Acording to some who answered in my last questions, it was stated that Noah's global flood is believed to have occured between the years 2657 - 2300 bce. it is also believed that the flood was powerful enough to carve geological features such as America's Grand Canyon.
If that is to be believed, how do literalists explain Ancient Egypt?
*There is no disruption in their recorded civilization.
*There is no disruption in the Dynastic records of the Egyptian Pharaohs
*Construction of the first Pyramid at the Giza complex commenced in 2630 bce
*The height of pyramid construction was between 2500 - 2400 bce
If a Great Flood wiped out the Earth's population and carved canyons, why was the Egyptian civilization un phased, unintereupted and how did the Pyrimids survive when the flood thousands of Cubic miles of Earh in the Grand Canyon?
I'm just wondering how you reconcile that.

I asked literalists for a date of the flood:

Some seem to think the flood happened between 2500 - 2300 bce:

If my dates are wrong, provide me with new dates.
NIjg: I know you say 3500-3000, but you seem to be the only one, I had to go with the majority. But the argument would be the same.

nijg: I'd also add this isn't a matter of carbon dating. These dates were extrapolated from Egyptian records well before radio metric dating was discovered.

According to your own information it happened some time BETWEEN 2657 and 2300 BC. Well it didnt last for 200 years, it was less than one year. So it could have occured at 2657 BC and the pyramids began being built at 2630 BC.

I could imagine Phoenix Wright yelling 'OBJECTION!' and pointing this out.
After that would come the part where the prosecutor breaks down and confesses.

The flood took place way before the time you posted.

God bought Pharaoh a really big tarp back when they were still on speaking terms.

I'd say flood is between 3500 BC and 3000 BC, but if what you say is true, which I'm not saying it isn't, but if it is, that means the scientist people have very bad carbon testing techniques.

They don't exist. All the workers died in the flood.
