The Giza pyramid complex — comprising the pyramids of Khufu (Great Pyramid, ~2560 BCE), Khafre (~2530 BCE), and Menkaure (~2510 BCE) on the Giza plateau west of Cairo — displays some of the most precise astronomical alig
M_2_17 — Sphinx Water Erosion Hypothesis — Schoch Debate
The Sphinx water erosion hypothesis (WEH) — the geological argument that the Great Sphinx of Giza and its enclosure show erosion patterns consistent with prolonged rainfall rather than wind-blown sand, potentially indica
M_5_10 — Controversial Datings: Sphinx, Bosnian Pyramids, Richat Structure
Three sites have become lightning rods for alternative dating controversies — each challenged by non-mainstream researchers who argue for dramatically older construction dates or non-standard interpretations, while mains
M_3_08 — Ancient Precision Drilling — Core #7 and Petrie's Evidence
