The video cites an Italian REM analysis by Alberto Denini comparing erosion on the Great Pyramid's limestone with surfaces exposed by the 1303 Crete earthquake. It says the 11-point analysis produced a proposed mean estimate near 25,000 years, with some estimates close to 40,000. The video argues that this falls within a roughly 25,920-year precessional Great Year. That ancient-date and Great Year interpretation belongs to the presenter, not the REM analysis; the Great Pyramid is conventionally dated to about 2600 BCE, around 4,500 years ago. 🧱🔬
Video argues an erosion analysis dates the Great Pyramid to 25,000 years

Key facts
- The video credits Italian engineer Alberto Denini with developing the Relative Erosion Method and conducting the cited 11-point analysis.
- The reference earthquake occurred in 1303 and dislodged casing stones from the Great Pyramid; the post's unqualified "675-year-old" description obscures that absolute date.
- The video says the analysis produced a proposed mean estimate near 25,000 years, with some estimates close to 40,000.
- The connection to a roughly 25,920-year precessional Great Year is the video presenter's interpretation, not a conclusion of the erosion analysis.
- The Great Pyramid was built around 2600 BCE during Khufu's reign, roughly 4,500 years ago; 25,000 years is a proposed estimate, not an established construction date.
