(Can't... resist... ) 300 CE. Constantine built them.

I don't think so. That's using faulty science techniques, like Carbon Dating. Real scientists can use inference to determine that Napoleon had them built as glories to himself when he conquered the desert wasteland of Egypt. Obviously he had the power, and he had every manuscript that mentions them interpolated and then buried in the sand.

What makes you think that Napoleon was historical? All those similarities to Hitler -- interest in Egyptology, failed in invading Russia. Obviously he was created by the French as a "conqueror copycat".

How come all countries share the same Conquering Tyrant story? I think that it's evidence of a world-wide tyrant!

The pyramids are natural feature, as anyone with the simplest of geological learning can attest.

They just appear designed to some less educated humans because the human brain has evolved with pattern recognition systems that penalise false-positives much much less than it penalises false-negatives (running away from a tiger that isn't there is wasteful, but much less wasteful than not running away from a tiger that is there).

Excuse me. 300 CE makes Diocletian Emperor, not Constantine, and the former built them exactly for the opposite reasons - whatever these were.

Roger Pearse

But surely Diocletian is only a fabrication by Constantine...

All the best,

Yet the problem is, if Diocletian aka Constatine built the pyramids, who did write Herodotus’ History, which to date was supposed to include the earliest mention of them?

Let me guess—a Mythical Herodotus?:huh:
