Robert M. Schoch is an American geologist and academic with an especial interest in pyramid monuments around the world. He is a professor of general studies at Boston University.

Schoch redated the famous monument to 7000– 5000 BC in 1991, though mainstream Egyptology and three other geologists have rejected his analysis. Namely K. Lal Gauri, Alex Bordeaux and Mike Harrell. Schoch has written three books. He has recently teamed up with new age crop circle advocate Colette M. Dowell. ...more on Wikipedia about "Robert M. Schoch"
