Re: What does it say?

The lost books of Adam and Eve great roof appears only to refer to the Great Pryamid of Giza but that it too was built before the deluge.
The link that you posted did not list a "great roof". It listed "a roof", "beautiful roof", and "the roof". As to referring to the great pyramid; you must have a heck of a good imagination to take that from the text you supplied. Do you make the connection because the pyramid is old, and has a roof?

Re: Two pillars one of brick" Giza Pryamid" and one of stone " Sphinx"?
The only Joesephus I could find relating to this was during the period after Jesus' crucifixion. Perhaps I found the wrong person, this is likely.
He says however that the pillar of brick should be destroyed. Neither has been destroyed so I don't see how this applies. Both are said to report "many scientific discoveries and inventions, notably in astronomy" but this does not seem to be the case.
In the second link you supplied I read the following paragraph and this seems to blur what you are trying to say even more :
William Whiston, a 17/18th century translator of the Antiquities, stated in a footnote that he believed Josephus mistook Seth for Sesostris, king of Egypt, the erector of the referenced pillar in Siriad. He argued that there was no way for any pillars of Seth to survive the deluge, because the deluge buried all such pillars and edificies far underground in the sediment of its waters.
The flood, I am told, created the depth of the Grand Canyon in sediment, raised Mount Everest from level ground, and shot water from the depth of the Earth into space - but it did not affect these two monuments? Granted the Sphinx was buried in sand for quite some time, but certainly not to any depth I would expect given what I am told the flood did to the rest of the planet.
You had previously stated that the Pyramid was an altar, not a pillar created to survive a flood for the purpose of preserving knowledge.
IE: I still do not understand why these two monuments are evidence of a pre-flood society or that the flood took place at all.

Two pillars?
The pryamid is built on the Giza Plateau in that it was a plateau in Seths day unlike the El Capitan Plateau that was upthrusted after the flood sediments settled.
So because the Giza Plateau did not move (upthrusted) this explains why there is so little damage to both structures and why there is virtually no sedimentation?
The sphinx has visible water marking testifying it went through a deluge and could only of been created before the biblical deluge.
There is no other way that a structure could have visible water markings yet have not gone through a world wide flood?

One pillar, one flood?
I doubt you can support that the Nile River is flooding these pillars to account for the flood markings Jon expressed in the opening thread.
I read Doddy Curumehtars explanation of the Nile floods as simply a plausable alternative to the global flood scenario. Had he believed this to be the cause I would ask him to explain, as I would like you to explain how this could be the cause of the features seen on the Sphinx.
The opening thread makes this statement:
It is their belief that the only way such erosion could've been caused is by heavy rains pounding down and trickling through cracks in the hard layers: slowly eating away at them.
This is what the alternate theory bases its claim on that the Sphinx is much older than previously thought. 40 days of rainfall hardly seems to be a case for "slowly eating" of the hard limestone layers. A single flood of the Nile would not produce the features seen, and I do not believe that Doddy Curumehtar even suggested such a thing. He did say the nile flooded often.
If you believe that a single event could produce the results seen on the Sphinx, why is it not realistic to say that this event is simply a localized flood? Or localized heavy rainfall?
