"Stuff gets buried and then exposed over time. Your so obsessed with ancient floods that you don't think about how the earth itself changes over time Geological forces push rock up down sideways and tilted over 1000s of years. Rock is eroded by wind and sand as much as by water. The minerals in the fossilized whale skeleton are denser and harder than the stone around it. When the surrounding stone eroded it left the fossilized whale bones exposed. None of that has anything to do with floods. The AI video is totally fake.

"The things in the video are unrelated. You're mind's natural tendency towards pattern recognition lis looking for things that look similar. Since you seem to think that everything in the western European & American traditions were inspired by ancient Egypt anything that somehow reminds you of an Egyptian object or Egyptian symbols causes you to identify it with a supposedly Egyptian precursor. The tendency it see familiar forms un unrelated objects as having meaningful connections is called apophenia.

"The debate about what race the Sphinx's face depicts has become a big topic in popular debate especially in fringe theories about ancient Egypt. Egyptologists do not consider this issue to have any value. There is a Wikipedia article titled "Ancient Egyptian Race Controversy" which discusses how various pieces of Egyptian art have been interpreted in terms of race. It includes a section on the Sphinx. Since Egyptian art is symbolic idealized and stereotyped I don't think we can determine a person's actual appearance from the way they are depicted in a work of art. For me the Sphinx doesn't"

"No this interpretation is not correct. The Anastasi I papyrus hasn't just "resurfaced". Egyptologists have published translated and discussed it for decades. The letter by Hori to Amenemope is actually a piece of satire. In addition to training scribes in writing it was also very funny for them to read. It includes a bunch of difficult imaginary. problems and situations the scribe uses to challenge his colleague The Shasu are an ethnic term for Bedouin in the ancient Sinai and Holy Land. The scribe is talking about an impossible mission of a messenger traveling by chariot in the wilderness."

"@Mexnexus just asked me an interesting question about two temples next to the Great Sphinx at Giza near the Great Pyramids Why can't tourists access the two big temples in front of the Sphinx and he wasn't permitted to photograph them. He said the guards even took his binoculars. The two temples in front of the Sphinx when facing it are on the left the Valley Temple of Khafre's pyramid. This is partly accessible but you have to follow the "tourist path" and they wouldn't let you go anywhere that was closed off. For example you exit on to the causeway up to the Pyramid but there is an iron"

"I watched Brian Forester's video about Luxor Temple and his claims about it are completely wrong He basically says that the granite statues and obelisk are predynastic and the sandstone temple is Dynastic He also claims that the change of the axis of the temple and damage to the monuments are due to some kind of "cataclysm" He believes the Dynastic Egyptians didn't have the technology to sculpt or cut granite. All these claims and assumptions are incorrect. It is also clear to me that he lacks knowledge or awareness of important knowledge and he lacks skills to make meaningful and convincing"

"That's our Jimmy lying about people and distorting the truth about them personally than he does about ancient history and monuments. Haters on those rate my profs sites self select. You'd get the same "fair and objective" ratings by polling Trump's approval at a Democrat campaign rally or Biden's polling Fox News viewers. I know I've got over all good ratings from the anonymous surveys all students do after classes end. Hater's gonna hate Jimmy and just like Taylor Swift I'm gonna shake you and the rest of 'em off baby because I don't need anyone's approval or adulation to feel secure or good"

"Yes yes I do. I've seen dozens and dozens of them in museums around Egypt Europe & North America & images & reports on them in scientific publications. I know people who study them & I've handled a few in a museum store room when I was a graduate student They are NOT uniform perfect symmetrical unblemished flawless etc. Etc. The minor imperfections one sees upon close examination even very minor flaws is what makes them look real. Modern machine made replica all perfect & shiny look pretty to many.

"@FlintDibble Yes but when the evidence is basically "this looks strange The Egyptians couldn't have done that It must have been an earlier civilization and that proves that over a century of careful research by archeologists & Egyptoloogists at Giza is totally wrong" its hard to believe"

You can cherry pick some superficial "evidence" and ignore all the hard data from actual archeological geological & other legitimate scientific fields 🙈🙉🙊 and hope it will all go away but it won't. Genuine science & archaeology are the elephant in the room that you are ignoring but it won't go away just because you ignore it or say its all fake"

"TLDR: There are wall carvings from other pyramids showing construction activities including: men dragging the pyramid capstone for King Sahure's pyramid at Abu Sir Ships loaded with large granite palm tree columns for the pyramid temple of King Unas at Saqqara Almost nothing of the Great Pyramid of Khufu's temple wall carvings survive. Its temple may have shown construction scenes now lost Main Post: Construction scenes were symbolic not historical or to describe construction methods As in all civilizations official art doesn't show every kind of event or activity that either they or we would"
