Hello Maddogskull,

New evidence says the pyramid was made in 2470 B.C, according to new research. What are your views on this??? Why would the egyptians build a sphinx thats supposedly around 5000BC then the pyramids thousands of years later???? Wasen't the sphinx supppose to guard the pyramids? What do you guys think about this????


SC: The C14 dating of the carbon within the gypsum mortar of the GP supports (within a few hundred years) the orthodox dating for the construction of the Great Pyramid. Some, however, hold that such carbon was merely the result of repair work by Khufu to the Great Pyramid. What I personally find curious is that the wooden beams within the descending passage of the GP and within the chambers of the Red Pyramid and Meidum have not been tested. Certainly the wooden beams in the chambers of the Red and at Meidum could have been replaced in recent times but not the beam in the descending passage of the Great Pyramid since there is simply no turning room - this beam was set in place during construction. As far as I am presently aware, none of these wooden beams have ever been C14 dated or, if they have, the results have never been made public.

As for the Sphinx - there is a growing view among geologists and others that the Sphinx does indeed predate the Pyramids at Giza. By how much, however, is open to question.

The famous Inventory Stelle tells us that "Khufu ordered the construction of a monument to the length of the Sphinx". Okay - the Inventory Stelle post-dates Khufu by some 2,000 years and many orthodox folks regard it as unreliable on the basis that it was written long after the events it describes. This does not, however, prevent the very same folks from holding up the partial inscription of Khafre's name on the Dream Stelle as proof of Khafre's hand in constructing the Sphinx, even though this was written about 1,000 years after the events it describes. It seems that 1,000 years is acceptable but 2,000 years is not. Go figure.

(BTW - a curious fact of the length of the Great Pyramid is that it is precisely 3.14 (Pi) x the length of the Sphinx).

Now, further evidence in support that the Sphinx predates the Giza Pyramids comes from the very conservative Geologist, Colin Reader, who writes:

When considered in terms of the hydrology of the site, the distribution of degradation within the Sphinx enclosure indicates that the excavation of the Sphinx and the original construction of the Sphinx temple, pre-date Khufu's early Fourth Dynasty development at Giza. The spatial relationships between "Khafre's" causeway, the Sphinx and Khufu's quarries provides additional evidence that the causeway and the Sphinx were constructed some time before Khufu's quarrying began. The prominent location and close association of the Proto-mortuary temple with the causeway indicates that this structure may have also formed part of the early development of the site. –
‘Khufu Knew the Sphinx’


"...the casueway and the Sphinx were constructed some time before Khufu's quarrying began..." (Emphasis mine). How much "some time" actually was is anyone's guess.

Hope this is of some interest to you.

Best wishes,

Scott Creighton

lol evidence, they just added up some dates and looked at star charts - thats no better than the creationlists!

Basically it's well known, they even say so in the article, that one power group would take over and change the records to make the others look bad, sometimes totally smashing the glyphs off temples and pulling down statues 'dissapearing' the family in a soviet russian style.

How could this be even close to being right? I'm kinda suspect that this is politically motivated, maybe its from the no black pharoes gang? too hard to tell.

well good work for them coming up with a possible date, i suppose science can always add and subtract new kings and expand or shorten the reigns if we ever find more conclusive data - if not then i guess it's all guess work untill we invent the quantum timetravel cameras which will oneday bring history alive for us

Well of course they are. Didn't you know, anyone who questions the mainstream is immediately right, and hte zanier their assertions, the more right they are!

I would like to believe that, but wouldn't they already of found the peices that some how got destroyed??? If what you stated is true, wouldn't they have some kind of writing,pictures somewhere around the ancient civilization showing the destruction of the sphinx?

This new evidence refers to a Pharaoh Kfuhu who himself wrote that he entered the great pyramid (and thats known and confirmed by egyptology) to gain knowledge, he also wrote that he renovated the pyramid.

You need to understand the underlying thread, Egyptians pride themselves on being the first to achieve such greatness, its not the first time that Egyptian archeologists make bombastic sensationalist statements that are made to cover the fear that permeats the egyptian academic society, that pyramids were not built by Egyptians.

Thats of course rubbish, the Pyramids were built by Egyptians but the year is more like 10000 B.C.

As the sphinx is older, that was probably never the intention. Anyway, it seems like the sphinx was not a cat after all. It may originally have been much bigger and may have looked like
Anubis. The proportions of the sphinx body is "wrong" the way it looks now, a small head and a long body. It may have been damaged by an earthquake or something, and then turned into the sphinx we know today.


plus if the Sphinx was carved from a huge rock, that rock may have been sitting there for a million years before it was carved/shaped. so of course it would have erosion as oppossed to the Pyramids which were built brick by brick so to speak.
