Two words: Henrich Schielman

He wasn’t an archaeologist, and yet he discovered the city of Troy and that the Trojan War was probably a real event.

I point to Robert Schoch, Professor of Geology at Boston University. He looked at the sphinx and documented the erosion lines that show very typical patters of water erosion, which could only happen if the Sphinx was there a lot longer than currently thought, thousands of years, back when Giza was a lush forest. This is pretty wild but he had empirical evidence, he had credentials, he had hard science. The reaction?

Well here's one egyptologist, but representative of most: "You don't overthrow Egyptian history based on one phenomenon like a weathering profile... that is how pseudoscience is done, not real science."

What science does he have for dating the sphinx? They found a little statue that's not at the sphinx but a little temple in front of it and assumed it dates from same time as sphinx. Ladies and gentlemen, the hard science is ... asumption!
