Just wanted to say that the ancient Egyptians were also descended from “Western Asian migrants” aka the Near East. The modern population has more sub-Saharan African genes.

One of the things that I have read about the sphinx is that it predates the pharaohs. I’ve read that some archaeologists say this is because of the deep water erosion around the sides. The rains stopped in the sahara about 3500 BC.

A further assertion is that the face of the sphinx was originally a lion that was chopped down into the face of pharaoh.

That this was done because the pharaoh people were different from the ones who made the sphinx. Here’s an article that shows a carving of a lion in exactly the same pose as the sphinx that predates the pharaohs.

Encyclopedia is less convinced but but shows all the arguments which taken together give greater weight to the old sphinx theory.

A couple of questions from the unwashed:

Are the tombs carved out of a wall or flat rock?

Seems they're finding lots of stuff.

I thought they'd "radar mapped" ALL of Egypt underground long ago and so I searched and found this from ten years ago (2011):

Where are all the pyramids - seems they'd want to look at those?

Is this study the basis for all these new discoveries?
