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 of Egypt is the current earthly equivalent [there was another Sphinx close to the temple of Poseidon] and contains the Akashic records for Earth.
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.
