The day after...

(No one thought it was remoatly possible, but hey...)

[Beowulf9]

Well, I can believe the Sphinx is very old, was much larger and obviously had a different carving for the head.

The head as we see it now is too small, and also is not weathered the same as the rest.

The weathering on the other parts of the Sphinx isn’t compatable with the moat theory, though. It is compatable with the rain theory, but can they be so certain the rain over the past 4000 years hasn’t produced such erosion?

If there was a moat there would be a moat ring around the Sphinx. No mention of that at all. Just an obvious conclusion.

If the Sphinx was 7000 years old then the real question is how could a people so long ago, which I’m pretty sure we believe were very backwards, have produced such a large statue. Even larger than the one we see today, which we are amazed at.

No mention of the fact that we’d have to rework our theories of the abilities of this sort of civilizational era.
