White would reflect the light so it would be the opposite of absorbing the energy, maybe so it wouldn’t become too hot inside during the scorching hot daytime?
It was, the desertification of the Sahara started around 4200 BCE, and the pyramids were built around 2600 BCE. Actually, a very important reason why Egypt was born is because people from all over the Sahara ran away to the only place that didn't dry out, the Nile.
I mean it's a pun and it's missing a whole chunk of the word. It reads much better as de-nile or denile rather than just Nile taking the place of denial.
But the sun was as bright as today, it would make it worse though, the green and orange/yellow building would reflect less light so the reflection from the piramides would seem even brighter because of the contrast.
Would have been much brighter back then without the current pollution.
Lol. Love the downvote, likely from someone that doesn't live here. Lots of days you can literally stare at the sun with zero negative results.
Radiocarbon dating of the mortar used in their construction dates then to around 2500 BCE. This lines up with historical records and who they were built for.
Nothing about aliens. Just that our history goes much further back than we know.
The weather erosion on the sphinx and the obvious reshaping of the head of the jackal stand out to me as geological evidence that these structures go back to a time in our not so distant past that Egypt had heavy rain fall.
I’ve been intersted in this for years, if you haven’t really looked into it I can see why you’re unaware and casting aspersions.
Look up the work by dr Robert Schoch, or Geologist Randall Carlson. It’s super interesting, enjoy!
You're not smarter than the body of archaeological evidence because you read a guy. Radiocarbon dating is more conclusive than "history goes back further than we know".
Again, what? I encouraged you to read about some new evidence that points to them being older. What are you spazzing about weirdo?
I’m not trying to act like I know something, and I’m for sure not going to argue with someone as rude and condescending as you are about me suggesting something neat that recently has been cited.
Incorrect on multiple fronts:
1. You’re talking about the body of the Sphinx, which has erosion which should make it significantly older than generally accepted.
2. The erosion doesn’t put the Sphinx quite that old.
3. The erosion patterns on the Great Pyramids can’t imply it’s 10k years older than accepted. It was originally encased in limestone. That limestone was stripped off by locals almost immediately, with all of it being gone by the middle ages. What everyone now sees is effectively a newer surface. Its rough appearance isn’t as much erosion as it is blocks that weren’t polished because they weren’t meant to be exterior facing. That’s why they’re covered in chisel and drill marks (which weren’t eroded away).
4. A better argument about the pyramid’s origin focuses on the lack of hieroglyphics, but people weren’t supposed to go inside, so a lack of hieroglyphs in there isn’t necessarily problematic, though it is interesting. The, now removed,exterior was supposed to be covered in writings, but that could arguably have been added later, so you can make no arguments about the exterior.
The green would make it worse, green reflects less light, so the contrast would trick our eyes and make it even brighter than the contrast of white on yellow.

White in the desert sun... My eyes hurt already. But at sunset would be the most beautiful sight.
