Graham Hancock claims that geological and astronomical evidence indicates the Great Pyramid was constructed by a lost civilization 12,500 years ago, not by Khufu 4,500 years ago. He argues the Great Sphinx exhibits erosion patterns caused by heavy rainfall, which only occurred at the end of the last Ice Age. Conversely, Egyptologist Dr. Zahi Hawass rejects these claims and asserts that evidence links the pyramids to the Fourth Dynasty, attributing Sphinx damage to wind erosion. Hawass also questions the absence of archaeological evidence for Hancock's ancient civilization theory.
Hancock argues that the Great Pyramid was built 12,500 years ago by a lost civilization, not by Pharaoh Khufu 4,500 years ago, inheriting an ancient tradition.
He suggests that the erosion patterns of the Great Sphinx indicate heavy rainfall occurred in the region thousands of years ago, contradicting the traditional timeline.
Dr. Zahi Hawass disputes Hancock's claims, emphasizing that evidence from the site links the pyramid's construction directly to the Fourth Dynasty and attributing Sphinx damage to wind.
Hawass points out the lack of archaeological evidence supporting the existence of a civilization that would have built the pyramid 12,000 years ago.
