Anybody who stayed up-to-date, back between 1997 and 2007, already knew that Anubis had already taken action to save humanity by building the pyramids to transport them all around the galaxy... For his own purposes...

The Dowager Empress of China (I think that was who) had a boat carved entirely out of one piece of marble. :^)

No, the Sphinx doesn't show
"significant water damage as from a Great flood". Period.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most floodwater motion is lateral. It gradually covers a normally water-free area -- and, then it gradually drains off. It seldom leaves erosion marks, other than deepening already-extant drainage channels (gullies, arroyos, etc.)
The sphinx (and the isolating cavity around it) are carved in striated, layered rock.
Wind/sand erosion in striated rock is lateral -- it enhances the striated appearance by selectively removing exposed parts of the softer layers.
OTOH, Rain erosion is vertical -- it cuts vertical grooves down vertical rock faces -- which cut right across both the harder and softer rock layers.
The sphinx enclosure wall: exposed, eroded bedrock.
The horizontal grooves are Æolian (wind-driven sand) erosion of softer layers.
The vertical grooves are Pluvial (rain drainage) erosion.
The vertical erosion in the image is unquestionably Pluvial.
The cavity isolating the sphinx was carved as part of Sphinx construction.
The geological evidence is unequivocal.
The big question:
"When was the last time the (now-arid) Giza site had plentiful rainfall?"

Interesting chart. However, I think the figure for Ebola is way low. It is probably valid for the US incident, but given that one custom in Africa was for the family or community to wash the dead before burial, it must have been higher. Also, people should be aware that HIV/AIDS is almost never spread unless there is an exchange of bodily fluids by sexual behaviors or blood transfusion.

Flood was coming, would have drowned everyone, but for the efforts of Noah’s narc.

I assume you are familiar with Irving Finkels coracle theory, yes? If we extended the ribs to a gathered peak creating a giant garlic bulb then we could sort of-maybe-kinda also wedge it into the Sumerian description of one end pointed semi-submersable.

***
scholars had been unable to read a particular word following the Hebrew phrase 'the ark's tallness,' but the new scans revealed the word 'ne'esefat.'***
Not that I am an expert, but I cannot make much of this passage. I tried to access the orig article but it requires taking cookies, which I try to avoid. I read the 'page source' (incl HTML) which makes following the text a challenge.
The operant Hebrew word that I find is Strong's #5596 CaPHaCh (ne'e~sefat) from a root 'to scrape out', extended to 'abiding, gather together'. The word ends in Cheth, not Teth or Tau.
If Genesis 6:15 is the reference, I do not find the word in the passage in the Masoretic text. I do not know the early Semitic roots of the word. Of course I could be in the wrong ball park.
I note the orig article refers to the ridiculous theory that the pyramid represents the primeval mound. Ridiculous rather adequately describes this whole article's theory.
