Gardiners World -ROBERT TEMPLE AND OLIVIA TEMPLE

The Sphinx Mystery
Shrouded in mystery for centuries, the Sphinx of Giza has frustrated many who have attempted to discover its original purpose. Accounts exist of the Sphinx as an oracle, as a king's burial chamber, and as a temple for initiation into the Hermetic Mysteries. Egyptologists have argued for decades about whether there are secret chambers underneath the Sphinx, why the head-to-body ratio is out of proportion, and whose face adorns it.

In The Sphinx Mystery, Robert Temple with his wife Olivia address the many mysteries of the Sphinx. He presents eyewitness accounts, published over a period of 281 years, of people who saw the secret chambers and even went inside them before they were sealed in 1926--accounts that had been forgotten until the author rediscovered them. He also describes his own exploration of a tunnel at the rear of the Sphinx, perhaps used for obtaining sacred divinatory dreams.

Robert Temple reveals that the Sphinx was originally a monumental Anubis, the Egyptian jackal god, and that its face is that of a Middle Kingdom Pharaoh, Amenemhet II, which was a later re-carving. In addition, he provides photographic evidence of ancient sluice gate traces to demonstrate that, during the Old Kingdom, the Sphinx as Anubis sat surrounded by a moat filled with water--called Jackal Lake in the ancient Pyramid Texts--where religious ceremonies were held. He also provides evidence that the exact size and position of the Sphinx were geometrically determined in relation to the pyramids of Cheops and Chephren and that it was part of a pharaonic resurrection cult.

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.

@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).

@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 ?

Thanks so much for posting this!

@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.

[wichywoo]

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

Very interesting.
