hard archaeologist lid screwed to the 3000 b.c. starting point of the civilization can't accept otherwise?
No, because the original hoaxer admitted the hoax.
What else do you want?

There cannot possibly be any "5,000 year old monastery records" in existence in China.
so, what are you saying. the textbook is never wrong..?
and, therefore, these reports of 5,000yr old monastery records (..making them now the oldest, obviously), can be dismissed out of hand because of
such..?
Let me ask you this, then.
Where are these "ancient monastery records?"
Are you saying that every single Archaeologist that accepts that Sumerian Cuneiform is the earliest form of writing ever found is wrong?

At the risk of being called "anal" by liv074_v.2, I have to disagree with you here.
There was not a single pyramid in existence in 5,000 B.C...
you've seen the detailed archaeological findings by impartial professionals (regarding these pyramids, and their age)..??
may we see them..?
of course, again, we cant have them being 4 or 500 years or so older than the present accepted concensus, can we.
dismissed, out of hand.
More like
2400 years "or so." The fact is, even Egyptologists will allow a little wiggle room on the
exact date of construction at
Giza. Current theories differ by as much as 150 years.
There exist relics, discovered by Archaeologists, in Egypt from the time period around 5,000 B.C. (and earlier.)
The forerunners of the Egyptians from this time period did not construct temples, homes, or other buildings, from cut stone.
This is known, whether you know it or not, and whether you
prefer to believe it or not.

Harte
was there 'a time' when it seems..
that the earliest civilisations, however seperate from each other,
went about building pyramids;
many of such size and quality,
..that they would suppass anything built ever since..?
seemingly, was there..?
Actually, no there was not. Like I said.
There are other structures on Earth that date from around the time of the Giza pyramids, but these are not pyramids.
The Mesoamerican pyramids were built
over a thousand years after the Egyptian ones. During a time when even the Egyptians no longer remembered
how their forefathers had constructed the Giza pyramids.
There aren't any other pyramids. There are mounds of earth. Mound-building predates the pyramid-building era of Egypt, this too is well known and
researched.
If you wish to call a dirt mound a "pyramid," then you and I are discussing two very different structures.
