How old are the pyramids?
The TREE is old; the carving, who knows? They could have been using an old tree...
Older than we think.

Fossil Suggests Egyptian Pyramids and Sphinx Once Submerged Under Sea Water

Oldest one at Giza circa 2500 BC.
2500 BC for the Great Pyramid, there’s not even any credible question about it. It was built as a tomb for Khufu, who also had many of his family members buried nearby. If memory serves, his mother’s tomb was robbed one night while the Great Pyramid was under construction.
The architect’s name was Hemiunu, and his tomb is nearby, also on the Giza plateau.
One of the early scientific Egyptologists recorded what remained of wall painting inside the Great Pyramid, the surviving text referred to such and such Year of the Cattle Drive from the reign of Khufu. It is now long gone, and there’s no conspiracy to keep anyone from finding out the “truth” about the “real” age of the pyramid.

The Sphinx is another story of course — for *that* see the work on that subject that was done by the late John Anthony West, and by geologist Robert Schoch. The video they made years ago has been uploaded a number of times, both with and without the ridiculous segment by Richard Hoagland.
