Brothers of the SerpentMay 12, 2026

In this episode, Randall examines a paper that utilizes erosion patterns on the Great Pyramid to propose a new dating methodology for its construction. By comparing erosion on stones that were previously protected by casing stones to those exposed to the elements, a timeline for the pyramid's age is suggested. The discussion also links these findings to catastrophic flooding in the Nile Valley, particularly regarding the Sphinx and its surrounding enclosure walls.
