Fig.80Now just think about all that for a moment. These types of standard geological tests are used to
date the last flood in the area and hundreds of other sites around the world and the results are
accepted. Yet when exactly the same tests are used and they irrefutably prove the erosion on the
Sphinx and its enclosure was very clearly created by water, but the results are dismissed and the
entire debate on the issue is not mentioned to the public.
Did you see that? In the blink of an eye and a quick bit of ‘scientific sleight of hand’, one set of
standard geological tests is to be accepted while another set of identical test is to be disregarded.
Simply because it’s not an issue when the last torrential rains occurred in Egypt, but it is an issue
to say the Sphinx may have been there at the time because if it was there it would prove them
wrong, so they simply disallow the test. And if someone does one behind their back, well then the
test is disregarded and if they complain, it’s back to the doctorate waving and personal attacks as
the last line of defense.
And let’s face it folks, it’s really the only defense they have.
The fact that no such erosion is visible anywhere on the pyramids is also a serious issue for
contention because that means that the Sphinx may have even been there before the Great
Pyramid, in fact well before it. This is also an arena that Egyptologists view as very dangerous
ground and flatly refuse to enter in to. Any attempt to raise the issue invariably produces a wave
of scathing and usually very personal and unscientific attacks punctuated by numerous
brandishing of degrees. Of course one must remember that the pyramids were all encased with
smooth, weathered and much hardened limestone and that this may well have served for
protection of the 3 monuments during any great rains or floods thus preventing any visible signs
of water erosion while the Sphinx would have been left exposed to any damaging flood waters
However, according to West and others, the entire Giza complex can be accurately dated by
simply studying the astronomical alignments of the various monuments.
The reason astronomy can so easily be used for this task is because astronomy, ritual and
reincarnation were such very important parts of the Egyptian belief system and many believe the
basis of the entire Ancient Egyptian culture. The Egyptians believed heavily in the duality
