[Lavazza]

Perhaps the 1,500 year discrepancy is, in part at least, explained by this quote from Ra, given in the first post of this thread:

The first, the Great Pyramid, was formed approximately 6,000 of your years ago. Then, in sequence, after this performing by thought of the building or architecture of the Great Pyramid using the more, shall we say, local or earthly material rather than thought-form material to build other pyramidal structures. This continued for approximately 1,500 of your years.

Not sure about the discrepancy between Ra and Cayce, but they do both indicate contact approximately 11,000 years ago.

Back to this fascinating topic.

So we have the coinciding and harmonious data between Ra and modern archaeology on the date, if we only use Ra's indirect information. Ra's coordinated the appearance of the great pyramid with the lifetime of Imhotep (he lived approximately 2650-2600 BC according to wikipedia, or 4660 BP), and archaeologists have given us approximately 2560 BC for the great pyramid, or 4570 BP. Due to the nature of trying to determine the exact age of things, I'm willing to overlook the 100 year discrepancy.

The confusion comes in when Ra says directly that the great pyramid was built 6000 years ago, which would be around 3990 BC. I'll have to conclude for now at least, that Ra made a mistake in calculating the year of the great pyramid's construction. That, or, as βαθμιαίος indicated perhaps there is something to the 1500 year 'construction period' that Ra spoke of. What if Ra built a pyramid other than the great pyramid 6000 years ago with thought, and then the Egyptians continued on with the construction of other pyramids afterwards for 1500 years, which included the great pyramid? That would at least help explain this: http://www.archaeology.org/0705/etc/pyramid.html

Does anyone here know more about the other pyramids in Egypt, when they were built and so forth? (fun stuff!)
