Gardiners World -ROBERT TEMPLE AND OLIVIA TEMPLE

[patrickgiles22]

His theory is sound. I've read the book. However, Temple and Schoch both deny the occurrence of rainwater during the Old Kingdom, although it has been proven that there was a lot of rain then. Climatologists call this the Holocene Wet Phase, which began before the pyramids were built and continued afterwards until 2200 BCE (the end of the Old Kingdom pyramid age. The erosion came from rainwater that was concentrated to the area of the Sphinx. Read my book, Rainwater..the answer to the Pyramids.

Thanks so much for posting this!

i dont buy it my self for the simple reason the head of the sphinx and the spine stands well above the proposed water level and thus could not be weathered by a flooded nile , also theres a ruin under the giza pyramid that also shows water erosion which could only have happened before the pyramid was built . its very possible the head has been re engineered but it could well originally had a rams head as many in luxor have which symbolise the fibonacci sequence. watch the magical Egypt series

@wichywoo The head and spine would have been above the water line, appearing as islands, which is exactly what texts say of a certain holy place.

@krelllabs if it was above the water line which it is then a flooded nile wouldnt erode the head , only rain water could do that, and the head is way out of proportion to the body(small) which implies its been re engineered at a later date presumably down to erosion by rain?. i think john anthony wests idea is far more plausible than temples. if the nile flooded that high , then surely the pyramids would have signs of water erosion too at their base ?

@wichywoo No one can show a water-eroded head; it seems to be recarved into a much smaller head, and now damaged by all the "restoration". There are photos of water very close to the pyramids, but their casing stones show no water erosion, nor does the platform. I like West's work very much (although SERPENT IN THE SKY is badly edited and a pain in the butt to read).

Very interesting.
