Read later. BTW, nice illustration! :)

[Condor51]

Nice graphic but I think you misread the article.

Its: 'Was the Great Sphinx Surrounded By a Moat?'

Not: 'Did the Great Sphinx have a head of an Old Goat'.

:-)

anyway, IMHO hypothesizing about the Sphinx is like arguing about how many Angels can dance on the head of a pin.

[bgill]

Sounds very plausible.

Is that a pic of what the oldest sculpture looked like?

[allmost]

It’s older IMO.

I don’t buy it. What did they have a fountain that washed over the Sphinx? I’m in the 10,000 year old group.

Thnx for the laughs

That moat doesn’t need a moat monster- It has Helen.

[Bookwoman]

I always thought the face of the sphinx looked familiar.

[ApplegateRanch]

No wonder it was used for artillery practice!

Equally it's no wonder that no Europeans were ever interested in carting it home as a “souvenir”.
