The #Mysterious Bowls of Abu Ghorab
We have seen evidence on the #Giza Plateau of scorch marks which are in places where the sun would have been focused onto the ground from the strong reflecting heat of the sun off the polished limestone casing blocks. This lead us to surmise that the bowls gathered at Abu Ghorab, which seem to have been used elsewhere to be brought to Abu Ghorab, could have been placed to reflect the heat of the sun to specific places for heating and cutting blocks, for instance. Just as a solar oven can be moved to be set up in different places. It's a theory that made sense to us so we are sharing it for what it's worth. What do you think they were used for?
