I was reading about Caesar and Cleopatra’s vacation down (up?) the Nile and how they stopped (as every other tourist did and does) at Memphis to goggle the ancient Pyramids and it stuck me that at the time they were there, the Pyramids were older to them than our present day is to Caesar’s.
Quite old indeed.
“Quite old indeed.”
I believe they pre-date Noah’s Flood. And the Sphinx was originally a lion, with a lion’s head, not the head of a Pharaoh, a dead one at that (it had a beard, only statues made after death of the pharaoh have beards).
Quite old indeed.
The pyramids were ancient when Abraham saw them in the second millennium BC. At that time, they would have been about 700 years old--the equivalent of Marksburg Castle in Germany, Dover Castle in England or the Mesa Verde ruins in Colorado today.
