Episode #375: The Age of the Pyramids with Randall Carlson

Summary

In this episode, Randall examines a paper that utilizes erosion patterns on the Great Pyramid to propose a new dating methodology for its construction. By comparing erosion on stones that were previously protected by casing stones to those exposed to the elements, a timeline for the pyramid's age is suggested. The discussion also links these findings to catastrophic flooding in the Nile Valley, particularly regarding the Sphinx and its surrounding enclosure walls.

Key takeaways

• 1Erosion of limestone is used to estimate the construction date of the Great Pyramid.
• 2The casing stones of the pyramid were removed, allowing for a comparison of erosion rates on blocks.
• 3Studies indicate catastrophic flooding events in the Nile Valley could affect historical timelines.
• 4The Sphinx shows significant erosion patterns that may relate to the same catastrophic events.
• 5Research on quarrying techniques offers insights into ancient construction methods.
• 6Environmental factors and historical perspectives contribute to the understanding of limestone erosion.

Transcript excerpt

What are you wearing, a doctor's coat there, Russ? Oh, I see. Oh, okay. It's just like a hoodie. Oh, it's a hoodie. Okay. It looks like a white coat. I don't know if you know, but I am a doctor. Okay. And I'm here to tell you that incremental steps towards the dark side is bad for your heart. Okay. You're saying you just do it all at once. Yes. It's very good for you. Through it and just go for it. Right. Just rip the Band-Aid off. And welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. This is Brothers of the Serpent podcast. I'm Russ Allen. And I'm just here to introduce the fact that this is the second half of our long conversation with Randall Carlson. This was effectively a completely different show because the first half we discussed with him sacred geometry, lunar mysteries, plasma, things like that. And then we changed topics over to the pyramids and Egypt. And this is still somewhat about sacred geometry, but it was a massive shift in topics. So we thought we'd publish it in two parts. So this is the second part. I hope you guys enjoy it. We certainly did. So here it is. Randall Carlson on the pyramids. Cheers. So do you guys want to look at some of the stuff about the redating of this pyramid? Yes, absolutely. Okay. Yeah. I had the paper here. The paper is, I think it's downloadable. Have watch or look it up online. Preliminary report on the absolute dating of the Khufu pyramid. Okay. Okay. So in the abstract to the article, this appeared in the, what was the journal? He is the affiliation author, Alberto Donini, affiliation with the University of Bologna, Italy. Okay. ...
