Carbon dating of Great Pyramid shows 250-300 year discrepancy with conventional chronology

Carbon dating at the Great Pyramid produces results that some researchers argue differ from conventional written-record chronology by roughly 800 years or more. A University of Aberdeen study dated wood from the Great Pyramid to 3341-3094 CalBC, compared to the conventional date of approximately 2560 BCE for Khufu's pyramid. The discrepancy, discussed in scholarly literature for decades, involves questions about calibration methods and chronological alignment. Egyptian chronology relies on written records and astronomical observations. While radiocarbon dating generally supports Egypt's historical framework according to some studies, debates continue about how to reconcile different dating approaches and what implications specific discrepancies might have for accepted timelines. Some scholars have argued that methodological choices in dating analysis warrant further examination.
