Compelling evidence, but if the aliens who built the pyramids brought in mortar from another planet, the isotopic ratios could be totally different. So the date of the pyramids could be anything really if we throw out Occam’s razor and rationality in general.

could you please highlight where you think the poster threw out Occam's razor? Probing the mortar seems to be to be a reasonable proxy for the age of the construction?

I read that comment as a sarcastic response to the "we don't know the Great Pyramid's age" claim, rather than a disagreement with my mortar post.
