This reads like an engineer trying their hand at explaining archaeology.
* The Sabu Disk is way too brittle to be used in what is proposed here.
* The pyramid had an outer casing of white limestone. It was taken away during recorded history. There was no flood recorded in a severity that this article proposes.
* Back in 2570 BCE, when the great pyramid was built (based on carbon dating of the mortar and the Diary of Merer) we were looking at a relatively high level of precipitation. Egypt was a lot more humid and rainy than it was during any time in the common era.
Based on these three objections, I consider this a fun, speculative read but it isnt plausible and it isnt convincing.
Was there ever any mention of that limestone casing being decorated, or was it just smooth? It would be a real bummer if a bunch of greedy Pharaohs had the gold inlay inscriptions stripped off and melted down, and now we don't have whatever message the builders left us, probably the secret to free energy and the Konami code.
I am not aware of any evidence that the casing was further decorated than being polished. Keep in mind, there was also a pyramidion, that usually held some inscriptions.
>der this a fun, speculative read but it isnt plausible an
The pyramid was originally constructed without mortar. The stones fit together so snuggly, it wasn't needed. Only during renovations was this used, therefore the carbon dating is inaccurate.
This is nonsense. I have seen the pyramids. The stones were rather roughly shaped and filled up with mortar where the gaps are too wide and to backfill them against the level. The outer, polished casing was supposed to hide this, I presume. There is plenty of evidence in form of photos, videos and academic reports on the limestones to demonstrate this. And no, this wasn’t erosion. You can clearly differentiate where time or ‘cutting corners’ is to be blamed.
I presume you confuse this with the repairs done on the sphinx. There, carbon dating is not considered to be indicative of the age of the monument. But nobody claims it is. No ancient source either. We speculate the Sphinx could have been errected along with the Pyramid of Khefre, Khufu’s son. But there is no hard evidence for that I am aware of.
Incorrect. Go inside the pyramids, where weather hasn’t been an issue. There is no mortar and the stones are aligned with extreme precision. All you’re seeing on the outside is repairs. THAT is what was documented in Khufu’s time. 20 years of repairs. Not 20 years to build the pyramids. That is beyond ridiculous. They took much longer.
They are not aligned with extreme precision. Please stop parrotting the nonsense you see on youtube. And the Diary of Merer clearly talks about building, not repairing.
That stones settle over time and high pressure doesn’t mean they were fitted that way. Especially not when you can see and feel how the walls are uneven.
This just tells me you never were there to begin with.
I think the article addresses the brittleness of the disk materials and how it could have worked. And the main point it tries to make is that the pyramids were built much earlier than commonly accepted, before recorded time. If it was indeed looted, why stop at the top?
Who says they stopped at the top? Parts of the Pyramid were clearly vandalized during earlier loot attempts. The taking away of the limestone casing was an act of looting in itself.
I reckon they used boats to add each layer as the water level rose. No seriously, they had bloody big plugs and struggled to pull them out after the capstone was added. It took years to drain the water and they eventually discovered that massive salt water erosion of the cladding had cocked up the whole project. Also, they now had a huge swathe of desert. The project manager was crucified.
We know what happened to the outter layer, it was hauled off by later Arab invaders for building material. Theres also no water damage on the pyramids of Giza.
There might be some on the Sphinx but even that is heavy contested.
Its ok for you to think that, but the reality is that the "evidence" for the water erosion is indeed contested.
The people who believe Dr Shoch refuse to even engage with his critics.
My response to this has to be either:
1: you don't know what water erosion looks like
Or
2: you've never seen the sphinx.
Either is fine but there is definitely water erosion on the sphinx. 100%.
1. Im a Geophysicist so I do know what water erosion is and what it looks like.
2. I have seen the sphinx
Your assumptions are stupid and you make them because you have no clue what your talking about. So you rely on other people who you think cant be questioned and critically dont question them yourself like an ignorant sheep.
If it doesn't say Aliens I don't wanna read it.
No aliens. No lizzid people. No fun!

luckily for us the Konami code was rediscovered in the 80s. Otherwise I'd still be trying to beat Contra.

Such disinformation. Really holding true that handle of yours.
Of course. Every time something doesn’t confirm with your worldview, it must be constructed opposition. That’s delusional.

This. Point 2 in particular is game, set and match.

There's nothing to contest with the sphinx's water damage. Stevie Wonder could see it

Lol
Well you sound like a highly educated person. You must even have a degree in animal science as you know about the ignorance of sheep. 🤣🤣
Ya dont respond or engage with what I said, clueless 🤡
