Submarine landslides are the dominant process for sediment transport from the continental shelf to the deep ocean.

I think you’ll find that it was archaeologists who gave us the figures of the block numbers originally.
I’m fully aware of the hill the pyramid is built on/into.
Estimations aren’t something you can throw at people as if it’s the truth. They are ESTIMATIONS.
One acre = 43,560 sq. ft, or 208.71 feet on a side.For the pyramid's base, length = width = (square root of 13.097144 acres) x 208.71 feet = 755.321 feet. Or 755.321 x 12 = 9063.85 inches.Height = (755.321 x tangent 51deg 51 min)/2 = 480.783 feet. Or 480.783 x 12 = 5769.403 inches. For the cap stone base: length = width = (32.18 x 2)/tangent 51deg 51 min = 50.55 inches. The average size of a pyramid stone = (5 x 8 x 12) The average side measurement, at the base = 759.3 ft. The height used was 201 steps high, or 480 feet. (This is minus the height of the Capstone, which was one piece in itself. The number reached by the Pascal computer program was 603,728 blocks used. The solid core takes up the space of 13,016 stones. So, the actual number of stones used to build the Great Pyramid is 603,728 - 13,016 = 590,712. This figure is (2,300,000 - 590,712) = 1,709,288 blocks less than the often published 2.3 million value.

The massive flood that ensued across the Sahara most likely removed a few kilometers off much of the surface of the flow path.
Atlantis was directly in the way. Jimmy showed how the timeline is correct because it flowed over and cut through the lava shield of a volcano that was proven to have erupted prior to the flood, not to mention the mile wide separated ripples of the sand in the path created by the super tsunami type headwater that was more than a kilometer high.
The evidence is starting to be overwhelming, and this is now moving into the realm of reality that will change a great deal of history and the retirement of many of the old school geologists that have stood in the way of innovative research.
I think that Jimmy should be commended for what he had revealed and the odds of this scenario being anything but what he has illustrated, look real good in a statistics study.
We have never witnessed anything even close to this kind of catastrophic occurrence, so an open mind is all you need at this juncture. The previous work by Carlson and Hancock on themes like this were so ballyhoo'ed and ridiculed.... yet today they are emerging as superstars, as they rightfully are. They walked the walk and talked the talk right through all of the main stream science that tried to destroy them. Mainstream Science is not laughing now.
I think readers here see you defending this ridiculously stupid Richat BS, then backing away when you have to explain how a maritime culture develops 400 miles inland. Your idea of discourse is a rational person's idea of verbal diarrhea. To you, anyone that knows anything at all about a subject you carelessly pick up and run with is a "blinkered wikipedia reader."
I think you'd have to show us that. I mean tell us why you are using the 2.3 number? Do you just believe anything? Again where did it come from? Its a thing called accuracy and knowing your sources
The Great Pyramid was built by quarrying an estimated 2.3 million large blocks weighing 6 million tonnes in total.

Not you of course but you have to get professionals to look at the materials. This however will not be happening any time soon. So, while you can endlessly speculate and pretend you are 'studying' and 'observing' in reality you aren't actually accomplishing anything?
The solid core takes up the space of 13,016 stones. So, the actual number of stones used to build the Great Pyramid is 603,728 - 13,016 = 590,712. This figure is (2,300,000 - 590,712) = 1,709,288 blocks less than the often published 2.3 million value.

Prove this statement please.
The actual proof he made it up.
He described a bronze age culture at war with a bronze age Athens, thousands of years before the bronze age, or Athens, existed. A culture which also subjugated Egypt at a time when Egypt did not exist, thousands of years before the pyramids were built. Sure you can claim all the evidence of these large bronze age cultures mysteriously disappeared (whilst there is masses of evidence of the subsequent, identical, bronze age cultures that strangely emerged thousands of years later) but, the fact remains there is exactly as much evidence Atlantis existed as there is for Narnia and Numenor.

You know as well as I do that weathering on the Sphinx amd its enclosure has been dated by some ( and one eminent geologist) at 10,500.
The timeline is being questioned , and rightfully so.
Should we not question it?

Then you can silence the ‘fringe’ forever and be rid of them.
Otherwise, it’s just your opinion .
Proof please, instead of superiority complex statements.

Now, therefore,—and this is the purpose of all that I have been saying,—I am ready to tell my tale, not in summary outline only but in full detail just as I heard it. And the city with its citizens which you described to us yesterday, as it were in a fable,we will now transport hither into the realm of fact; for we will assume that the city is that ancient city of ours, and declare that the citizens you conceived are in truth those actual progenitors of ours, of whom the priest told. In all ways they will correspond, nor shall we be out of tune if we affirm that those citizens of yours are the very men who lived in that age.

“What, then, is our education?2 Or is it hard to find a better than that which long time has discovered?3 Which is, I suppose, gymnastics for the body4 and for the soul music.” “It is.” “And shall we not begin education in music earlier than in gymnastics?” “Of course.” “And under music you include tales, do you not?” “I do.” “And tales are of two species, the one true and the other false5?” “Yes.” “And education must make use of both, but first of the false?” “I don't understand your meaning.” “Don't you understand,” I said, “that we begin by telling children fables, and the fable is, taken as a whole, false, but there is truth in it also? And we make use of fable with children before gymnastics.” “That is so.”
I will tell an old-world story which I heard from an aged man; for Critias, at the time of telling it, was as he said, nearly ninety years of age, and I was about ten. Now the day was that day of the Apaturia which is called the Registration of Youth, at which, according to custom, our parents gave prizes for recitations, and the poems of several poets were recited by us boys, and many of us sang the poems of Solon, which at that time had not gone out of fashion.

And that proves Athens was a bronze age culture thousands of years before the bronze age and explains why all evidence of such a culture's existence has entirely disappeared?
Using wikipedia as a source, eh? Aren't you a little hypocrite.
