Great Pyramid 'code' claim sparks debate over ancient knowledge

Independent researcher Sefy Levy argues the Great Pyramid encodes a hidden numerical system tied to lunar cycles and celestial movements, suggesting the monument was designed to preserve advanced knowledge (math, astronomy) for eternity rather than merely commemorating Khufu. The theory hinges on parsing pyramid measurements with ancient Egyptian fractions and linking them to numbers like 27.5, 70, pi and phi; it was tested against 100,000 computer-model pyramids, with about 2.4% matching, but there is no peer‑reviewed evidence, and the idea sits among other pyramid conspiracy theories.

Post intern debunks McConnell ‘proof of life’ photo with metadata and forensics

A Washington Post intern examined Mitch McConnell’s viral “proof of life” photo showing the paper’s sports section and found metadata dated the image to a Sunday, debunking claims it was years old or AI-generated. Digital forensics expert Hany Farid said there is no evidence of AI manipulation and that the visible newspaper and lighting are consistent with the day’s sports section. McConnell, who has been out of public view since June 14 after a fall and a bout with pneumonia, says he’s recovering in rehab and plans to retire next year; he is not seeking reelection.
