Origins of the Great Pyramid “Upended”? New 20,000-Year Claim
A new, non-peer-reviewed report argues that Egypt’s Great Pyramid may be far older than the familiar Old Kingdom timeline, proposing an age in the order of tens of thousands of years. The claim hinges on an “erosion clock” created by the removal of the pyramid’s casing stones in the medieval period, which would have exposed previously protected surfaces only in recent centuries. If this new dating process is accurate, it would imply a deep-prehistory building phase, long before dynastic Egypt, followed by later renovation.
This bold re-dating has already jumped from preprint-style publication into popular coverage, with tabloid reporting repeating the most dramatic interpretation: that the Great Pyramid’s origins could point to an advanced “lost civilization” around 20,000 years ago.
