The Sphinx is also the focus of scholars' research. It is 20 meters high and 73 meters long, and is believed to have been built by King Kafra, the pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty. But recently, scientists have speculated from the erosion marks on the Sphinx's surface that it was probably built earlier, estimated to be before 10,000 BC.
From the erosion marks on the Sphinx's surface, scholars speculate that it was probably built earlier than current estimates, at least 10,000 years ago.
In Sacred Science, mathematician Schwal Rubiz notes that the sphinx's sphinx is clearly eroded by water, which he speculates was caused by a great flood and torrential rains in 11,000 BC.
Scholar John West agrees with this statement and dismisses the theory of wind and sand erosion. For if it had been eroded by the wind, then other limestone buildings of the same era should have been eroded to the same extent, yet we find that none of the other buildings left behind have been as eroded as the Sphinx.
Robert Huchch, a professor of geology at Boston University and an expert on rock erosion, also agrees with West's view, and points out that the erosion of the Sphinx, in some places, is about 2 meters deep, making the outside snaked and bent like waves, which is obviously caused by thousands of years of fierce wind and rain.
West also points out that there has not been enough rain on the Kisha Plateau since the third millennium BC to cause the sphinx's erosion marks, and that it must be traced back to 10,000 BC before there was bad weather that could cause such large-scale erosion marks. Therefore, he speculated that the Sphinx must have been built before this chronological range. Together with such a large and complex project as the Great Pyramids, it is likely that the legacy of an earlier, greater, older civilization than ancient Egypt that we do not yet know was inherited by the Egyptians.
However, the new ideas put forward by West et al. have aroused the attention of mainstream Egyptologists because they are reluctant to believe that 10,000 years ago, there may have been more mature people on Earth than modern humans. Zahid, director of the Egyptian Monuments Society of Kisha Pyramids. Dr. Hawass abruptly halted the Sphinx team's research, criticizing it as non-scientific. But when West published the collected data at a meeting of the Geological Society of America, he was encouraged by many geologists. Although the idea of prehistoric civilization has been ignored for a long time, more and more scientists dare to face the facts, defend the arguments that seem original at this stage, and continue to research, believing that such a transformation will help mankind solve the mystery of the Great Pyramid!
