The Great Sphinx is more than 12,000 years old., page 2

The sphinx's head is completely dispraportionate in size to the rest of the body especially when you take into account the weathering effects that have taken place on its body/torso. For such an advanced culture you think they would get that right. To me its obvious that tha egyptians re-carved the head to suit. You obviously dont want a large statue depicting any other god than yourself! I have seen many BBC programs stating just this.

Great post! This stuff is very interesting and yet i findit difficult to understand the mentality of the geologists who refuse to believe these amazing cultural relics can be that old!

for the most part its good ol' dogma

Dogma is the established belief or doctrine held by a religion, ideology or any kind of organization: it is authoritative and not to be disputed, doubted or diverged from. The term derives from Greek δόγμα "that which seems to one, opinion or belief"[1] and that from δοκέω (dokeo), "to think, to suppose, to imagine".[2] The plural is either dogmas or dogmata , from Greek δόγματα.

Your best bet to changing the consensus on the history of Egypt is to find some real hard evidence and then explain why all the existing evidence is wrong or misinterpreted.

That my friends will take a lot of work.

Wishing away the existing evidence and blaming make beleive conspiracies won't help you.

I would point to two examples:

Norse sagas relating to the Norse in America, from the 1880s to the 1960 these were debated fiercely. The debated ended with the discovery of L'Anse aux Meadows

Thompson domination of Mayan archaeology and the idea of peaceful Mayan civilization - overturned by the decoding of the Mayan script.

Evidence folks evidence

I've been studying all the new evidence on the Giza plateau for a number of years now. Everything that has been discovered is truely remarkable and completely blows egyptologists 'theories' out of the water. Pity they're too busy trying to keep the egypt tourist attraction thing alive, whats been discovered should have massive implications on history like nothing ever has or will.
Have a look, if you will, at what this man has discovered the Great Pyramid was for. It certainly was never ever a tomb, nor were ANY of the 80+ pyramids in egypt. Not a single one contained a corpse EVER. This is what the Great Pyramid was used for :- www.gizapower.com...

well heres some supporting evidence

Conspiracy theories aside.. do you think even if hard evidence was discovered that it would become mainstream knowledge and therefor fact? I realise that statement in itself sounds like a conspiracy theory but i find it hard to believe scientists would just lie down and say "wow, your right, it is older". Imagine all the research money and grants that they have been given being considered a waste! It may even effect large institutions like universities giving grants in the future; unwilling to waste their money.

Just a theory.

I remember watching that robot go up the corridor live and being very dissapointed at the end. Im going to have good look at that website when i get the chance. Its a thread on its own!

Evidence folks evidence

I agree with you, Hanslune,


I found this article that describes a debate between two scientists:

www.davidpbillington.net...


As far as I can tell:

1) The Great Sphinx was covered with sand for 4/5ths of its existence. This is supported by evidence.

2) The Great Spinx displays significant rain-based erosion on its flanks. This is supported by evidence.

3) No rainfall was recorded until around 10,000BC, when that time was the last time that rain fell and the Great Spinx shows thousands of years of erosion. This is supported by evidence.

4) I had a verbal conversation with someone who knew a lot about the Great Sphinx and he related a story -- I'm looking for it on the net -- about some pictures that were taken of the flanks of the Great Spinx and he showed them to a number of hydrological mineralogists and most of them estimated that the rock appeared to show several thousand years of rain-based erosion. I don't know how accurate this story is and I'm looking for it on the net and I do understand that the rate of erosion and the total time span of the exposed rocks are key variables, so I don't know how much stock that one can put into this little anecdote.

5) Keep in mind that virtually NO rain fell after 10,000BC, or at least, very, very little rain fell after that date and certainly not enough to generate significant erosion that is typical of tropical rains.

6) The Great Sphinx was added on, patched-over and fiddled with over the years -- but that was AFTER it had the rain-based erosion, hence the different rates of wear and tear that is apparent today.

Man, Bunkered, your "theory" is SPOT-ON! It is a well-established FACT that the biggest reason why mainstream science resists SO strongly the alternative scientific information is exactly what you point out -- the fact of their grants, their money, their careers going down the drain if they were to recognize the new science, the new facts that totally turn their worlds upside down.


A star for you, Bunkered!

Some more interesting background info that cannot be leaved out
