 The severe undulating erosion upon the walls of the Sphinx enclosure undoubtedly showed that the Sphinx had been heavily weathered long before the Sahara became a desert. Therefore, one must suspect that it could indeed be over 9,000 years old. Not knowing exactly how much rainfall there's been in the distant past, the Sphinx could indeed be far older than this. The most notable scholarly advocates, Robert Scotch, argues that the Sphinx may be far older than 12,000 years. Robert Baval and Graham Hancock proposed that the Sphinx may have been built around 10,500 BC during the last Age of Leo. Anthony West believes everything on the Giza Plateau testifies to an advanced, secure and long-settled civilization. Therefore he suggests that the Sphinx may have been built not during the Age of Leo but the whole processional cycle earlier. In around 36,000 BC, a date he feels is more in keeping with the history of Egypt as chronicled by certain Egypt kings. Regardless of an exact date, all of these talented Egyptologists propose a date set much further back within history than currently accepted and they have provided considerable evidence to back up such conclusions. At the time of disclosure, the argument sent shockwaves through the Egyptologist establishment. Not because of the datings, Egyptologists and mainstream historians have grown quite inept at ignoring data, but more because it was realized that there is indeed no other explanation for their arguments. There is little doubt that the Sphinx enclosure was subject to severe erosion within its lifetime and although it could have been explained away as a naturally formed enclosure, we fortunately know from analysis that the limestone blocks dug out from there were then used within the building of nearby Sphinx temple. Interestingly, no other site in Egypt shows the same type or degree of erosion. Was the evidence hidden away? Concealed from the public in what could only be called a conspiracy? Sediments surrounding the base of the monuments under once existing watermark upon the stone's halfway up the Great Pyramid's sides indicate just that. Two inch thick salt incrustations once found within inner chambers, silt sediments rising to 14 feet around the bases of the pyramids, found to contain seashells and fossils that have been radiocarbon dated at nearly 12,000 years old, have indeed slowly vanished over the years. These sediments could only have been deposited in such great quantities by major sea flooding. The watermark was also once clearly visible on the limestone casing stones of the Great Pyramid. These stones were unfortunately unknowingly removed by invading Arabs. These watermarks were halfway up the sides of the pyramid, or about 400 feet above the present level of the Nile River, 200 feet above the base. It seems the last remaining shred of evidence, the enclosure, survived due to the talented individuals that were required to spot it. Those who are thankfully on our side. Some of the largest, and indeed oldest, megalithic sites upon Earth, are mostly classified as ruins due to them indeed being in a dilapidated state. Yet upon our travels around these so-called ruins, we have often found that erosion is not the primary cause of this current state. Many of those built much later than that of the clearly naturally eroded conditions of Cappadocia, where some sections have literally returned to the geologically natural state in which they were first formed, for example. Instead, they appear to have experienced a cataclysm, one possibly involving a great flood. The crack in the unfinished obelisk, unfinished, like countless other ancient sites, abruptly abandoned, ancient quarries, ancient builds, structures, even Moai on Easter Island, abandoned at their seeming height of abilities. These places, preserved in a state of past bustling, yet these once flourishing stone mason locations, are all now moderately damaged, with only those built to an angle and in anticipation of attack or cataclysm surviving in any real significance. A testament to the builders of these sites' abilities and insight, yet further confirmation of an unknown event once occurring. The tallest and oldest of obelisks across the globe often lay topple as if hit by a wave. Could this reinforce the argument of their indeed once being the Great Deluge? One with enough force to topple these multi-ton monuments worldwide? One here's are classified as Neolithic Monuments, some of which, although rarely discussed, weigh sometimes over a hundred times. This may indeed be part of the reason they are rarely academically explored. The most spectacular of these being the Loc Maria K. Megaliths, a complex of Neolithic constructions in Loc Maria K. Brittany. It comprises of the elaborate tumulus passage grave, a dolmen known as the Table des Machins, and the most incredible of the ruins, the broken, or more accurately toppled, men here of Irgras. The largest single block of stone so far known to have ever been transported and erected by Neolithic people. This one rock, like the toppled obelisk of Axum, was of a gigantic size, academically claimed as being quarried and transported by people of primitive nature with stone age tools. It is estimated that it weighed over 330 tons when first placed. The question is, like countless other claimed Neolithic ruins, how did they achieve such feats? How did they lift such enormous stones? Were they, like we have posited many times before, the remnants of a once advanced yet destroyed ancient civilization? We find such possibilities, in particular, the men here of Irgras highly compelling. The University of Seville, working in collaboration with the Andalusian Institute of Historical Heritage, has conducted an intensive Lidar survey in a historically compelling area between the Spanish coastal towns of Caposoto and Sancti Petri. Their goal was to discover the remnants of a long-written of temple, one dedicated to ancient deities. However, what they discovered instead was an incredibly ancient once enormous mass dwelling, complex yet intelligently laid out as if almost akin to modern-day standards of care in regard to sanitation management, food production, and quality of dwelling for its massive population's well-being. A mega-metropolis that predictably the academics responsible for its discovery have not only attempted to downplay the find, but also tried to claim it as merely proof of their original temple assertion, clearly they are merely backing the tale of events put forth by whomever funded said expedition. From the researchers themselves, the survey area consisted of submerged landscape, seemingly dominated by a series of ancient marches. What we feel was most probably intelligently managed farmlands prior to the Great Deluge, which eventually drowned this entire mega-metropolis, yet I digress. They continued, the study revealed a new ancient coastal landscape with the presence of moorings, an inland port, and several large monumental buildings. By combining data from previous anomalous discoveries, the team created a cross-section of findings, and by a process of elimination, they pinpointed an area in which to scan. Yet, interestingly, after said discoveries of the structures, they quickly and simply delimited the entire area without any further field study or investigation whatsoever. Could this rapid delimitation of the area, in regards to the lidar scanning, possibly be in an attempt to obscure the true enormity of this pre-flood ruin? During their focused investigation, they found rectangular structures some 300x150 meters in size. However, these discoveries contradicted their own strictly-followed academic accounts of this supposedly legendary temple's whereabouts. This discovery being the mission's objective all along, yet curiously, as mentioned, any further expansion of the lidar investigations academic funding has been stonewalled. Could their reluctance to continue further investigations on a mission which has already clearly cost a lot of funding due to them actually having discovered yet another complexly, intelligently, clearly advanced pre-flood mega-metropolis? Well, we find said possibilities, and the rapid growth of independently-owned lidar technology incredibly exciting. No other ruins anywhere on our planet is surrounded with more controversy than that of the great pyramids of Egypt, or indeed its accompanying plateau. There are many factors to consider when it comes to Egyptology. Within academic fields, there are many no-go areas of study. Although hard work and research within permitted areas has taught us a great deal about the previous 4,000 years of the site's inhabitants, yet regardless of the most astute academic thesis, there remains three proverbially large elephants in the room. When it comes to a full or even a mere fraction of an explanation in regards to the origin of these seemingly impossibly huge pyramids remains patiently absent. No accounts, illustrations of any kind from the era exists. It is simply illogical, especially when one considers the sheer feet these structures must have been. We have presented many previous features, polygonal masonry being present on the pyramids, eroded yet younger casing stones protecting inner megaliths, clearly of a tremendous age. Salt sediment found encrusting the lower chambers, and so on, suggesting not only that the pyramids are much older than currently claimed, but were pre-flood ruins. Thus, questions arise. Just how old are the great pyramids? In addition to our study of the pyramids, we have also in the past asserted that the Sphinx was originally a lion, which interestingly correlates to the following hypothesis with fascinating accuracy. The Orion Theory The coincidence with pyramids aligned with Orion's belt and other significant constellational positions. Bavall and Hancock support the theory, believing the great Sphinx was begun in 10,500 BC, creating reference to the constellation of Leo and the orientation of the entire complex with the Nile River and even Milky Way, claimed by them as connected respectively. Zeptepi, using similar methodology, put the age at over 13,000 years. These are clearly astonishing proposals, but the current paradigm for their chronology, we feel, is far too short a time span, and due to our own research, which has uncovered evidence indicative of pre-flood origins, copper tools for such an accomplishment amere insult to intelligence. Yet thankfully, due to these various takes on events, their age remains highly contested, and to us, a mystery which is incredibly compelling.
