In the following centuries, the facing stones were removed to be used for the construction of other structures. But some of these stones are still at the base of the pyramid, because they were once protected by a layer of sand.
A new theory has emerged about the Egyptian pyramids, suggesting that they show signs of erosion due to the Flood. The pyramids themselves, according to conspiracy theorists, were built as a time capsule to survive the flood. IFLScience writes about it.
“The fact is that archaeologists have confirmed the data about why the pyramids look like this today, and this explanation does not include the Flood. In fact, the ancient form of the pyramids was different from the original. large blocks of stone were once hidden beneath the limestone “casing stones” this gave the pyramids a smoother, more even appearance, the researchers said.
However, according to them, in the following centuries the facing stones were removed to be used in the construction of other objects. But some of these stones are still at the base of the pyramid, because they were once protected by a layer of sand.
At the same time, the credibility of the Flood legend remains in doubt. So far, no evidence of such an event has been found in the geological record.
“The claim that the pyramids are older is also not supported by any facts. The age of the pyramids was determined by several methods at the same time. The architecture and culture of Egypt, which dates back to 3 thousand years So, we are not dealing with a point of reference.
“For example, pottery. All the pottery found at Giza is similar to the works of the time of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure – the Egyptian kings who built the pyramids during the Fourth Dynasty, the Old Kingdom. We study the pottery and how it changed over about 3 thousand years,” he added.
And now, when radiocarbon dating was developed, the accuracy of this age estimate was confirmed by various materials found in the pyramids.
“For example, we used bones and plant material from the tomb of Tutankhamun, which was a very precise dating. We also used bones from a chamber under the step pyramid of Saqqara, which dated of them in a particular year in the reign of King Djoser,” said Thomas Gaem from the School of Archaeology.
Let us remind you that earlier in Mexico they explained the reason for the construction of the ancient pyramids.
