True Age of the Giza Pyramids/ Sphinx

[Bucky the Badger]

I was wondering about everyone's ideas were on the true age of the Pyramids and Sphinx. For one, they are definitely older than the conventional Egyptological date on the reign of Khufu/Khafre, since the Inventory Stela indicates that Khufu REPAIRED the Sphinx, so therefore his son could not have built it. Geologists have determined that the heavy erosion on the sphinx is that of water, not sand, unusual for a desert. The last time heavy rainfall was experienced in the region was in 8000 BC. Further, some have suggested that the sphinx is symbolic of the astrological age of Leo, which began around 10500 BC. What do y'all think?

I don't know much about these either, sorry.

I remember an interested History Channel show that Dr. Schoch sure thought it was eroded by water. Interesting subject and I always wished I were an Egyptologist, but alas, I am not.

Great topic! However, like the others here, I am not particularly educated about these things.

I tend to believe that the Sphinx is far older than conventional archeology ascribes; even before Dr. Schoch tabled his theories others had made similar suggestions.

Again, this is something I've not dealt with in close to 20 years so I can't give accurate book titles, but if you look into texts like the "Siros Connection" you will find some interesting perspectives. Too, you will find that some of these ideologies link to the whole ET gave life to the planet theory; while it's debatable and some even seek to negate such, the idea that the "children of heaven" came down and populated the earth in some way is very ancient and not exclusive to any one part of the globe, several ancient cultures refer to this as well as the idea of "little people" with uncanny abilities. I don't say this as someone looking for a fantasiful sense of validation but more as someone that's willing to consider the likelihood that ET types were somehow involved with the yet known history of this planet and human society. As such, I believe there are things like Dr. Schoch's hypothesis that really should be taken with more than a grain or two of salt.
