Geological Shock: Were the Egyptian pyramids Built Before the Pharaohs?


While historians tell us the pyramids are only about 4,500 years old, geological evidence is beginning to tell a completely different story!

Scientists and geologists—such as Robert Schoch—have observed signs of water erosion caused by heavy rainfall on the body of the Great Sphinx of Giza and the surrounding areas. The shocking fact is that Egypt hasn’t experienced this kind of intense rainfall and flooding for 10,000 to 40,000 years—dating back to the end of the last Ice Age!

This could mean these massive structures were already standing thousands of years before the world even knew the “First Dynasty.” Are we looking at a lost civilization that predates the pharaohs? Or did the pharaohs simply restore what they found?

Join us on a journey to uncover the truth hidden within the stones! What do you think… are the pyramids older than we’ve been told?

    Yes, there’s absolutely no clue they were built by the Egyptians, except all that writing on the walls. I think with was a fresh idea around…oh, 1972?

    > Wouldn’t you expect to find detailed records of this process? Wouldn’t you expect the ancient Egyptians, who documented every detail of their lives on the walls of temples and tombs, to boast about building the greatest structure?

    I’ve never got this argument. Not that there wouldn’t have been records if the pyramid was built in the 4th Dynasty – just that there isn’t an expectation that they would survive. The temples and causeways at Giza survive generally only in a very fragmentary state.

    Take this inscription.

    > …in the [Horizon-of]-Khufu…building the sanctuares of the god(s)…of *dwꜢ*…^1

    There’s a reference to both the Great Pyramid (at least the name used in the 4th dynasty) and construction going on. The fragmentary block it’s located on probably came from one of Khufu’s temples at Giza.

    The issue is that the block, and others identified as originating from Giza, were reused in the Middle Kingdom and the temples at Giza associated with the Great Pyramid survive either as foundations or are buried under a modern settlement. Our picture of the records here is very limited.

    Judging what was written down is difficult without access to most of the text from the period.

     

    > is true that a cartouche bearing Khufu’s name was found

    I’ve seen the reference to a single cartouche a fair amount. There’s more than one though – just looking at an illustration of the relieving chambers makes that clear.^2 You don’t need to think the graffiti is convincing evidence of a 4th dynasty date, but repeating the trope of a singular cartouche isn’t an accurate representation of the evidence.

     

    The point of raising these issues isn’t to say that the pyramids were built during the 4th dynasty and dismiss any alternative theories. Just that challenging the mainstream positions here could be better done.
