IMOHO, this is a large part of why creationism teaches the world is 6,000 years old. Such claims exist specifically to exclude our history which teaches us who we are and where we come from. If you believe the world is 6,000 years old, you're forced to exclude much of ancient history and the true origins of man and our impact upon the world.

technically it's 6000 years from whenever it was read, so in 2000 years, a huge chunk will be removed of history because the window keeps moving up, if that makes sense. Now part of me has a hard time understanding Genesis because its not clear how a day could have formed if the concept of a day was not delineated until after the earth was created, especially given that a day as a representation of time wasn't really a thing until way way later

Exactly right. The word used actually means "a unit of time." It does not actually define which unit is used. The word is so vague it can mean any span of time from one second to infinity. If the earth did not exist, you can't measure the span of a day of revolution let alone a year of orbit. Anyone telling us it means a literal seven days, IMOHO, is a mouth breathing moron.

It clearly means some nebulous span of time like era or epoch.

Then God said, ‘Let there be light’; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.”

It plainly reads it's a metaphor and not a literal 24 hours. As we've just established, there can't be 24 hours as there is no orbital period from which to derive. It's a metaphor for day (daylight) and night (darkness). This took part during the first epoch of time.

“Then God said, ‘Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.’ Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second Day [Epoch].”

If we substitute for what it says in the first epoch, it reads:

“Then God said, ‘Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.’ Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second Epoch of light.”

Again, it clearly draws upon the metaphor established in the first epoch. So on and so on...

Interesting I have never thought of it like that.

Standard jew tricks. Indeed.

If you think about it, what do jews define as slave? Per our current year kikes, nothing short of living in lavish luxury would account for not being a slave. Heck, per the kikes, not enslaving the rest of humanity also makes them slaves. Which makes one wonder just how accurate Exodus can really be, given the jewish subversion tactics and wild outlandish story telling

Even in the new testament, slaves were basically employees

The pyramids were built over 12 thousand years ago, the Egyptians occupied them and carved heiroglyphs onto the existing structures. The pyramids are components of a large machine from the megolythic age.

Stone hedge was build in the 50’s. There’s black and white photos going around with cranes and other things. They’re not that old. Hoaxed

Stone henge was re built on the early 1900s all the stones now have concrete footings under them.
