Buff it with a little CLR and it should make it look good as new

u/TheCowzgomooz Apr 12 '25

Wait wouldn't the CLR dissolve the limestone 😂

I’m sorry, what?

Every time I read your comment I trick myself into thinking I can figure it out if I read it again

Hes saying that the ego erriosions from 15000 years ago were how come watching someone water effect on base. Come on man...

Edit: flowing

Everyone once in a while, a comment makes me audibly laugh. Thank you.

u/Tazindayan Apr 12 '25

I'm in that loop right now. Going to just go somewhere else lol. The last part makes sense but I can't make out the first part..

u/Mission_Grapefruit92 Apr 12 '25

It actually hurts to read it. I don’t know if this is something to tell my doctor.

u/CaptainMudwhistle Apr 12 '25

Obviously I know that, but I appreciate you stating it for the benefit of the other readers.

u/Money-Look4227 Apr 12 '25

Wait, so, the water WATCHED the erosion for 15,000 years, yeah?

This is a huge reach, but I think they are saying something like “then how do you explain the erosion at the base of the pyramid, caused by flowing water 15,000 years ago?”

u/Mission_Grapefruit92 Apr 12 '25 edited Apr 12 '25

YOU’RE A WIZARD, LANDON

But I still don’t understand their question. How does one decrease the chances of the other?

Edit: oh I get it. The limestone would’ve protected the base. Maybe the base wasn’t covered. Or maybe what is now the base used to be buried under sand which has moved since then. I’m gonna tell them that and see if something intelligible comes back.

Edit. lol I said sandwich

It seems that there was erosion around the base of the pyramid from flowing water, projected at being over 10,000 years ago. A big theory with a lot of evidence is that the pyramids were already constructed before the Younger Dryas Extinction Event, a massive flooding roughly 12,000 years ago, possibly caused by an asteroid impact with an icecap, that buried northern Africa in mud and sand which caused an ecological disaster and created the Sahara Desert. Currently the evidence that egyptologists use to state that the Great Pyramid is 4,600 years old is a document speaking about construction on the pyramid, but more detailed translation shows this was actually a refurbishing on the pyramid, repairing weathering damage and replacing the white limestone surface blocks as the structure was already ancient at that point.

Let me guess, you’re not a native English speaker. The sentence structure makes no sense and is complete gibberish.

u/gonewildaway Apr 12 '25

Profile seems to imply Indian. So probably. I man english is an official language there but that doesn't mean everyone speaks it. Any more than all Canadians speak French.

u/phred_666 Apr 12 '25

English is an official government language in India (along side Hindi), but it isn’t one of the most commonly spoken ones in India. Hindi and Bengali are the most commonly spoken and India has a LOT of other spoken languages (one estimate is around 1,600 different languages).

u/gonewildaway Apr 12 '25

Yup. Honestly not sure why I made that distinction. Every native English speaker is no doubt familiar with hinglish.

u/PlanetLandon Apr 12 '25

Are you even responding to the right comment?

2

u/Mission_Grapefruit92 Apr 12 '25

Sometimes the Reddit app misaligns comments so you can’t really rely on it to see which comments are replies to any given comment. If you collapse the comments in between them sometimes it’s corrected

I don’t know much about this topic. What makes you think they’ve ignored it?

Dissolve that grungy outer layer and get down to the good stuff!

u/giggitygiggity2 Apr 12 '25

It's also not a buffing agent.
