quote, that's all. From an Egyptologist. So it's legitimate here.--Dougweller (talk) 16:23, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Egyptology?

It seems peculiar to include pyramidology as part of Egyptology. Is it just to make sure it doesn't pretend to be? Or does the project include pseudo-eqyptologies? Dicklyon 14:48, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
