A New geological study shows that the great sphinx of Giza is 800,000 Years old
The Great Sphinx on the Giza plateau in Egypt is one of the most mysterious and enigmatic monuments on the planet’s surface.
It is an ancient structure that has baffled investigators since its discovery, and no one has been able to accurately date the Sphinx because there are no written records or reports of it in the past.
Now, two Ukrainian researchers have suggested a new controversial theory, claiming that the Great Sphinx of Egypt is about 800,000 years old. A scientifically based revolutionary theory.
The study was presented at the International Conference of Geoarchaeology and Archaeomineralogy held in Sofia titled: GEOLOGICAL ASPECT OF THE PROBLEM OF DATING THE GREAT EGYPTIAN SPHINX CONSTRUCTION.
The authors of this paper are scientists Manichev Vjacheslav I. (Institute of Environmental Geochemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine) and Alexander G. Parkhomenko (Institute of Geography of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine).
The starting point of these two experts is the paradigm shift initiated by West and Schoch, a ‘debate’ intended to overcome the orthodox view of Egyptology referring to the possible remote origins of the Egyptian civilization and, on the other, physical evidence of water erosion present at the monuments of the Giza Plateau.
I was going to say the same.
I see what you did there
Coprolites are exactly that.
Oh. I forgot it’s Sunday. You got the right idea though. Hit ‘em in the pocketbook since that’s what they’re doing to FR.
The kangz of old built it.
Make Wakanda Great Again!
Can’t stop giggling about this one. Well, just remember these facts:
The experts are never wrong.
The science is settled.

It’s the new math where it’s not about being correct, it’s about feeling good about your answer and how you got it.
LOL! Space alien design, I’ll bet. The next hoax headed our way after the Covid dictatorship assumes world power
Somewhere on line there is a video depicting the statue prior to being recarved approximately 4500 years ago. It was either Schoch, Bauval, of West who showed with start charts that the styatue was likely a lion and facing the Eastern Horizon where the Leo constellation would rise, placing the origins of the Lion form to app.8000 to 22, 000 years ago, based upon precessional change of the before dawn sky in the East.
As shown on this rendering, the greatest extent of the ice sheet was nowhere near Egypt. Just for a rough estimate, the crows fly distance from Vienna to Cairo is just under 1500 miles. Cool, but not icy

The bedrock that the Sphinx is carved from is apparently around 50 million years old.

“At the edge of Cairo, three massive pyramids rise from the Giza Plateau’s Mokattam Formation, which comprises of layers of middle Eocene limestones and dolomites. These rocks, which display fossil evidence of their origins at the bottom of the Tethys Sea some 50 million years ago, provided the millions of multiton blocks used to construct the pyramids.”

Fake news. Science fiction.
“Jack O’Neal and Daniel Jackson disagree.”
Scramble the above names and I think I know who did the figuring: Jack Daniels
Sphinx 800,00 years old?
They shouldn’t have left that behind back in the day.
Now they know the truth.
The French should not have used a cannon to blow its nose off.
What’s 3.5 billion years between friends?
Uh, a little late there pal. This came out in 2008. The argument runs thus: If we assume that waves were necessary to create the erosion pattern (because it looks similar to the erosion pattern on the Black Sea coast), then we would need a water level at least 160 m higher than the current sea level to flood the Sphinx; therefore, this could only have occurred 750,000 years ago, the last time the sea was so high. The problem with there BS starts with, the initial assumption.
