Dear Friends: I am in search for any information on when and who removed the stones from from the outer skin of the great pyramids on the Gaza plateau. It has been stated that a town was constructed near the base of the pyramids to construct them. Could just the opposite have happened, that a town was built in order to strip the stone and use it else where? Like a large quarry? Can anyone can solve this for me? It has been on my mind for a long time. Thanks. Atlantian-1
