One of the criticisms that are made about the Bible is how to account for the pyramids, whether or not they were built before or after the flood and why the Egyptian timeline doesn't match the Biblical one.
This has led many people to disregard the Bible. This author shows that the Jewish scholars, because they objected to the Christ being the Messiah, were willing to purposefully mess up the Torah timelines as a way to try and prove that Jesus is not the Christ.
This video corrects in an interesting, and I believe fairly convincing way.

No. Only the Great Pyramid is prediluvian. Dr Noah Hutchings wrote about it, and referenced other authors.
Amazingly, it appears that the alien enthusiasts are actually more logical than mainstream thinkers. Their only problem they get wrong is where the technology came from. But other than that, their reasoning is solid and comports with science.
If you take into account the Greek Septuagint, there is no reason that they were not all built after the flood. Man, just after the flood would have been far more capable than us today, in many respects because they received knowledge from Noah and his sons, who all pre-existed prior to the flood.
The pyramids aren’t that important. What is important is the Ancient Israelites timeline that, using the Greek Septuagint, allows the Bible and Egypt timelines to coincide very closely. It helps validate the events in the Bible, including whether or not Joseph was really Imhotep.
If true, I would expect there to be evidence of flooding in the various chambers and passages.
That as well.
That as well.
It’s probably one of the reasons that archeologists don’t take the idea of a worldwide flood seriously.
Out of pure curiosity I have to ask...
Who here has taken more than an intro or 101 level of theology?
I dont know if this is the same video but there was a program on Netflix when it first started which showed how those who stick to the time lines of Egyptology have stubbornly refused to change despite new discoveries and/or new interpretation of old information that point towards the Bible being far more accurate on time lines. As for the pyramids I used to get excited about its possible uses in a preflood world but now would rather just stick to what evidence or lack of it shows
He puts out some good stuff. I recommend watching the video “How long were the Israelites in Egypt?” first.

The great floods were the results of glaciers melting. Both in Northern Europe/Asia and in Northern North American. Large ice dams gave way and massive amounts of water flowed south towards the Mediterranean Sea of the old world and the Missouri Breaks of the New World. Interior Egypt would not have been innundated. Too far away. Just the coastline.
Thank you very much for posting this Jonty30 - I will be looking at this later today.
(And if I ever find that old documentary that I mentioned: I will post it up)
LOL, really??
The very design of the Great Pyramid proves God, tells the Gospel, and harmonizes history.
That’s pretty important.
The date is more important than the pyramids. If the Greek Septuagint is correct, everything lines up nearly perfectly. It’s more important some blocks of stone. :)
Might be more interesting if you ask if the Sphinx was built before the Pyramids or the flood.
If blocks of stone is all you see, sorry to hear that. But I don’t know anyone that holds to MT authority. If the Jews want to run with it, that is their folly.
No doubt there was massive flooding when the glaciers melted.
However, most creationists believe the events of the global flood recorded in scripture led to the conditions that caused the ice age. The global flood was caused by the “fountains of the great deep being broken up”. There was cataclysmic tectonic plate movement on a scale never seen up to that point. Volcanoes in numerous places would have erupted and water which had been underground was released with huge force (leading to further shifting of tectonic plates) which was the main cause of the flood. Increased and sustained rainfall was caused by a sudden massive increase in Ocean temperatures (due to the release of lava) causing precipitation.
After the flood the gases released from so much volcanic activity and the lack of vegetation to absorb the suns rays led to a sudden drop in temperature leading to glaciation of much of the planet. We know that this glaciation and also floating islands made up of trees and dirt after the flood enabled migration of humans and also the spreading of similar plants and animals on continents which are not connected and very far apart today.
Scientist have also conceded that the water we have on the earth today was not caused by comets hitting the earth as there is not enough deuterium to support this theory. They are now admitting that there was large quantities of water stored under the continents but this is not supported by naturalistic theories of how the planet was formed through accretion and etc.
My point is that the dates are more significant than the pyramids themselves.
“If” the pyramids, and to include the sphinx, were built pre-flood, then the whole moses-exodus goes down the potty.
( neither fantasy is big on my list.)
