An international team of researchers studying a 4,000-year-old Egyptian skull that had signs of cancer say they have found evidence that ancient Egyptian medical practitioners knew about and potentially even tried to treat the deadly disease...
While previous studies have revealed that Egyptians from these periods were able to identify, describe, and treat diseases and traumatic injuries, build prosthetics, and even place dental fillings, this study is the first to show that these surprisingly advanced ancient people may have tried to treat cancer around the same time they were building the pyramids...
To conduct their analysis, the researchers were able to procure two separate skulls that showed signs of cancerous lesions. The first, dubbed "Skull and mandible 236," has previously been dated to between 2687 and 2345 BCE, while the second, "Skull E270," has been dated to between 663 and 343 BCE. For comparison, the Great Pyramid of Giza is believed to have been built over a period of about 27 years...
When examining the roughly 30 small, metastasized lesions and one large lesion likely caused by neoplasm spread across Skull 236 under a microscope and also using a CT scanner, the researchers say they were "stunned" to discover something unexpected: clear cutmarks around a number of the lesions...
After finding evidence of cutmarks on the 4,000-year-old Egyptian Skull known as 236, the team performed a similar analysis of Skull E270. Like the older sample, E270 also had a large lesion the researchers described as "consistent with a cancerous tumor that led to bone loss." However, unlike the other skull, this specimen had two smaller, "healed" lesions likely caused by traumatic injuries. Furthermore, one of the smaller lesions appears to be the result of a "close-range violent event" involving some sort of sharp instrument.

I’m not saying it was Aliens, but it was Aliens.
[’stunned’]
Let me just be first to say “beeber”
Here we go again with the ‘science of egyptology’.
“27 years to build.”
2 million blocks.
Roughly 10,000 days to build (for easy math).
or 240,000 hours.
That means they placed a block of stone roughly every 7 minutes, 24 hours/day.
I would LOVE to see them demonstrate that amazing feat with MODERN technology... /s
And I’m supposed to be in ‘awe’ of their consequent speculations.
Nope.
Again, aliens.
“Let me just be first to say “beeber””
OK, you can be first. I remember that thread. I ‘think’ life was simpler back then.
Crystal skulls?

2000000/20=100000 a year
100000/365 days =273.9726027397 per day
2 million blocks works out to 274 blocks a day for 20 years.
At 10 or 11 blocks per hour, using multiple crews at the site, plus more numerous involved in the block production crews (assuming they were quarried), it’s not some great leap of faith.
Scaling production is also how the work crews were fed. The actual bakeries and whatnot were excavated in the past 20-25 years. A large number of ordinary bakeries were built nearby to support the construction.
Is such a thing even possible? Yes, it is.
Cancer is likely a byproduct of the onset of agriculture. Prior to the agriculture age, people didn’t live long enough for their cells to divide enough to become cancerous.
:)
Someday, long after I’m room temperature, real scientists will be permitted to study Egypt without its current, hateful, biased overlord, and perhaps the truth will be revealed.
Until someone can demonstrate a mere 10-meter-tall pyramid built at that rate of construction, I have a bridge for sale.
Were the aliens the ones that make the crude, ineffective cut marks or were they the ones that caused the cancer?
What a piece of crock article. A huge leap to go from simple Cutmarks to “cancer surgery”.
Then should have looked for a neurolink chip and evidence of time travel.
Clearly, the treatment failed - the patient is dead.
I don’t imagine obesity was a big problem for pyramid workers.
Is it stuned?
