Comments by "Michael Deierhoi" (@michaeldeierhoi4096) on "How Old is the Great Pyramid REALLY?" video.
@varyolla435 Very well stated. You are apparently well informed on the subject. This is one reason I like reading comments because I find one that is on point without judgmental statements or dogma. Just the facts at least to the degree that we know which you apparently do.

Thank you for providing this compilation of evidence for the dating of the Great Pyramid. I knew that more evidence was out there, but did know where to look. Your explanation of each piece of evidence was clear and further underscores my current understanding. The only point that I would add was to the evidence of the astronomical data. At one point you stated after 3:35 that one of the researchers determined that subsequent pyramids built after the Great Pyramid were aligned to true north using certain stars which had changed slightly from the position of the Great Pyramid because those stars had moved. I'm sure you must be aware that in reality it is not the stars that moved, but the precessional movement of the earth changed the position of those stars in relation to the earth. imo of course. Otherwise I think your explanation of the different evidence used to date the pyramid was spot on.

The evidence provided by this channel is not meant to be "proof" because science isn't about finding 'proof'. Science is about collecting evidence to that can best support a claim, in this case the date when the pyramid was built. It's not 100% but the evidence provided is significantly stronger then the alternative 'theories'. And there of course still questions about how stones were cut and how exactly the pyramid was built and so on.

Calling it a "carbon dating thing" implies a lack of understanding of the process. Carbon dating is in fact a highly refined process which can use a very small amount of material to test. And because several different samples would take the dating can be narrowed down very accurately.
