Not every rock-cut feature requires a narrative.
In the far western sector of the Giza Plateau, I documented a sealed rock-cut entrance outside the commonly referenced NC2 cluster.
The structure presents a recessed geometry, oriented to the north, with a later brick sealing suggesting a multi-phase intervention. Its morphology shows parallels with other known features in the area, particularly with the so-called “Tomb of the Birds”.
At this stage, no interpretation is proposed.
In a landscape as complex as Giza, the distinction between "observation" and "interpretation" is not optional — it is essential.
Undocumented claims not supported by direct field evidence risk generating confusion rather than advancing knowledge.
A structured, non-invasive approach remains the only viable path for assessing such features, always under the direction of the Egyptian authorities.
Fieldwork begins with what is visible. Everything else comes later — if supported by evidence.
