MORE: Mysterious symbols spanning the globe hint at a lost civilization 38,000 years ago
An Egyptologist is making the case that the Great Pyramids were built by an advanced civilization thousands of years earlier than previously thought.
António Ambrósio, an independent researcher from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, detailed the mysterious clues that point to the three main pyramids at Giza being up to 12,000 years old, predating the Egyptians by millennia.
If Ambrósio’s theory were to be proven correct, it would rewrite the history of modern humans and expose the existence of a still-unknown ‘supercivilization’ on Earth that constructed pyramids and other megastructures around the world.
At the heart of the researcher’s case are a set of key inconsistencies Ambrósio and other scholars have claimed as proof that the Egyptians only copied the original three pyramids after discovering the ancient structures at Giza.
The new paper, which has not been peer-reviewed, argued that no royal mummies or burial items have ever been found inside the Giza pyramids, despite the ancient Egyptians claiming these were the tombs of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure.
Moreover, the original Giza pyramids, currently believed to have been built 4,600 years ago, displayed stunning engineering skill that aligned with star constellations, featured super-precise stone cuts and had a base that was almost perfectly level on all sides.
Ambrósio explained that these incredible engineering feats were never matched by any of the smaller pyramids confirmed to have been built during the time of the Egyptians between 2500 and 2150 BC.
The researcher added that the nearby statue of the Sphinx has shown signs of water erosion from heavy rain, which hasn’t happened in Egypt since around 5000 to 3000 BC, suggesting that the entire site was already ancient and eroding at the dawn of the Egyptian civilization in 3100 BC.
