They're covering up the ancient water erosion that was obvious to everyone who saw it.

The sphinx head was recarved from an ancient statue of a lioness.

The original statue is tens of thousands of years old. Probably over 100,000 years old.

It sounds crazy, right?

There's vertical water erosion pathways that are 3 to 4.5 feet deep into the rock surface of the body.

These are obviously created by water, and not wind.

This erosion is inexplicable with the absurd 5000 year timeline, or the idea that Egyptians who fought on wooden chariot's could ever build the pyramids, or the sphinx.

These megaliths are relics from prior epochs of human civilizations.

Civilizations, which pre-date the catastrophe(s) that reset human civilization to zero.

They are erasing history. This is a crime.

This is such dumb take.

The whole reason that cultures build pyramids, which are just big piles of rocks, is because they don't have the tech to build tall towers or massive building.

I figure every Brit is slightly salty that y'all couldn't fit the Sphinx in a British museum.

Technically educated people understand that it's currently not possible to precision-fit 100 ton blocks of stone.

I'm not talking about the heavily eroded exterior stones.

I'm identifying the internal stone work, which are so tightly fit that you cannot slide a sheet of paper between them.

Yet we're supposed to believe people waging war with horse-drawn chariots and spears were able to do so.

There's a reason most people aren't taught about the insanely precise nature of the pyramids.

It completely unravels the false historical timelines of humanity.

they are not that precise inside - the majority of the stone

the exteriors are not that precise either that 'fit a thickness paper' thing is a mistaken quote

the outer limestone casing would have far more effort put into it (and also is easier to work than granite) , but it was a tiny fraction of the whole

the vast majority of the great pyramids stones are 2 tons or less

[–]twolanterns 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

pyramids were an extension of the mastaba tombs

It's actually the ruins of Jabba's sail barge.

If you make such claims, please link a complete fully verified simulation software package so we can too understand your claims as being more than the words of some complete moron. Perhaps you are a really smart guy, but you have not presented anything that could be interpreted as evidence.

Bro. These are both great channels. Thanks for the links.

I was starting to wonder if you had notifications set to off.

😁 😆 😅

[–]LarrySwinger2 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Yep. How do you arrive at 100,000+ years old specifically though?

[–]Tom_Bombadil 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

3-4.5 ft deep erosion channels are not specific, but this is erosion one could expect in a riverbed but not a landscape surface on a desert.

For these erosion changes, the environment had to be very different, for a very long time.

But they cannot occur without ages of steady rainfall.

the things were painted once(or many times), might accelerants have been introduced that way ?

Amnesia, I think.

Yep.

Oh, 10,000 years ago. Yeah, precipitation induced weathering studies come up with about that number. Kind of cool, since we have no evidence of an Egyptian civilization as old as that.

Yep.

But how long would it take for rainfall to weather 3 to 4.5 feet deep channels. Not one or two in specific locations, but all over the body, and the enclosure walls.

The bedrock was carved away (down) to form the sphinx's body.
The enclosure walls have the same water erosion pattern.

The head rises above the bedrock level.

Envision a small meandering stream that's is located in a limestone valley.

If this small stream flows along a section of bedrock, then how many years of near-continuous flow would it take to erode 3-4.5 feet?

That's continuous flow.

How many years of seasonal rain cycles would it take to erode these grooves into the sphinx and it's enclosure???

It would take tens of thousands of years of rainfall. Easily.

Probably more.
