Archeology is rife with controversies such as this. Try and argue with an Egyptologist/Archeologist that the pyramids and Sphinx are older than they accept. I have, and despite giving them the evidence showing this, it's like talking to a brick wall. Plenty of others, including other geologist like myself, have tried to explain to them why we believe the pyramids (the three at Giza, in this case) are as old as we reckon they are (based on sound and reasonable scientific grounds), but they just won't accept what we've told them. They won't even consider having those ideas tested, for fear testing might "ruin" and do damage to the monuments. That's the biggest load of crock I've ever heard. You hardly need to intrude on the structures of the monuments to get what's needed to determine their ages.

Is this the theory that claims the Sphinx and Giza pyramids were constructed during a period of time when Egypt had a wetter climate say 8000-10000 years ago?
