A new study has sparked fierce debate in the archaeological world, challenging the official chronology of the Great Pyramid of Cheops at Giza. The author, Italian engineer Alberto Donini, proposes that this wonder of the ancient world was not built around 2580-2560 B.E.S., as traditional Egyptology accepts, but thousands of years earlier, between 37,000-9,000 B.E.

This revolutionary hypothesis is based on a new method called ‘relative erosion.'” Donini’s method compares the level of erosion on the stones of the pyramid with those known earlier, such as the cover being removed about 675 years ago.

According to him, the linear erosion shows that the structure is much older, with a probability of 68.2 percent for the proposed dates. He goes further, arguing that the pharaoh Khufu (Kheops) did not build, but restored the pyramid, after carbon-14 analysis in the mortar organic come from restoration work, not original. Donini even doubts its function as a tomb, calling it an unsolved mystery. Egyptologist Corinna Rossi from the Polytechnic University of Milan disputes this thesis. “Erosion is not constant. It doesn’t just depend on time, but on sand, rainfall and foundation coverage until the modern era,” she says.

The official chronology relies on archaeological findings, carbon-14, hieroglyphic texts and astronomical evidence, with a maximum uncertainty of 100 years. This debate highlights the tension between innovation and tradition.

If confirmed, the study could rewrite history. Ancient Egypt, opening the doors to the discovery of forgotten civilizations. However, Rossi emphasizes the coherence of two centuries of Egyptology: the pyramids evolved as royal tombs. Donini admits the uncertainties of the thesis, but insists that the order of magnitude cannot be so wrong. Meanwhile, the world awaits independent verification of these claims. improve the experience and to display advertisements (Google AdSense).
