Dating of the Sphinx
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 association with Khafre is primarily based on:
- 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.
Graham Hancock
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. 408-411).
- 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. 335-337).
- 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. 405-407).
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. 402-404).
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.

Professor Schoch
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. This places the statue at a time when the Saharan region was much more humid, lush with plant and animal life, and subject to persistent rainfall. 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. This erosion, according to the science of geology, could only be the result of prolonged rainfall, in contrast to the dry weather experienced in Egypt since 2500 BC. 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. It was painted and decorated. The base represents underground chambers preserving Atlantean information. Water erosion indicates greater age than mainstream views accept.

Meaning of the Sphinx
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. It has always done so.

D: So the temple was there at the same time as the pyramids.
J: Yes, the pyramids were the oldest.
D: The Sphinx came later?
J: Yes, because after the temple was gone, even though the people didn’t understand what we did, they were grateful for the gold. And the mystery of the cat people became like a legend. The priests weren’t able to continue what we did because they didn’t know our secrets. Creating a legend was the best they could do.

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. It represented the cat people. They called us the cat people, because we had our golden cats and we had our temple cats. It was for those people who needed our help. The life they were in, they wouldn’t come to the temple. So we’d go to them in cats.
The Convoluted Universe, Book II
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.

Secrets Beneath the Sphinx
“The Sphinx sitting on an underground box, an underground chamber of mysteries and secrets.”
Bashar
According to Bashar, the Sphinx, originally an Anubis statue from around 10,500 BC, conceals underground chambers containing mysteries. These will be revealed between now and 2050, contingent on humanity’s understanding of frequency and resonance.
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.

S: What was it like to live in Atlantis at that time? J: In your lifetime there it doesn’t seem to be the greatest place to be, seems like a time of big change. And it’s about to enter into a phase that will lead to its destruction. The people could feel that, the end of an innocence. S: Had the Sphynx already been created there? J: Yes, that was their outpost, the end of their territory and claim to the river.
The pyramid was completely covered with moss and luxuriant climbing plants. Gawan stood waiting at the entrance to the building. But nothing moved. Entire families of cats used to live there, but it seemed as if they had left. The animals called “cats” were as big as cougars, and their color was light yellow.
All the knowledge that the people of Atlantis possessed on astronomy was a legacy from this people.

Symbolism of the Sphinx
The Sphinx is described as having a lion’s body, a human head, the hooves of a bull, and wings. Each of these features represents one of the four classical elements:
- Lion’s Body: Symbolizes fire.
- Human Head: Represents water.
- Bull’s Hooves: Symbolize earth.
- Wings: Represent air.
These elements are associated with four necessary virtues for achieving the realization of the inner self:
- Courage of the Lion: Represents bravery and strength.
- Intelligence of the Human: Represents wisdom and understanding.
- Wings of the Spirit: Symbolize spiritual freedom and elevation.
- Tenacity of the Bull: Represents determination and perseverance.
Cultural Significance
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 idea that ancient sages, possibly from Atlantis, who survived a cataclysmic event, were responsible for building many pyramids, including the Great Pyramid of Egypt.
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.

Link to Atlantis
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. It was built at the start of the Age of Leo, the era of courage, beauty and love.
Much older than scientists currently date it, it was originally painted red, symbolising the sacred warrior energy of its role as guardian of the planet.
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.
So many people have done the exercise in the book to energise the web of light over Africa, that within a few months its vitality had increased to five per cent. In 2022 it was 27 per cent. There is great hope for Earth if we all do our part.

Emerald Tablet 5: The Dweller of Unal
Then gathered I the sons of Atlantis. Into the spaceship I brought all my records, brought the records of sunken Atlantis.
Gathered I all of my powers, instruments many of mighty magic. Up then we rose on wings of the morning. High we arose above the Temple, leaving behind the Three and DWELLER, deep in the HALLS ‘neath the Temple, closing the pathway to the LORDS of the Cycles. Yet ever to him who has knowing, open shall be the path to AMENTI. Fast fled we then on the wings of the morning, fled to the land of the children of KHEM. There by my power, I conquered and ruled them. Raised I to LIGHT, the children of KHEM.
Deep ‘neath the rocks, I buried my spaceship, waiting the time when man might be free. Over the spaceship, erected a marker in the form of a lion yet like unto man. There ‘neath the image rests yet my spaceship, forth to be brought when need shall arise.
Know ye, O man, that far in the future, invaders shall come from out of the deep. Then awake, ye who have wisdom. Bring forth my ship and conquer with ease. Deep ‘neath the image lies my secret. Search and find in the pyramid I built. Each to the other is the Keystone; each the gateway that leads into LIFE. Follow the KEY I leave behind me. Seek and the doorway to LIFE shall be thine. Seek thou in my pyramid, deep in the passage that ends in a wall. Use thou the KEY of the SEVEN, and open to thee the pathway will fall. Now unto thee I have given my wisdom. Now unto thee I have given my way. Follow the pathway. Solve thou my secrets. Unto thee I have shown the way.
