Part 6/10:
The history surrounding the pursuit of radiocarbon dating within the pyramids is marred by alternative archaeology. A case in point is an initiative funded by Edgar Cayce's organization in 1984, which sought to test samples from various Egyptian sites. These investigations primarily yielded wood fragments that contradicted the expected pharaonic timeline—placing the Great Pyramid's construction closer to 3000 BC rather than the anticipated 2500 BC.
In the years that followed, renewed interest prompted further testing in 1995, again financed by external stakeholders. Insufficient attention was given to the recently uncovered wooden structures within the Bent Pyramid, further complicating our understanding of this grand architectural feature.
