👀💭 Part 2: The salt contains many seashells and #fossils that have been radiocarbon-dated to be 11,600 years old. This evidence alone can be used to date the flood, the three main pyramids, & the #Sphinx. #Archaeology #Egypt #Giza #megalithic #ancient
👀💭 Part 3: When the water went back to the sea, it took tons of debris from the desert and deposited it along the way. This water from the ocean left behind its unique signature, which is traceable by science. #Archaeology #Egypt #Pyramids #Giza #megalithic
These views never seize to amaze! 👀The Giza pyramid complex (Giza necropolis) أهرامات الجيزة is the site on the Giza Plateau in Greater #Cairo, Egypt that includes the Great #Pyramid of #Giza, the Pyramid of Khafre, & the Pyramid of Menkaure, & the Great #Sphinx #Archaeology
Have you ever heard of the “Orion Correlation Theory”? It’s the correlation between the location of the 3 largest pyramids & Orion's Belt of the constellation Orion, & that this correlation was intended as such by the original builders of the #Giza #pyramid complex. #Archaeology
The Orion correlation theory was put forward by Robert Bauval, & the theory was first published in 1989 in Discussions in Egyptology, volume 13. It was the subject of a bestseller, The Orion Mystery, in 1994. Source: arxiv.org/pdf/1109.6266.…
The evidence shows patterns of stars that is frozen on the ground at Giza in the form of the 3 pyramids & the Sphinx represents the disposition of the constellations of Orion and Leo as they looked at the moment of sunrise on the spring equinox during the astronomical age of Leo.
