HI Don
I am happy to look at it.
If you are taking the view that the Egyptian religion was totally based upon an understanding of time/space and where they existed in the greater scheme of things, then that is not new. I have been promoting this idea for many years. Given the inability to prove such a theory, other than mathematically, I committed the idea to fiction and am still workin

Hi Warwick
I agree with your <What if Khufu instead of simply ensuring his eternal spiritual existence was really bent on resurrecting himself into THIS world?? >
What we think is physically or not physically possible, is not really relevant. It is what the Ancient Egyptians believed which is relevant.
It is my interpretation - using symbolism - that the reference is to some type

Hi Gerd
Your <I can tell you with certainty that Archae did just that. On top of that, he does have the qualifications which you assumed his didn't have.>
It is irrelevant whether or not Archae has the said qualifications. If he is not willing to disclose those qualifications, then he should be treated as someone who doesn't have them. Otherwise we cannot determine w

Hi Cladking
Regarding bought degrees, if you only accept those geologists with membership of the relevant professional associations, then you at least have some indication of peer acceptance of acceptable standard.
As regards all the other geologists who have written on the Sphinx, I am only aware of Schoch and Reader having researched and written on the Sphinx enclosure wall. If there ar

Hello Cladking
I certainly agree that there are specialist areas within professional disciplines. Being a geologist doesn't mean one is an expert in all areas of geology.
On the other hand, without the qualifications, what is the point of us arguing salt versus raindrops etc. We don't have the qualifications to deal with the issue.

Hello Anthony
There isn't enough evidence to form an opinion and you have not presented anything to the contrary - i.e anything which could be considered evidence. We have nothing regarding the construction of the Sphinx. That is a statement of fact.
What you call evidence, is nothing more than supposition - coupled with seriously stretching the facts to support your preconceived o

Hi Hermoine
Regarding to your question as to my views on the age of the Great
Sphinx, I honestly don't know. As far as I can see, there is not sufficient evidence to form an opinion.
The geological evidence supports an older date for the carving of the Sphinx enclosure wall. And I accept that evidence as being accurate. But that evidence is for the wall only - not for the Sphin

Hello Hermoine and nice to meet you
At risk of telling the owner of the site not to derail a thread - I would suggest you read my website more closely.
It is for a fictional novel ....... I'd like to emphasis the fictional aspect. The story is based upon my interpretation of the symbolism used by the Ancient Egyptians.
The novel is being written to publicise my theory, which

Hello Greg
what you have said doesn't hang together. Khufu was more than a name. It was a religious name adopted by a pharaoh. That religious name had a meaning associated with the AE god(s).
There is no evidence whatsoever regarding the construction of the Great Pyramid.
There is no evidence at all that the workers to whom you refer, were involved in the initial construction o

Hi Greg
i agree with Robert Schoch's dating of the Sphinx enclosure wall.
Bear in mind, of course, that he didn't date the Sphinx - merely the Sphinx enclosure wall.

Hello Katherine
Who said <The GP *had* to be built before the Sphinx (see the above link),>
We have nothing regarding the building of the Great Pyramid - which is mainly devoid of the infamous mortar.
We don't know that the GP was built by Khufu - this being only intepretion so how can it be said -

Hello Greg
I've extracted this from the link you gave
<Some point to the probability that the Sphinx and its temple were the final element...>
I would hardly call "some point to the probability" as evidence.
Can you do any better?

Hello Greg
The reference doesn't answer the question.
Why can't you answer his question? If there is evidence for the dating of the Sphinx, why can't you summarise it in dot point form for all of us to see.

Hello Greg
Lots of words but can you answer Don's question?
What is the evidence for the orthodox dating of the Sphinx? How hard is it to answer that question. Unless of course, there is no evidence.
Either answer his question or agree with him.

Hello Katherine
It seems you might have fallen on your own sword in your eagerness to not deal with the issue. The issue being the complete lack of evidence for the construction of the Giza monuments.
The stones in the great Pyramid are not held together by mortar. This is standard chit chat for the guides at Giza.
Mortor is only found near the base of the Great Pyramid. In fac

Hello Anthony
Do you think you could possibly stick to the thread and answer the question?
What evidence is there for the construction of the Sphinx? There isn't any and we all know it.
Your waffling off on irrelevancy, doesn't change the issue. You support an insupportable position. You are unable to find any evidence for your position let alone weight the evidence.

Hi Katherine
There is nothing regarding any of the following
1. the dating
2. the construction
3. who did the construction
All so called 'evidence' is nothing more than supposition,and interpretation based upon poorly founded assumptions. Then followed by even more assumptions based upon the original poorly founded assumptions and suppositions.

Hello Anthony
What.....<Everything else pretty much locks it to the Fourth Dynasty.>
Can you be precise as to exactly what everything else?
In fact, I'd be grateful for any evidence that supports any Dynasty.
More than that, anything at all regarding the construction of the sphinx would be welcome.

Hi Doug
This is rather an amusing comment <even Hancock now acknowledges is authentic and placed at the time of construction>.
Since when has Graham Hancock been an expert on the time for the construction of the Sphinx.
I find it interesting that those who are hellbent on supporting the orthodox - and completely unproven theories regarding the construction of the Giza monuments -

Hi Don
I understand this to be correct. Once again, it is a matter of interpretation.
Is the reference to Khafre,the pharaoh or to what Khafre meant?
I stand by my view with the Giza monuments - we have absolutely no record of their construction, by whom they were constructed and when. That includes the Sphinx.

Hi Bryan
You can be a fanatical All Black supporter
I think we might have a case of "counting chickens before they have hatched" with comments like "bringing the cup home to New Zealand".
By golly gosh, with this type of buildup, NZ will go into complete and absolute mourning if they lose.

Hi Pete
Of course, Wales. I do see why you are despondent.
However, the world cup starts in about 31 days when so many nations prides are riding on the success of their rugby union team.
Of course this is small consolation. In days long gone when the sport was strictly amateurish - in the quiet not too much happening country of my youth, and with winter closing in upon New Zealand -

Hi All
Sometime in the last 4 years or so - after I mentioned the Maori Haka during a discussion of certain similarities of the Maori Language and Ancient Egypt - I was asked what the Haka was.
It seemed many posters had never heard of it.
I did promise to find a link and then promptly forgot.
Here is a link to videos of the Haka.

Hi Don
It has been 3 years, six months and 11 days for me since giving up.
I try not to think about smoking.
I still have to avoid smokers sitting with a coffee or drink. Fortunately in Western Australia, all indoor smoking in public premises such as restaurants and pubs has been banned. All I have to do is stay away from the outside al fresco areas. Shame really.
