just out of pure quriosity does anyone know in what age this 800.000 years ago would represent it self in old hindu timeline

Hindu time


Our current date

Currently, 50 years of Brahma have elapsed and we are in the first Day of the 51st year. This Brahma's day, Kalpa, is named as ShvetaVaraha Kalpa. Within this Day, six Manvantaras have already elapsed and we are in the seventh Manhavatara, named as - Vaivasvatha Manvantara. Within the Vaivasvatha Manavantara, 27 Mahayugas (4 Yugas together is a Mahayuga), and the Krita, Treta and Dwapara Yugas of the 28th Mahayuga have elapsed. We are in the Kaliyuga of the 28th Mahayuga. This Kaliyuga began in the year 3102 BC in the proleptic Julian Calendar. Since 50 years of Brahma have already elapsed, we are in the second Parardha, also called as Dvithiya Parardha.


there is usualy some story or concept behind all the time periods , so just out of quriosoty wonder what time they spoke of then.


edit ,

after a quick read it could have been built in the early years of dvapara yuga or later years of treta yuga

the later years of treta yuga spoke of some sort of golden age "ramas kingdom or Rama-rajya

and on dvapara yuga wiki had this quote that should make the "6k earth" people happy *joke joke* ,


The living and moral standard of the people overall in the Dvapara Yuga drops immensely from the Treta Yuga. The average life expectancy of humans begins to fall to only 1,000 years in this era because of neglect of the Varnashram, Vedas and Yagyas.


dvapara ended February 17, 3102 BC/BCE and had its start some 864,000 years earlier

one should probobly read the whole stories to get context out of it ,

hope i didnt derail to much

but if natural erosion shows us that the buildings are 800k old and civilization only began to show up 10k+ years ago ,

a few question arises and that is what happened between that 800k and 10k and where is the rest of these monuments , are these the only thing/s left of some civilization pre "modern man" or are there more ?

did you read my first post in this thread?

the word "sphinx" comes from the word "sphingo", which means "to join"...

the Sphinx is a representation of the zodiac's Leo and Virgo, which is where they join together to form the beginning and end of the astrological cycle.

the Sphinx was built to symbolize what was said in my earlier post in this thread:

you're VERY close with that explanation there!

i wish the truth and purpose of the Sphinx would get out there, because there's way too much speculation and misinformation about it...

Thanks for the link!

I'm totally buying that. But the implications are too huge to even be considered by "archeologists" and the so called (or self entitled) scholars.

This would be enough to throw all of the theories about human evolution on a trash bin and prove a whole lot of scientists wrong by a margin that is far from acceptable.

Unless of course what we see today practically as chimpanzees that learned how to make fire were in fact engineering masters using wood and rock tools.

Hi andrenochrome,

I must have overlooked your post, sorry. But it makes sense. All I know is that it was clearly modified from a previous version due to the proportions. Be it a Woman's head or a Lion's head it wasn't a pharaoh's head me thinks

Hey hey hey! Easy on the archaeologists! As I said before they can only publish what can be verified.

I just read the .pdf file and loved it. I am an archaeologist and majored in geology in undergrad. I love reading papers like this. I've read good arguments on both sides, and I lean in favor of over 10K years myself. However, you can only print what you can prove, so I doubt you will find very many archaeologists that will put their name in print with a date unless it's gone through a few academic caucuses.

And that is only natural as this is their "bread and butter". If you are wrong, no big deal. If they are wrong they might not get hired.

This would be enough to throw all of the theories about human evolution on a trash bin
.

How so? The standard notion is the earth is 4.5 billion years old. It wouldn't necessarily throw evolution in the trash bin. They've found axes that were 900K years old and peer reviewed it, so this isn't that much more of a leap.

and prove a whole lot of scientists wrong by a margin that is far from acceptable.


Not all scientists mind being proven wrong. I love open-ended mysteries, and I do not mind if someone is able to show me something new. Now, I might have a different view on this if I were near the end of my career, and having to compete with young whipper snappers...

Unless of course what we see today practically as chimpanzees that learned how to make fire were in fact engineering masters using wood and rock tools.

Sorry, I might gone a bit over the top. But I wasn't referring to all, but just some archeologists, mostly the ones that love to perpetuate something just so they get prove wrong.

But like you aside from being only allowed to publish just verifiable facts, they also have the option to publish nothing

Not evolution as whole, just human evolution. I really can't see homo heidelbergensis carving stuff like that using tools made of stone and wood with such level of detail and finishing.

If you get a 800k years old skull and compare it to the face of the sphinx you may see that they are not very similar in terms of proportions and stuff.

Anyway... once I see a "man-made" 800k years old structure that is similar to the Sphinx in terms of work, tools required, level of detail, engineering, etc, I'll accept that a major re-write wouldn't be required case that theory was found to be true.

Don't forget gorillas that learn sign language, paint on canvas, and have kittens for pets...


Hahaha! True, true!

But from that to creating a gigantic structure witch is the combination of a human face with the body of a lion there is a huge gap I guess.

Don't worry the theories on human evolution are fine the sphinx cannot be 12000 years old for one reason every one seems to ignore.If it was that old it would have eroded to the point we wouldn't even knew it existed.

And another problem with this whole theory is people believe it doesn't rain in Egypt it does also theres Nile floods as well used to happen every year until the dam was built.So we ruled out weathering as an indication of the age.

A close geological study of the sphinx and the nearby temples has revealed that the large blocks which were used to build the Valley Temple of Khefren's complex were most likely quarried from the layers that run through the upper part of the Sphinx's body.

The core blocks that were used to build the Sphinx Temple temple, on the other hand, came from just below the chest height of the Sphinx's body.

This means that the Sphinx was sculpted at almost the same time as when the Valley Temple and temple in front of the Sphinx were built. As the Valley Temple was built as part of Khefren's Pyramid Complex, it thus stands that the Sphinx was sculpted out of the rock during Khefren's reign as well.

I think archaeologist have proved the age and theres little doubt.However i do believe there is something buried under the sphinx or dare i say someone.

We cannot say that as fact. Unless we have records of rainfall for the past 10,000 years or so, which we don't, so that line of reasoning doesn't work.

"most likely" is not the same as "definitely were". There is still much room for doubt, in which case we cannot make claim. And, the layers running through the area will be found at many places besides the Pit where this Sphinx resides.

Also, the blocks dug out from the pit may well have been used elsewhere for all we know and then re-used in those temple complexes.

We have no proof of Khefren having built the Pyramid complex. He may well have restored the Sphinx and placed a slab stating his name on it between the paws, but this does not prove he built it or the pyramids. Since we cannot even decide for sure how the pyramids were built, anything we say about them is still only pure assumption.

The core blocks definitely were from the lower portion of the Sphinx the upper blocks may be from another location as well as there is some degree of difficulty since the upper blocks are a softer limestone and erosion makes there identification more difficult. Bottom line we know they temple used blocks quarried from the Sphinx enclosure.

When Khafre’s architects built the Sphinx and the Sphinx Temple, they removed the northern Valley Temple enclosure wall leaving a portion of it in place, incorporating that leftover part into the new Sphinx Temple southern wall.

So we can say:

The Valley Temple enclosure wall respects the Valley Temple casing stones.
The Valley Temple therefore predates its now-missing northern enclosure wall.
Part of the Valley Temple enclosure wall was later incorporated into the Sphinx Temple southern wall.
The Sphinx Temple was therefore built later than the Valley Temple.
This becomes even more important when you look at clear evidence indicating that the stones for the Sphinx Temple came from the lowest layers of the Sphinx quarry. We can sequence three of Khafre’s monuments in the following way:

The Sphinx is carved from the same quarry as the core blocks in the two lower Khafre temples.
The Sphinx Temple was built using blocks from the Member II layer of the Sphinx quarry.
The core blocks of the Sphinx Temple are matched geologically and archaeologically to the lower layers of Member II of the Sphinx quarry, indicating that the Sphinx lower body and Sphinx Temple were part of the same quarry-construction sequence.This is called archaeological sequencing if your curious.

Egypt's a Hobie of mine been there 4 times all ready and planing another trip soon oh and heres something most people don't know. There is a hole in the top of the head, now filled in, that once provided support for additional head decoration.
