Hello everyone and good evening. I hope all of you are doing well. Today I thought that I would like to share an old conspiracy theory which has some merit to it but at the same time is quite hard to believe. There have been many stories around the world regarding the ancient times of planet Earth. Also many stories about the ancient civilizations and how they connect to the modern people of today. Where is the bridge? How did we become from monkeys to people if we go by Darwin's theory of evolution. Even though I really don't believe the Darwin theory entirely. But I do believe that man was primitive. And back then the human body wasn't as advanced and did not look the same as now. Anyway, that's all sidetracking.
What I want to discuss is the Sphinx. Yes, the great Egyptian Marvel where we see A lion's body and the human's head. Legend has it that initially the perimeter of the Sphinx and the other pyramids around it, namely the pyramid of Giza, and the three pyramids aligned with the Orion's belt, and all the pyramids, When those were built, The land was far lower than what it is today. Now that is entirely plausible too. Because recently a United States geological survey revealed that 5000 to 6000 years ago The soil of the African continent was arable and not the desert we see today. This part is also plausible. What the kicker is, they're all signs that the Sphinx and the pyramids were built more than 10,000 years ago. The general belief is that the Sphinx was built 2500 years ago. Now what I'm claiming is an additional 7500 years. And how do I back up that claim? Geologists and archaeologists have found soil samples and marks of water flow along the base of the Sphinx and the surrounding pyramids. These watermarks are labeled to be from the great flood. No, not the great flood from Noah's ark. But the great flood at the end of the last ice age, 9600 BC. Historically, it is considered that the rapid melting of the global ice sheets during that period caused a rapid rise in sea levels and was the last huge flood reported. Archaeologists and other scientists who have examined the base of the Sphinx, believe that the water flow marks which are seen, are from that same flood from 9600 BC.
This claim along with many other claims of many pots and other crafts from ancient Egypt, being carbon dated as many thousand years ago, far older than what we would normally imagine. Is actually quite the food for thought. Actually how old is the Sphinx and ancient Egypt? Now carbon dating can be messy at times. Sometimes they yield wrong values. But they claim multiple carbon dating points towards the same era. Even a simple Google search says the parts are at least 7,000 to 6,000 years old. While the Sphinx being another 5,000 years old. No, I must reconfirm that these are just claims by different archaeologists. And they are not entirely proven facts as of now. So no need to dwell on it, but I believe we should spend more time thinking about our ancient history and where we actually come from.
