We all wonder when we see the Sphinx of Egypt(at Giza). How they might have built some thing like this 4500 years ago (as Egyptologists claim). Yah, it’s a true wonder. It’s indicating us that there was a time when intelligent people lived in this planet. By considering there intelligence, one question really pops up, how much intelligence we developed from that time? Do we have a remarkable progress path? Well, it’s some thing we need to thick.
A large number of people convinced (so far) with the answer to the question, 'When' the Sphinx was built? Still some other questions are really annoying us, WHY they did so? WHO did it? .... No answer for that.
There are people who really not convinced by the age of Sphinx. The helping hand to step up with a different theory for them was the weathering or we can say the erosion characteristics they noticed on the Sphinx. A couple of studies and tests which they carried out indicated a different time, which is far more behind that we can simply assume, more than 9000 years old. Oh GOD! .. Yes. . Even I thought the same.
The main factor forced to believe them in this new way is the erosion characteristics, as I mentioned earlier, which cannot happen just really with the wind that appears in Sahara, but rain . hmm .. Rain in Sahara? yes, but not now ... more than 9000 years ago .. may be even before that. That time the area was very fertile land with enough rain .. even computer model predicts that a time of 10500 years ago, the climatic situation of that land was blessed with rain.
Quite interesting, right?
The patterns they found in the Sphinx clearly gives a clue that the erosion was due to rain. So it means that the Sphinx was built even before? Confusing .. since we don’t have any solid evidence.
You might have heard about the Edger Cayce (the Sleeping prophet of America). Even he mentioned once that the Sphinx is build around 10,500 years ago. If that’s true, we had a great intelligent civilization in this world, it’s amazing isn’t it? .. mystery …
Well, those who really need to know about the mystery of Sphinx, there are some really good documentaries in Youtube.
