What we must understand is that since then he has “refined” his estimate:

http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread1278401/pg2#pid25641177

“. . . my interpretation and refinement of the data presented to us by the Giza Stellar Time Line (the Lehner-Goedicke Line), is under constant review and subject to refinement . . .”

His refinement is subject to refinement. I hope that’s clear. Note also that speculative and tendentious interpretations are now “data”.

“My latest ca. 10,000 BCE date is, of course, still more than double the age of the cedar wood from the Queen's Chamber shaft and perhaps three times the age of the average age given from the earlier studies in the 1980s and 90s. These earlier C14 studies didn't affect my view that the Old Kingdom pyramids are far older than those early C14 studies suggested and this latest finding does not alter my view on that. . . .”

He has a view on it. First I’ve noticed. My impression was that he’s vacillated wildly on this question.

So, he’s refined his refinement to the tune of dropping 7,000 years from it, which is not enough not to leave the problem of the date of the wood, so the rest follows the Hancock paradigm of special pleading, sorry, principled doubts, about ¹⁴C dating in general, which of course were much in evidence when he thought that Görlitz and Erdmann had a ¹⁴C date for one of the aper names.

We even get the tired old ploy of a dig at Hawass, doubtless intended to fill us with nostalgia for the days when he was still in charge.
