Edgar Cayce Foundation funded 1984 Giza expedition - results averaged ~374 years older than conventional dates for 3rd-5th dynasty. 1995 Koch Foundation-funded follow-up refined estimates ~100-200 years older than 1984 results. Khufu and Khafre dates spread ~400 years across both projects. More data produced worse alignment with written records, not better. 📜
