Similarly, the next Event Z date can be calculated as:

circa 2388 BCE + 7,693 years (periodicity) = circa 5305 CE.

IS GIZA TWELVE THOUSAND YEARS OLD?

The age of the Great Pyramid (and its contemporaries) is arguably one of the most hotly contested aspects of the Giza monuments, even among some mainstream Egyptologists, who, by and large, insist that they were all built circa 4,500 years ago, give or take a few hundred years. However, with the age of the Sphinx being pushed many thousands of years back in time (as a result of the research of the rebel Egyptologist, the late John Anthony West, along with the evidence presented by geologist Robert Schoch of Boston University), this has brought many to also question the age of the Great Pyramid itself, along with the other contemporary Old Kingdom pyramids in Egypt.

The stock response by Egyptologists to claims of a much greater antiquity for these monuments is probably best epitomized by Mark Lehner, who famously asked, “Show me a single potsherd” of an older civilization with similar capabilities to those of the early dynastic Egyptians. Lehner’s comment was made in the early 1990s during a debate with Schoch and, unfortunately, long before the 12,000-year-old megalithic site of Gobekli Tepe had been excavated by the German archaeologist, the late Klaus Schmidt, a site that clearly demonstrates that mankind’s ability to construct complex megalithic architecture comparable to that at Giza had been achieved many thousands of years earlier than had previously been thought possible.

It may be, however, that Lehner was actually asking the wrong question. Instead of asking “Show me a single potsherd” of this purported older Egyptian civilization that built the pyramids, Lehner may have been better to consider the possibility that it is not the older civilization of ancient Egypt that has been lost but rather that it is a more recent Egyptian society that is lost to history. This is to say that it is a curious and documented fact that we have considerably more evidence of and know more about the preceding Old Kingdom period than we do, for example, of the more recent First Intermediate Period (FIP) of the ancient Egyptian civilization. You might ask why should this matter?

The periods in ancient Egypt we call the Old Kingdom and Middle Kingdom were separated from each other by a transition period that Egyptologists, as stated above, refer to as the First Intermediate Period. This transition period in ancient Egyptian history is often described by Egyptologists as a “dark age” since (comparatively) little is known about this time due to there being very little by way of monumental architecture or documentary records having survived from this period. Orthodox Egyptology believes that this dark age lasted around 150 years, from circa 2181 BCE to 2055 BCE6 and that it came to a close with the rise of the Twelfth Dynasty. The FIP is typically defined by Egyptology as a time when chaos existed all across Egypt, when the central authority of the pharaoh
