Description

Great Sphinx is listed as being built (c. 2558–2532 BC)*
Great Pyramid is listed as being built and concluded around (c.2560 BC)*
*Thank you Wikipedia

Definitions:

Currently Accepted: Conventional Egyptologists view as found on Wiki etc.

Credible. This will be in the eye of the judge. The objective is to stay away from technicalities like might, could, possible, maybe. The evidence fro Pro must be significant enough to appear to have merit. Example... I say there is ghost in my house. You say do you have any credible evidence. I present a video that shows a weird orb. That might be credible. The burden is really on Pro to ensure the evidence they present is strong enough to make one say "interesting point." or something like that.

Evidence from Con has to be enough to explain the current model.

Pictures might be required. I will use a service like https://pasteboard.co/ and am open to other suggestions.

You can forfeit a round without penalty.
Please no net new arguments in the last round.
Please sum up your position at the end of each round.
Use comments for clarification,
Use of comments during the debate is encouraged to negotiate how to share pictures etc if needed.

Where is DrSpy? Has not shown up for 2 months. I'm not that interested in shadow boxing, but it appears that is what we have.

Does anyone know if Dr. Spy has abandoned the site? Hasn't been here for a month.

Sorry, forgot to mention: I accept all definitions and debate details. I do not know how to add pictures, so I'll appreciate a primer. I note that we can forfeit one round and, depending on the will of judges, not be penalized, but it appears more than one is automatic forfeiture of the debate. Don't want to risk that; I plan to avoid it completely.

Oh, Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz...
This is such a tempting subject, as I am fluent in New Kingdom hieroglyphs grammar, and as such familiar with the culture, but the former has little to do with architecture, and I am inclined to accept that the dating of these great structures is currently in error. However, my appreciation of the ancient Egyptian civilization is too tempting to refuse, so I'll take this on as a reluctant Con. This will be fun to contradict my own thinking. I'm glad you're allowing a good amount of time for argument; I'll need it! Anything may happen. Thanks, and good luck, my friend.
