| Hexagram/Star of David | "Ancient Jewish" = [FABRICATION] (Leningrad Codex 1008; Prague 1354) |
| Great Pyramid | Φ as documented intent = [MYTH] (Markowsky 1992); emergent ratio ≈1.6186 = [VERIFIED] |
| Parthenon | Φ = [MYTH] (Zeising 1854 disputed); 4:9 ratio = [VERIFIED] |
| Dendera "lightbulb" | [FABRICATION] (creation myth in its own captions) |
| Baghdad "battery" | [FABRICATION] ("universally rejected") |

### Gaps (NOT yet documented)

1. **No detailed CIA funding chain for specific science programs** — only CCF at summary level
2. **No Vatican money trail** — the "Vatican suppression" myth is debunked but no Vatican funding of science is documented
