The Pyramids vis a vis the Flood

The typical YEC would put the Flood before the Pyramids. And the earlier Mastaba tombs. In fact before all Egyptian archaeology (which goes back quite a way pasdt the Dynastic period. Many would even say that the limestone of the Giza Plateau was formed after the Flood.Because YECs need to use the Flood to "explain" away the geological and paleontological evidence that refutes their beliefs they have no option. And so the archaeology of Egypt becomes just one more line of evidence that they need to deny.OECs have less of a problem, because they are prepared to stretch out the Biblical chronology (not that that is really viable). They, too would place the Flood earlier - while keeping the dates.

Yes, you're misreading it.You need to remember that I was talking about what YECs would say, not the real facts. YEC's are pretty much stuck with the order of events as I describe it, because it's the only option that is not so hopelessly bad that even a YEC would hesitate to accept it. As a consequence they have to reject the dates provided by archaeology for the first few dynasties AND for the pre-dynastic remains.And this is part of my point - not only must they move the building of the pyramids by a few hundred years, they also need to redate and account for ALL the precedign archaeological material. Just talking about the pyramids is letting them off too lightly !

please don't tell me that this is the level of discussion here.
per the very first post in this thread, the question is posed.

​

why are there no watermarks on the outside of the Great Pyramid?

No. The first post is asking about watermarks on the insides - not the outsides - and of the pyramids in general - not just the Great Pyramid.I suggest that you raise the level of discussion by making it clear exactly which points you are attempting to answer - and try harder to avoid making obvious errors.Edited by PaulK, : No reason given.
