Ancient Discoveries - Sphinx And The Great Pyramids (facts and theories in a nutshell!!)
July 15, 2009 by alexander84
I'm sharing this topic due to my very deep interest with the Ancient Egyptians, which is a must read (albeit abit long), especially for those who are very much fascinated by the Mysteries of ancient Egypt and its possible connection with advanced technology of unknown origin or basically just want to know more facts about the Sphinx and The Great Pyramids. I got this excerpt straight from a book that I have read titled : Conspiracy Theories [REVISED AND UPDATED] edited by Kate Tuckett, 2004.
Here goes...
SPHINX AND THE GREAT PYRAMIDS
The ancient Egyptians built their monuments on a scale which
continues to impress even modern scholars and tourists. The grandest of their monuments, and possibly
the most debated, are the Great Pyramids of Giza. These structures, built wholly of solid stone
blocks weighing 200 tons each, have fascinated visitors since their
construction, the techniques of which have been lost to history.
Recent evidence suggests that the Egyptian kings, scheming
to create a lasting and powerful display of Egyptian ingenuity, created the
structures for the express purpose of confusing future civilizations as to just
exactly how they were built. With
theories of vast slave pools, unknown ancient technology and even alien
assistance, the mystery of
and the mystery of the pyramids will likely live on far into human
history. However, startling new evidence
has suggested that perhaps the monuments were not built by the Egyptians at
all.
The Great Sphinx of Giza is one of the world’s oldest
mysteries. It is probably the greatest
relic of a distant past, but one which asks more questions than it answers and
one which could potentially reveal information that could throw new light on
our entire civilization.
The Sphinx is not built out of quarried rock like the
pyramids and temples that it guards, but rather the pyramids and temples that
it guards, but rather out of the unbroken foundation. It has a man’s (or arguably a woman’s) head
and the body of a lion. It is 66 feet
high, 240 feet long and has the most extraordinary expression looking out of this
world into infinity. Most Egyptologists,
and most Egyptians for the matter, believe that the Sphinx was built in around
2500 BC in the time of the pharaoh Chephren (or Khafre), who is identified with
the Second Pyramid at . Yet recent research has shown that this
theory is a little more than legend, but a theory that is well worth upholding
on the Egyptian’s part, for the monumental edifice has become a symbol of their
kingdom.
John A. West had visited the statue many times and it had
always seemed to him to be something apart, something far older than known
civilization. Reading a book on West realized that the weathering patterns on
the Sphinx were not horizontal as seen on other monuments at ,
but vertical. Horizontal weathering is
the result of prolonged exposure to strong winds and sandstorms. There have been plenty of these in the arid
area of the , but could water have caused the
vertical weathering on the Sphinx? Water from where?
by the French author and mathematician Schwaller de Lubicz, he came across the
theory that there were signs of water erosion on the body of the Sphinx.
In 1991 Dr Robert Schoch, a prominent geologist and
professor from Boston University, examined the weathering on the Sphinx and
concluded that the patterns must have been caused by torrential rain,
concluding that the Sphinx must have been built in an era when such rains were
common in this area and that the other monuments must have come many years
later. This would suggest that the
Sphinx was built before the most ancient of Egyptians, before the very first
dynasties thousands of years before Christ, before, in fact, recorded
history. And this unravels quite
staggering possibilities.
The Sphinx is quite possibly the most remarkable monument in
the world. It is quite unlike anything
either the ancient Egyptians or even our modern culture could build. It seems to belong to an ancient culture, and
one which must have had far greater knowledge than ours. Its face is surprisingly modern and its
expression is one of such wisdom and profundity that it suggests knowledge far
beyond our puny mortal efforts. We can
only surmise at what secret the Sphinx guards, but whatever it is, the
Egyptians do not want it revealed.
The pharaonic head of the Sphinx is out of proportion with
the body. Could it have originally been
a leonine head, carved 12,000 years ago to mark the Age of Leo, which was then
rediscovered just 4,000 years ago by the Egyptians and re-carved at that point
in honour of their pharaoh?
A series of surveys have also indicated the existence of
several tunnels under the Great Sphinx itself, leading to an unexplored chamber
about 25 feet beneath the great paws of the statue. We can only surmise as to what the contents
of this chamber might be, but the possibilities are endless. The remnants of an ancient civilization could
be stored here. And if the ancient
civilization was capable of building the Sphinx, revelation of its other
capabilities could be extremely enlightening.
Perhaps therein lies the riddle of the Sphinx.
Moreover, in March 1993 a small door was discovered at the
end of a long narrow shaft in the Great Pyramid. Since then, the principal researcher, German
Rudolph Gantenbrink, has been forbidden from continuing the exploration. The Egyptian Antiquities Authorities gave the
excuse that, in leaking the news to the British Press, Gantenbrink broke a rule
of archeology. Egyptian authorities were
adamant that the find was of no importance.
It would seem that the authorities were attempting to hide something.

I'M BACK!!! and I agree with kirkster, time is of the essence! Perhaps I'm the first Asian to join this group? Ok more about me :)...
Hello all, I'm Alexander from the tiny and forever busy island of Singapore.
I'm a Malay Muslim, currently in my mid-twenties and have been interested in the topic of UFOs and ETs eversince I turned into a teenager. The initial spark for my interest comes from watching the documentary 'The Sightings' by Tim White in the mid Nineties. Before watching this particular documentary my mentality of UFOs and ETs are that they are just a figment of the human imagination as portrayed in shows such as Star Trek and Star Wars. But now I do believe that we are DEFINITELY not alone and there are already numerous justifiable proofs available just that the full disclosure is yet to be delivered.
I was also part of an underground paranormal investigator for close to a year. I did lots of exploration and studies of sites in Singapore that is reputably known to be haunted and I definitely had my fair share of being involved with the supernatural first hand. Perhaps if this site permits, I will share accounts of my spiritual encounters/disturbances. I also do have a few pictures that I personally snapped during my exploration in which some unknown 'figures' appeared that I think I might post if its ok (as I have to dig out for the only available softcopies).
It is a undeniable that almost all pure Asians are totally in sync only to the Spiritual concepts such as Ghosts, Djinns and the Devil. The topic of UFO is still not a familiar matter to the Asian lay man thus it is difficult for me to share or discuss whatever information that I had discovered or theorize locally as most would just disregard and comment that I have over indulged myself in Science Fiction . This was very much the case when I first started to immerse myself with the UFO/ET issues but fortunately most now are very much educated by the ever globalising media. However most Asians still take whatever news regarding UFOs/ETs as negligible but not ME! I'M quite the RADICALIST!
Your Asian Observer
