I challenge anyone to produce ANY form of verifiable legitimate working complex writing system that's even just 10,000 years old.

I challenge you as a 'scientist' to want to support genuine scientific testing.
Again, if the data comes back at 20,000 years or older. Would you support a public and transparent testing of the orchre or has your scientific itch been scratched with what is already known and hell with new data presented?

I respect your work Scott and thank you for not getting trapped inside the proverbial 'box'
as I like you use that box to stand on to see into the future how our past provides todays present
unanswered archeology mistakes.
I have the belief that there was certainly an advanced Atlantean ''type'' civilization
who left a coded message in the form of astrology and mathematics to explain
why todays present civilization has lost it's historic memory.

Really? Is Alice a scientist or claim to be one? Does it matter? No it doesn't the evidence is so overwhelmingly against it being possible for the Pyramid to be 20,000 years old its an established fact. We could sit here for the next 100 years with anyone using facts to debunk this crap. The poster just asked you to do something you should be able to do to support your claims of a 20,000 year old Pyramid of Giza.
Some guys selling a cheap DVD are making these claims so it must be true!!!!!!!! Who cares about a mountain of evidence VS one DVD.

The damage has been done. The question now is, can we prove their assertions of a 20,000 year age?

Our greatest engineering marvels today can only remain standing for centuries not several millenia. The things we do design to last for millenia are much more humble, something on the scale of the Pyramid is just beyond what we're capable of.
im not trying to dismiss the points youve made but i will point out that the hoover dam is expected to survive millenia with some people estimating it may last over 10,000 years
part of the reason that we arent so infatuated with building such long lasting monuments any longer is that theres really no logical reason for us to do so (and i suspect as we continue to advance things will be built for even shorter term use and things will become more modular to allow for quicker adaptation so you dont have the issues of shutting down entire cities when the time comes to overhaul the infrastructure)edit on 1-12-2013 by sirhumperdink because: (no reason given)

Why do you think it would prove a world wide flood? Or anything bible related?
The vandalism itself immediately discredits any legitimacy these STUDENTS might have had to begin with.

I've never heard that about Hoover Dam, it's interesting if true. When I think of our greatest engineering feat I always think of Mt. Rushmore, in terms of how long it's going to last (especially without maintenance like the Pyramids did) it seems like it has to be at the top of the list. I've heard 50,000 years for it before (though obviously very eroded by the end of that time).
And you're right that we don't design most things to last, there's a few things that we do design to be very sturdy however and even those fail. Nuclear power plants and NORAD are what I think of here and just look at what happened to Fukushima... something designed to withstand earthquakes. There's some merit to the idea of disposable buildings but there's also merit to the idea of minimizing waste in the future and the economics of building something well once and just repurposing it over time.
TO a time that is impossible to explain with todays history. From there it's just common sense.
You're argument isn't even an argument.
