He gained prominence through his collaboration with John Anthony West, who invited him to Egypt in 1990 to investigate the Sphinx.
Schoch was invited to Egypt in 1990 to study the Great Sphinx.
Initially skeptical, he aimed to confirm the conventional dating of the Sphinx to 2500 BCE.
His observations revealed that the Sphinx showed evidence of water erosion rather than wind and sand erosion.
Using subsurface seismic testing and erosion patterns, Schoch concluded that the Sphinx could date back to at least 10,000 BCE.
Repairs to the Sphinx during dynastic Egypt (circa 2500 BCE) suggest it was already an ancient monument by then.
A chamber was discovered beneath the left paw of the Sphinx, aligning with predictions made by Edgar Cayce regarding an ancient archive.
The evidence from the Sphinx, Gobekli Tepe, and other sites points to a sophisticated understanding of astronomy and architecture long before traditionally accepted dates.
It examines geological and archaeological evidence suggesting that this feature may predate the pyramids and the Great Sphinx.
It extends from the northwest corner of the Khafre Valley Temple, passes the Great Sphinx, and ends at the Khafre Mortuary Temple.
The northern quarry begins approximately 20 meters behind the Sphinx enclosure.
Some suggest the ridge may have been an older roadway, used before the pyramids and the Sphinx were constructed.
Viewed from the Sphinx Temple, the sun sets between the Great Pyramid and the Pyramid of Khafre, resembling an ancient Egyptian horizon hieroglyph.
The Sphinx enclosure walls show asymmetrical erosion, with the western end significantly more degraded than the eastern end.
If the northern quarry predates the Sphinx enclosure, this suggests the Sphinx enclosure is older than previously thought.
The asymmetrical erosion pattern further supports the theory that the Sphinx enclosure predates the Fourth Dynasty quarries.
The evidence suggests that the limestone ridge, the causeway, and the Sphinx enclosure are older than traditionally believed.
The video discusses the claim that the Giza Sphinx predates the dynastic period of ancient Egypt, potentially being 12,000 or more years old.
Some researchers and public figures have proposed that the Sphinx was constructed as early as 12,000 to 13,000 years ago, with some extreme claims suggesting an age of 36,000 years.
These theories argue that the Sphinx predates the construction of the pyramids and was later modified by the ancient Egyptians around 2,500 BCE, who re-carved its head into the likeness of a pharaoh.
The primary evidence for the Sphinx being older than traditionally believed is the erosion of its limestone body and the surrounding enclosure.
Between 11,000 and 5,000 years ago, the Nile River's level was higher, placing the Giza plateau, including the Sphinx enclosure, within the river's flood zone.
During this period, the Sphinx enclosure would have been submerged for thousands of years, making it impossible for rain to cause the observed erosion.
Prolonged submersion would have led to the disintegration, rather than erosion, of the Sphinx’s limestone, particularly its vulnerable neck structure.
While it is theoretically possible that the Sphinx is 12,000 years old, the available archaeological and geological evidence does not support this hypothesis.
Current research suggests that the traditional dating of the Sphinx's construction during the dynastic period of ancient Egypt remains more plausible.
Additionally, the Sphinx's orientation aligns with the constellation Leo, which is associated with the Age of Leo during this period.
The water erosion marks on the Sphinx and pyramids suggest exposure to significant rainfall, dating their construction to periods earlier than traditionally accepted timelines.
The video explores theories that the Great Pyramids of Egypt and the Sphinx are older than conventionally believed.
Hypotheses propose the Sphinx may date to approximately 36,000 BCE, based on astrological alignments and geological evidence such as salt deposits and erosion patterns.
Sphinx and Giza Complex: Alignments with celestial events dated to around 10,500 BCE.
LaCroix proposes that there may be a vast network of rooms and subterranean structures underneath the Sphinx, potentially serving as protective enclosures for ancient knowledge.
LaCroix suggests that existing sites, such as Göbekli Tepe and the Sphinx, provide clues to the lifestyle, technological sophistication, and mythologies of these lost peoples.
Robert Schoch, who has argued that the Sphinx shows evidence of water erosion, suggesting it could be thousands of years older than mainstream estimates.
LaCroix also asserts that later dynastic Egyptian societies altered older structures to claim them as their own, including re-carving the Sphinx to feature a pharaoh’s head over its original lion's head design.
LaCroix proposes that under the Sphinx and the Giza Plateau lie extensive underground chambers, possibly containing ancient records.
The theory also raises the possibility that the Sphinx was originally constructed during this era, facing the constellation of Leo during the vernal equinox.
Some scholars argue that the Sphinx’s original form might have been a lion, later altered by subsequent rulers.
Bauval’s research also touched on the Sphinx’s alignment.
This suggests that the Sphinx may have been built to mark this significant period, further reinforcing the "As Above, So Below" concept found in Egyptian mythology, where the heavens were mirrored on Earth.
Alignments between the pyramids and Orion, the significance of Sirius, and the astronomical role of the Sphinx point to a civilization deeply invested in reflecting the cosmos in their sacred architecture.
The Sphinx: Its alignment with the constellation of Leo during the vernal equinox further supports the idea that these monuments were built to reflect celestial events from a much earlier epoch.
Bauval's Orion Correlation Theory has sparked ongoing debate in the field of Egyptology, with its implications challenging traditional views on the age of the pyramids and the Sphinx.
Erik mentions that remains of this civilization may also be found under the Sphinx in Egypt, alongside scrolls, pottery, and small tools.
He adds that the Sphinx contains artifacts from multiple ancient civilizations.
Each site was marked by a symbol of the time, the sphinx.
Lobsang Rampa’s book describes the Sphinx as a figure representing the unity of human intelligence and animal strength.
The cat, symbolizing power and intelligence, was a revered figure, and the sphinx represented the harmony between human and animal kingdoms.
Each sphinx was constructed with precise intent and purpose, reflecting the advanced knowledge of astrology and inter-dimensional communication at the time.
When asked about the paw of the Sphinx, Erik and the others reveal that it may conceal a map related to astrology.
This explains why the landscape around the Sphinx in Egypt, once tropical, is now desert.
There are hidden artifacts, including crystals and skulls, inside the Sphinx.
Erik clarifies that the Sphinx is made of solid stone, with cavities and chambers beneath it.
These spaces, possibly under the paws of the Sphinx, once contained valuables and records.
Water was significant in the erosion of the Sphinx, which may have once been located in a more tropical environment, as evidenced by marks resembling wave erosion.
The Sphinx's original purpose was to act as a guardian and to channel energy from the sun, which enhanced the pyramids' power.
The Sphinx originally had a face resembling a cat, possibly a lynx, before it was altered by a later pharaoh.
Erik explains that vandalism, jealousy, and beliefs about suffocating harmful spirits contributed to the removal of the Sphinx's nose.
When asked about undisclosed chambers within the pyramids and Sphinx, Erik confirms that there are hidden spaces beneath these structures.
Ivan Teller begins the session by introducing the topics for the evening: Atlas, the king of Atlantis, the Hall of Records, the Sphinx, and Mother Earth.
Ivan transitions to the topic of the Sphinx and the Hall of Records, areas rich with hidden knowledge.
They claim there are tunnels beneath the Sphinx that contain important information, more so than beneath the pyramids.
Starseed children, with heightened spiritual abilities, will play a role in activating ancient sites such as the pyramids and the Sphinx, ushering in a new era of spiritual growth.
The Sphinx, standing guard near the pyramid, symbolizes the challenge of mastering the lower animal nature before entering the higher spiritual realms.
The Sphinx and the pyramid together represent the eternal journey of the soul towards enlightenment.
Their critics argued that no culture over 12,000 years old existed, and no construction like the Sphinx had occurred before 4,500 years ago.
The Great Sphinx was constructed prior to the pyramids and originally had a feline face, representing the influence of Lyra.
As the Orion-like Pharaohs rose to power, they altered the Sphinx to have a more human face.
The readings suggest that the Hall of Records is linked to the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx, both of which are seen as monuments to the enduring legacy of Atlantis.
Tefnut is associated with the Sphinx in Egypt, which the speaker refers to as the Lion Queen.
They established centers of learning, including in Cairo, and built the Great Sphinx and pyramids.
The Sphinx symbolized the four elements: fire (lion), water (human), earth (bull), and air (wings).

The Sphinx symbolized the four elements: fire (lion), water (human), earth (bull), and air (wings).
It was in this way that ancient monuments such as the Sphinx and Great Pyramid were created, which your archaeologists attribute to slave labour.
Hancock references the Inventory Stela, which implies that the Sphinx and other structures on the Giza plateau existed before Khufu's time.
The one in the Atlantean land, that sank, which will rise and is rising again; another in the place of the records that leadeth from the Sphinx to the hall of records, in the Egyptian land; and another in the Aryan or Yucatan land, where the temple there is overshadowing same.
Though not all of Thoth’s students made the journey, enough of them did, carrying the knowledge to Egypt, where they hid it safely beneath the Sphinx.

In Queen Móo and the Egyptian Sphinx (1896), Le Plongeon writes the Atlantic Mu into the same catastrophe story Plato records:
Conventional Egyptology dates the construction of the Sphinx to the Fourth Dynasty, around 2500 BC, during the reign of Pharaoh Khafre.
This dating relies on indirect evidence rather than direct methods, as the Sphinx lacks inscriptions or datable artifacts.
The Sphinx Stela: Erected by Thutmosis IV, which mentions Khafre, suggesting restoration during Khafre’s time rather than initial construction.
Proximity to Khafre's Pyramid: The Sphinx is located near Khafre's pyramid, part of the Giza necropolis, a Fourth Dynasty site.
Facial Resemblance: Some argue the Sphinx’s face resembles known statues of Khafre.
Hancock challenges this dating, proposing that the Sphinx is much older based on geological and historical analyses:
Water Erosion Hypothesis: Along with geologist Robert Schoch, Hancock suggests the weathering patterns on the Sphinx and its enclosure indicate significant water erosion, implying it was carved in a much wetter climate, possibly before 10,000 BC (p.
Historical Accounts and Myths: Hancock references ancient Egyptian texts and myths that imply the Sphinx was ancient even in Khafre’s time, suggesting a much older date (p.
Recarving Hypothesis: There is a suggestion that the smaller head of the Sphinx was recarved during dynastic times, altering its original form to appear more pharaonic (p.
Criticism of Conventional Views: Hancock argues that mainstream Egyptologists dismiss alternative theories about the Sphinx's age due to their commitment to a linear model of history, viewing civilization as progressively advancing from simple to complex.
He believes acknowledging an earlier date for the Sphinx would necessitate reevaluating ancient history and considering the existence of advanced prehistoric civilizations (p.
Hancock's views on the Sphinx challenge the traditional timeline of history and suggest a need to explore the possibility of advanced civilizations existing before the known Egyptian dynasties.
In 1991, Professor Schoch scientifically dated the Sphinx to thousands of years prior to the time of the Egyptian pharaohs, having been constructed at the end of the last ice age.
And despite constant criticism from mainstream archeologists, he’s held his ground, showing seismic data of the region which suggests the Sphinx’s origin may be more accurately placed at 10,000 B.C.E.
“In October 1991, Dr Robert Schoch, a geologist at Boston University, presented detailed evidence that the Sphinx was thousands of years older than the commonly accepted date of 2500 BC.-’ His conclusion was based on the weathering profile of the limestone rock, out of which the Sphinx had been carved.
Visitors to the Sphinx today can clearly see the vertical weathering profile in the limestone trench surrounding the Sphinx.
Based on the climatic evidence, Schoch estimated that the Sphinx had to be between 9,000 and 12,000 years old, when the climate in Egypt was much wetter.”
The Sphinx, built around 10,500 BC alongside the Great Pyramid, originally depicted Anubis, a reclining canine figure.
The Sphinx holds all the information pertaining to our planet as a whole, not just Atlantis, of all that has ever been, is, and will be.
D: The Sphinx came later?
The Sphinx was built about the same time [as the pyramids 12,000 years ago], within maybe a thousand years.
The Sphinx was built more by the Atlanteans, because they used the Sphinx for some of the burial sites.
You will notice there are chambers under the Sphinx that were used for burial sites, or what you would also call “tombs”.
That was the purpose of the Sphinx.
The only thing that was allowed to be a reminder of that temple that was destroyed, was this Sphinx.
The Great Sphinx was constructed prior to the pyramids and originally had a feline face, representing the influence of Lyra.
As the Orion-like Pharaohs rose to power, they altered the Sphinx to have a more human face.
"The Sphinx sitting on an underground box, an underground chamber of mysteries and secrets."
According to Bashar, the Sphinx, originally an Anubis statue from around 10,500 BC, conceals underground chambers containing mysteries.
What did the Sphinx look like after its initial construction?
The Sphinx was painted and decorated, initially featuring the form of Anubis.
Anubis was depicted reclining on a structure, representing the chambers beneath the Sphinx.
Erosion and other evidence suggest the Sphinx dates back to around 10,500 BCE.
The Sphinx is described as having a lion's body, a human head, the hooves of a bull, and wings.
The Sphinx is not only an Egyptian symbol but is also found in various cultures, including Greece and Asia, suggesting a universal esoteric significance.
The female sphinx, tied to Isis and lion symbolism, appears across various cultures, including depictions of Ishtar (sitting atop lions). These motifs recur across African and Mediterranean traditions.

The Sphinx, when it had one hundred per cent of its power, sent out such pure and powerful light that it stopped invaders as they approached us.
Because of the decline of spirituality on the planet, the Sphinx was almost power-less to protect us.
It is vital that people worldwide, now focus on love, peace and light, thus enabling the Sphinx to regain its strength.
When Diana’s book, The Web of Light, was published, the life force of the Sphinx had reduced to two per cent.
In 1991, Professor Schoch scientifically dated the Sphinx to thousands of years prior to the time of the Egyptian pharaohs, having been constructed at the end of the last ice age.
And despite constant criticism from mainstream archeologists, he’s held his ground, showing seismic data of the region which suggests the Sphinx’s origin may be more accurately placed at 10,000 B.C.E.
