The Wadi el-Jarf Papyri are the only direct documentary evidence linking the Great Pyramid’s construction to Khufu’s reign, making their authenticity paramount. The lack of dust on the papyri, despite 4,500 years in a sealed gallery with expected ceiling erosion and seismic activity, strongly suggests recent placement, supporting a forgery hypothesis.
“It is impossible to reflect on the changed state of the American continent without the deepest astonishment. Formerly it must have swarmed with great monsters: now we find mere pigmies, compared with the antecedent, allied races. What, then, has exterminated so many species and whole genera? The mind at first is irresistibly hurried into the belief of some great catastrophe; but thus to destroy animals, both large and small, in Southern Patagonia, in Brazil, on the Cordillera of Peru, in North America up to Behring’s Straits, we must shake the entire framework of the globe.” – Charles Darwin
“So it must be that in the cosmic crisis there is widespread destruction of living creatures other than man and that only a remnant of the human race survives. Many strange new experiences befall this remnant, but there is one of deeper import than all. It follows on God’s first taking over the rewinding of the universe, at the moment when the revolution counter to the one now prevalent begins to operate.” – The Statesman, Plato (~360 BCE)
