He talks about geological features that can be estimated 10,000 years old.
And then adds the statement that it may even be 100,000 years old, with no clear evidence for that.
That could be one of the Ancient Aliens timelines.

But nowhere in the video or article I see a statement about 800,000 years.

The conspiracy here is that earth's real history is hidden and buried and straight up destroyed by shadowy people and groups like the smithsonian

One thing that is obvious to me is that there are no hieroglyphs or records of the pyramids being made... I mean, c'mon
Egyptians made records of how much food they were harvesting and trading, etc, but nothing about the pyramids... uuhhh yeaah. ok.

The Ancient Sumerians had complete bullshit technology. Maybe even "spaceships."

This is an old theory.

The idea is that the Sphinx must have been eroded by rain fall but Egypt has been dry for a very long time.

However the same pattern can be explained by sand storms which are common.

Basically scientists tried to apply what they knew about wet northern weather effects on rocks to a hot, dry country with very different weather.

The great pyramids have barely made it ~5000 years; unless the sphinx was completely 100% buried in sand for 795000 years there's no way it wouldn't have been looted or even just dismantled for materials for other construction in the area

You are assuming that the pyramids are only 5000 years old. That is a stupid assumption, since there is no real evidence to suggest that. There is only the word of the known liars in Egypt that call themselves Egyptologists.
