The 38,000-Year Theory

The Precession of Earth's Axis

Like a slowly decelerating spinning top, the Earth wobbles on its axis. This wobble - precession - takes approximately 25,800 years for a complete cycle.

[Precession Cycle] As the Earth wobbles, the stars shift relative to our vantage point. Today's Pole Star was not always the Pole Star. And the constellations that rise at the winter solstice change through the millennia.

This means: the same star configuration repeats. Every 25,800 years, the stars stand exactly as before.

The Star Alignment of Giza

[Bauval] In 1994, Robert Bauval published his Orion Correlation Theory. He noticed that the three pyramids of Giza reflect the three belt stars of Orion - not only in their arrangement, but also in their relative size and brightness.

But Bauval went further. He calculated: the perfect alignment - when the pyramids lay exactly beneath the Orion belt - did not occur at the time of the pharaohs.

It occurred around 10,500 BCE.

Mainstream Egyptology rejects this dating. The pyramids were built around 2,500 BCE - there is clear archaeological evidence for this.

But here comes the decisive point...

One Cycle Back

Precession is cyclical. This means: the configuration of 10,500 BCE is not unique. It repeats.

Let's calculate:

The pyramids do not just "click" into the same cosmic channel every 25,800 years - they could have been built for any of these time points.

The question is not: Were they built for 10,500 BCE?

The question is: For which cycle were they built?

The Erosion Evidence of the Sphinx

[Schoch] This is where Robert Schoch enters - a geologist from Boston University. In 1991, he presented a thesis that shook Egyptology.

The Sphinx shows vertical erosion channels.

Not the horizontal spalling you would expect from wind abrasion. But deep, vertical channels - typical of rain water erosion.

The problem: the Sahara has been a desert for about 5,000 years. Before that - during the "Green Sahara" period - there was sufficient precipitation. But this period ended long before the conventional dating of the Sphinx.

Schoch's conclusion: the Sphinx must be at least 7,000 - 9,000 years old to explain these erosion patterns. Possibly older.

If the Sphinx is older than thought - why not the pyramids as well?

The Implications

The 38,000-year theory is not proven. It is based on:

1. The cyclical nature of precession
2. The Orion correlation (disputed)
3. The Sphinx erosion (also disputed)
4. The assumption that monuments were built for astronomical alignments

But if it were true, then...

Frozen Oscillation

If the RBI theory is correct - if the pyramids were a frequency system - then the 38,000-year theory makes even more sense. A system tuned to cosmic cycles would need to be calibrated for a specific precession angle.

Not for one age. For all ages in which this angle returns.

What We Don't Know

Let's be honest: this theory has massive gaps.

• No direct evidence for an age of 38,000 years
• The Orion correlation is not generally accepted
• Schoch's erosion analysis is disputed
• There are no artifacts or writings from this period

But precession itself is a fact. The repetition of star configurations is a fact. And the question remains:

If the pyramids were built for a specific star alignment - which one was it?
