The average rainfall of Giza today is around 1.5 cm! Is that enough for this kind of erosion in a few thousand years? No! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Wearer of Hats Posted April 19, 2018 #153 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Uluru has been above ground for millions of years, Id hardly use it as a comparitor for something only a few thousand years old. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because believe it or not, people who had been working with stone for several hundred thousand years actually became somewhat knowledgeable about stone. Find some other monuments carved out of the same sequence of bedrock that makes up the sphinx. There aren't any. Do you wonder why, or is that something to be ignored?

Your evidence that the two were the same is what exactly? cormac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harte Posted April 19, 2018 #158 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I'd point out that the sphinx and enclosure are crumbling away today at a rate so high that it far outpaces what would be needed over the past 4 thousand years to reach the degradation people ascribe to this fantastic antiquity.

Harte I don’t disagree with your remark about stone builders, just that I don’t find it relevant to what we are discussing. the bed rock was underneath sand. The monuments and structures were not. That’s why. Why dont the pyramids and ajoining structures have the same vertical lines? Why werent the boat pits flooded? Theses are questions I’m still waiting for answers.

Theses are questions I’m still waiting for answers. The portion of the bedrock under the sand is not relevant unless you consider how that increases weathering. Why should the pyramids have he same vertical lines? They were covered. The covering is gone. You ask why well sealed pits were not flooded. hat does that have to do with anything? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m more confused why the back of the Sphinx is perfectly flat. All carved sphinxes have a rounded shape to the back that matches a lion. it would seem to me at least that the original head and neck were destroyed/removed and the back was shaved flat to rebuild a neck so the old neck could be carved into a head. Hence the small shrunken Pygmy head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stereologist Posted April 20, 2018 #171 Share Posted April 20, 2018 My recollection of the Sphinx enclosure is that Schoch's suggestion of horizontal erosional features being due to aeolian processes is faulty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stereologist Posted April 20, 2018 #173 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Let me help my clueless friend. Limestone is subject to two types of water erosion beyond surface runoff: vadose and phreatic. Let me ask again "What happens to bedrock covered in sediment? " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unusual Tournament Posted April 20, 2018 Author #174 Share Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) @Harte all other ancient Egyptian representations of sphinxes are anatomical correct. Defined shoulders and haunches curved arch in back. why did the builders of the pyramids get the geometry on the pyramids rights but mess up the Sphinx?
