Chapter 4 Summary

Various artifacts seem to indicate that the pyramids existed long before the dynastic period of ancient Egypt.

The early giant pyramids are conventionally dated to ca. 2630 to 2450 BCE through the use of the various King Lists, Manetho’s Aegyptiaca, C14 dating of charcoal fragments from the pyramids, and a few inscriptions found on some of the monuments.

The King Lists are fragmented and incomplete. Manetho’s Aegyptiaca is a late copy that is also fragmented and incomplete.

The C14 dating of the giant pyramids yields dates of between 400 and 1,200 years older than the period Egyptologists believe the pyramids were supposedly constructed. This dating anomaly is explained by Egyptologists as resulting from the burning of “old wood.”

Most archaeologists do not cite C14 dating test results unless the data agrees with their initial assessment of a particular monument or artifact. Some scientists openly question the reliability of C14 dating.

Dendrochronology, the primary method used for calibrating C14 results, is itself beset with issues that raise questions as to its accuracy and usefulness for this purpose.

The First Intermediate Period followed the sudden and inexplicable collapse of the Old Kingdom. This period spawned the phrase “seventy kings in seventy days”—an indication, perhaps, of the rapid turnover of many kings in that period of great upheaval.

The lists of Africanus and Eusebius indicate a potential total of 123 missing kings from the period between the Old Kingdom and First Intermediate periods. This is potentially around 2,000 years (or more) of lost history that, if recovered, would push the pyramids that mainstream Egyptology attributes to the Old Kingdom period (including those at Giza) back in time to ca. 4500 BCE, if not earlier.
