Geologists who have studied the weathering and water erosion on Great Sphinx insist that it is more like 8,000 years old. Egyptologists are not happy with the findings of the rock guys, but of course the 'gyptos base their dates on something I believe is called the "Inventory Stela", which dates from a much more recent dynasty.

Not happy with the findings of the rock guys. The rock guys have also made intereting discoveries about the Black Sea region and have posited that for a time the center of middle eastern civilization was the fresh water lake that was flooded when the natural dam on the Bosporus broke. They are now exploring the ancient shorline, which is under water, for evidence, but it's a slow process using side-scanning sonar.
