Shocking Discovery Claims Great Pyramid of Giza May Be 20,000 Years Older—Rewriting History as We Know It!
Donini noted that erosion occurs by several means. Water is a major source, from runoff dripping onto surfaces to trickles of liquid seeping into small cracks, freezing, and expanding. Wind blowing rough sand from Egypt’s desert also wore down the limestone over time, as did temperature fluctuations, acid rain, and surface wear from humans touching and walking on the surfaces.
There were several factors that Domini took into account while making his calculations. First, he acknowledged that there’s been an increase in foot traffic in the modern era, leading to more surface erosion in recent years than in ancient times. There’s also likely been more acid rain since the Industrial Revolution. These elements could lead to an underestimation of the Great Pyramid’s age.
Alternatively, the climate was wetter in ancient times, so more rain then could have led to faster erosion rates than those seen in the past few centuries. This, in turn, could lead to an overestimation of the monument’s age.
With all this in mind, Domini developed a mathematical formula for REM. He then selected 12 points around the Great Pyramid’s base to analyze, aiming to compare two areas of erosion from the same stone block. “The arithmetic means of these 12 values represents the earliest probable estimate for the age of the Pyramid of Khufu,” Domini wrote.

The results? The Great Pyramid of Giza could be 25,000 years old.
If Domini’s method is accurate, the pyramid potentially could have been built around 23000 B.C.E. — a staggering 20,000 years before its currently accepted age.
“On the basis of this preliminary report on relative erosion measurements,” Domini wrote, “it can be concluded that around 20,000 years before Christ there existed a civilization in Egypt capable of constructing at least the Khufu Pyramid.”
Of course, his findings are controversial. Other archaeologists have pointed out that erosion rates are extremely variable and unreliable for linear models. The study has also not yet undergone peer review, so it remains to be seen if his Relative Erosion Method is scientifically sound.
However, if it is, Domini may have just rewritten the entire history of ancient Egypt.
