Egypt finds remains of 3,700-year-old pyramid
I know we have many interested in cool archaeology info. Here's to hoping there's more to be found...
Egypt finds remains of 3,700-year-old pyramid The remains of a pyramid built some 3,700 years ago have been discovered in Egypt, the antiquities ministry says. An interior corridor and a block engraved with 10 hieroglyphic lines were among the finds at the Dahshur royal necropolis, south of Cairo. The ministry said they were in very good condition and that excavation work was continuing to try to reveal more and establish the size of the pyramid. It is believed to have been built during the 13th pharaonic dynasty. Dahshur is where King Sneferu of the 4th Dynasty built ancient Egypt's first true smooth-sided pyramid, the 104m-high (341ft) Red Pyramid, about 4,600 years ago. He also constructed an earlier version, the 105m-high Bent Pyramid, whose slopes change angle from 54 degrees to 43 degrees about halfway up. Sneferu was succeeded by his son Khufu, the renowned builder of the Great Pyramid at Giza, which is 138m high and was a wonder of the ancient world. |

What does Jesus have to say about this. It's around 1,500 years before him. It must be a lie!

I bet carbon dating has it at 60 million years old.

I realize that Egypt has a lot of sand, which is one thing, but in general I'm always unclear on how archaeological stuff ends up underground. Whether it's a pyramid or an arrowhead or a statue or something else, they always find this stuff by digging. Does dirt really move that much?

Soil builds up with wind and rain, then plants grow. Plants die and turn into soil themselves. Eons pass. |

And plants are a good point. If you have dirt at Z=-3 inches compared to the ancient sidewalk and hoverport, and then the plant grows 12 inches and then dies, you could have dirt/mulch that moves up and over the ancient sidewalk and hoverport. Wind would certainly move dirt around, but it would seem random that it would happen to pile up on the ancient hoverport. It seems like dirt is a zero sum game worldwide other than maybe stuff eroding off rocks. But yeah, I read about places like Troy, and I've been to all sorts of historic places to see ruins, and they're often below ground level. Notre Dame has an old settlement under it, Mesa Verde has settlements that were excavated below ground level, and so on. I guess the other logic is that we only find the ones that ended up underground because the ones that don't get buried either erode away or get carted off by local gypsies.
