I watched this one last night. I had not heard before about the papyrus that they found with records from its construction. That was pretty cool.I think this week's episode of NOVA is going to be an update on how they built the pyramids. They've done an episode on it before but I think this one is new.
Worth the visit?I've been to Cairo and have seen the pyramids in person. (to answer the thread title)
Is it safe? https://www.apnews.com/324327e5dfa14184a6643d90260f2532I've been to Cairo and have seen the pyramids in person. (to answer the thread title)
Just as safe as anyplace here.
I didn't feel safe when I was there...and I've been all over the world and am a relatively seasoned traveler.
I would definitely do a group tour as there is safety in numbers. I was only able to spend a few days in Cairo when I went and would like to see some of the other sites when/if I go back.Worth the visit?
Ive been looking at some tours. I wish I got into this 5 or 6 years ago. It would have been nice to take a tour with John Anthony West before he passed.
Thanks, thats what Ive read from others but its good to hear from a FBG.I would definitely do a group tour as there is safety in numbers. I was only able to spend a few days in Cairo when I went and would like to see some of the other sites when/if I go back.
The pyramids and the Sphinx are just an amazing experience...so much more impressive in person. Also, the laser show at night is dope and highly recommended.(although probably the most touristy thing imaginable)

It's age is based on the age of the sediment it was found in. Maybe it sank into the sediment or was originally in an ancient crater or crevasse.
Me either. Just found it interesting.It's age is based on the age of the sediment it was found in. Maybe it sank into the sediment or was originally in an ancient crater or crevasse.![]()
<======== Not a scientist.
Seems a bit misleading.. they are claiming an age of the bracelet without dating the bracelet.
That’s how they date all these things. I’m not sure it’s possible to date the actual item.Seems a bit misleading.. they are claiming an age of the bracelet without dating the bracelet.

You’re just playing to your audience, don’t sweat it.I just edited that effing post 4 times and it still reads like a 3rd grader wrote it.![]()
Along with he bracelet they found a few other items including a finger.![]()
Without dating the item, there seems to be about a million more logical ways for it to have gotten there than the one implied. Unless they have found other such items in similar aged sediment around the world corroborating it?
Or even just the area?
Skeptical that such an ancient population could have created such an advanced piece of jewelry, experts tested the soil found around the bracelet using oxygen isotopic analysis and concluded that the latter had been undisturbed by humans since the Denisovan period.
But have you seen the lights go out on Broadway and the Empire State laid low?I've been to Cairo and have seen the pyramids in person. (to answer the thread title)
Undisturbed soil is a good indicator of age. A decent soil scientist can discern whether or not the soil has ever been disturbed, though if it was minimal disturbance thousands of years ago it becomes more difficult.That’s how they date all these things. I’m not sure it’s possible to date the actual item.
Expedition Unknown had an interesting episode about Tiwanku in Bolivia. Although the age of the site is in question.
I don't care how many slaves you throw at it, 65.7 tons is just redonkulous. No Fn way a bunch of hunter gatherers did that #### with mud and logs and rope.The largest stone block within the Akapana, made of andesite, is estimated to weigh 65.7 tonnes
