I'll go with the 'reading' of Doctor Robert Schoch who dates the Sphinx to more ancient times.

" I'll go with the 'reading' of Doctor Robert Schoch who dates the Sphinx to more ancient times." Dittos. Saw the documentary a few years ago. Excellent presentation.

I concur. The vertical erosion channels (from water running down the face) on the walls of the Sphinx enclosure ( the rectangular depression cut into the rock in which the sphinx rests) could not have developed during the time since 2500 BC -- which has been bone-dry.
It is probable that the enclosure (and the Sphinx) date at least back to 10,000 BC -- or earlier.

Agreed, the vertical water run off marks were rather convincing.

I agree with Schoch/West theory as well. The water damage is very evident.

I'm with you. It is unfortunate that some Egyptologists are so dogmatic. I also have started to be swayed by the argument that the pyramids are
"cement" and not stone.

I agree with that, it was built long before.
