    Correct. It's also noteworthy that the CNN article about this completely fails to acknowledge Gantenbrink's achievements and incorrectly states that the door was discovered in 1872. A summary of Gantenbrink's work can be found at http://www.cheops.org -I.

    Aliens did build the pyramids and the Sphinx. They built the pyramids and face on Mars as well. We have known this since the Viking probe in the '70s. Read all about it. Martians destroy Mars Climate Orbiter. Martians destroy Mars Polar Lander. Martians have base on dark side of moon. There it is in black and white. We couldn't print it if it weren't true!

    Which is just common sense architecture

    That would be engineering, not architecture. Architects design the shape and look of a structure; engineers (specifically, civil and structural engineers) decide how to build them.

    Until you know what IS and ISN'T architecture, you should probably refrain from making authoritative claims on what constitutes common sense in that field.
