1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,060
you

2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,060
you

3
00:01:00,159 --> 00:01:04,739
So we have been here before with dr. Robert
Chuck is the most famous geologist

4
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:12,980
Everyone know him and he explained for us how
how he sees this through geology and we ha...

5
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,200
who was gonna

6
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,200
Be our techno spiritual

7
00:01:17,599 --> 00:01:22,359
geologist from this day further and what we
want to say basically that the

8
00:01:23,039 --> 00:01:28,920
Horizontal erosion that we see here is not
the water erosion because it descends as y...

9
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,400
It goes lower with the living

10
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,920
And this can not be water

11
00:01:34,359 --> 00:01:37,000
basically because water levels itself and

12
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,040
that the vertical erosions we see here in the

13
00:01:41,879 --> 00:01:48,439
All this area and here in the back down here.
This is the real water erosion from rain...

14
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,260
That never been the climate of the Sahara
here

15
00:01:52,660 --> 00:01:55,140
The desert here as he said

16
00:01:56,060 --> 00:02:00,620
9,700 BC is the conservative estimate for
when the water erosion occurred

17
00:02:01,219 --> 00:02:04,140
This is when when that wizard was not here

18
00:02:05,020 --> 00:02:11,540
It's been desert condition since then exactly
also the rounded nature is up when he firs...

19
00:02:11,860 --> 00:02:14,340
1992 and looked up here said this is clear

20
00:02:14,780 --> 00:02:19,659
Textbook evidence of water erosion rounded
layer and now we know further from the tour

21
00:02:19,659 --> 00:02:21,060
He just did with the Kemet tour

22
00:02:21,060 --> 00:02:29,340
He explained on video that he has mapped
every stratigraphic layer of here every...

23
00:02:29,620 --> 00:02:31,979
Forms heterogeneous not homogeneous

24
00:02:31,979 --> 00:02:36,060
You have a hard layer softer layer harder
layer softer layer harder layer and he map...

25
00:02:36,419 --> 00:02:42,379
Every layer and he can date what time it was
eroded on and so we have come up with an...

26
00:02:42,379 --> 00:02:43,539
Event here

27
00:02:43,539 --> 00:02:49,539
30,000 years ago known as the mosteerian
subpluvial only time it rained that much i...

28
00:02:49,539 --> 00:02:54,599
and I discussed that with Susan last year
that we should have a benchmark here at le...

29
00:02:54,939 --> 00:02:58,979
Off-record dr. Shock said to use if it could
be 80,000 years

30
00:02:59,859 --> 00:03:02,379
What do you think what we also want to do?

31
00:03:02,379 --> 00:03:07,340
This is how that this does this dates the
Sphinx because the same water erosion is

32
00:03:09,219 --> 00:03:16,419
Yes, so that means that they just basically
that the water erosion of the Sphinx dates...

33
00:03:17,179 --> 00:03:19,500
At least nine thousand seven hundred BC

34
00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:23,459
Geology and I go to paleo climatology record
which says 30,000 years ago

35
00:03:23,459 --> 00:03:30,459
But that would mean that it was sculpted at
least five thousand years prior to the...

36
00:03:31,139 --> 00:03:33,459
Exactly. Okay and Susan

37
00:03:34,619 --> 00:03:38,159
These are all limestones. You can see the
difference in here this one up here

38
00:03:38,379 --> 00:03:43,560
You can see corals shells various things. It
was almost a reefle material

39
00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:45,800
Whereas this would be a muddy limestone

40
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:52,960
This back into a more competent limestone and
that is the natural way that the rock will...

41
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,280
Vertical ones are not the natural way the
rock will erode that is from water erosion

42
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:04,439
Whereas this is the the normal way it will
erode. So what we can see is the fact that...

43
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,759
Massive sculpture has been repaired over and
over and over

44
00:04:09,079 --> 00:04:12,439
Probably through the dynastic times and all
the way through to the 20th century

45
00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:16,759
Which makes it a complete mess if you want to
figure out the original design

46
00:04:17,319 --> 00:04:24,199
But what is clearly obvious is as we go up
you see the erosion layers. You see how he...

47
00:04:24,759 --> 00:04:31,000
There's another repair, but when you get to
the head you can see that the head is bare...

48
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,719
And that clearly indicates that the head was
re-carved

49
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,000
Long after this erosion took place

50
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,640
As well there are many accounts through
history

51
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:51,240
Including I believe during the dynastic times
where this which is called the Sphinx...

52
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,200
and so

53
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:59,560
Over the hundreds of years the Sphinx was dug
out the sand was taken away

54
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:03,800
But then the wind would blow the sand back in
so that means

55
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,879
That for a high percentage of the time the
Sphinx's body

56
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:14,199
Was covered in sand and the sand would
protect it from wind erosion and yet the head

57
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,080
Would have been exposed above that surface

58
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:23,639
So the fact that the the face and the head
are not highly eroded clearly indicates

59
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:30,040
That the Sphinx's head was re-carved at least
once afterwards after all the erosion

60
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:36,439
Once afterwards after all the erosion
possibly many times so you can't identify

61
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:42,680
the age of the Sphinx itself with the face
that is being portrayed because

62
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:49,000
The face was supposedly the representation of
one of the so-called pharaoh's mothers

63
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:55,640
He had the face re-carved another curious
thing is that people are looking for

64
00:05:56,599 --> 00:06:00,439
What are called the halls of records or the
hall of records underneath the Sphinx

65
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,240
And it's no coincidence

66
00:06:03,399 --> 00:06:06,279
That this boardwalk here has been put in
place

67
00:06:06,919 --> 00:06:10,360
It's not simply there in order for people

68
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:16,439
To walk on it so they don't get their shoes
dirty, but we've been told by an inside...

69
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:23,180
That the opening or entrance to the tunnel
system under the Sphinx is under this...

70
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:32,919
So the reason why this is called the Sphinx
enclosure is because

71
00:06:34,039 --> 00:06:37,159
The bedrock was cut out in order to

72
00:06:38,039 --> 00:06:40,919
Reveal the shape of the body as you can tell

73
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,120
Also, we've heard that the erosion at least
the water-based erosion

74
00:06:46,919 --> 00:06:49,399
Is at least 10 000 years old

75
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,279
Making the body of the Sphinx

76
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,679
At least 5 000 years older than the dynastic
egyptian

77
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:06,039
And people talk about the idea again that
there are tunnels and or chambers under th...

78
00:07:07,399 --> 00:07:12,539
And here we see clearly that this could be an
entrance

79
00:07:12,540 --> 00:07:14,540
To the chamber of the Sphinx

80
00:07:21,260 --> 00:07:23,260
It's hard to tell

81
00:07:23,660 --> 00:07:25,660
How far down it goes

82
00:07:25,740 --> 00:07:27,740
There is a ladder going down

83
00:07:28,620 --> 00:07:30,780
But whether it has been refilled

84
00:07:31,420 --> 00:07:36,300
Or whether it's solely this deep is hard to
tell because of the darkness

85
00:07:37,660 --> 00:07:39,660
Now the question of

86
00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:42,220
How the

87
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,280
material was removed

88
00:07:44,620 --> 00:07:46,620
in order to

89
00:07:47,260 --> 00:07:50,940
Create the body of the Sphinx and the Sphinx
enclosure

90
00:07:51,660 --> 00:07:54,540
It was very fascinating because rather than
the idea

91
00:07:55,420 --> 00:07:57,420
of a bunch of people with

92
00:07:58,700 --> 00:08:05,340
Adds or bronze axes or bronze shovels or
chisels or whatever in fact

93
00:08:06,620 --> 00:08:08,620
The material

94
00:08:08,620 --> 00:08:12,300
Was removed

95
00:08:13,259 --> 00:08:15,899
In the form of massive blocks

96
00:08:16,780 --> 00:08:18,780
And so that's what you're looking at

97
00:08:19,180 --> 00:08:21,180
We have jeffrey here

98
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:23,500
and the

99
00:08:23,500 --> 00:08:24,620
ancient

100
00:08:24,620 --> 00:08:25,899
builders

101
00:08:25,899 --> 00:08:27,420
pre dynastic

102
00:08:27,420 --> 00:08:28,620
removed

103
00:08:28,620 --> 00:08:31,340
These massive blocks of limestone

104
00:08:32,139 --> 00:08:34,379
from the Sphinx enclosure

105
00:08:35,180 --> 00:08:37,180
and created

106
00:08:37,179 --> 00:08:40,699
What we now call the Sphinx temple out of it

107
00:08:41,739 --> 00:08:43,739
And it is not simply this

108
00:08:44,219 --> 00:08:48,139
Wall we're looking at so it wasn't that a few
blocks were removed

109
00:08:49,819 --> 00:08:53,099
Because you can see the amount of volume
involved

110
00:08:54,219 --> 00:08:56,219
and

111
00:08:56,219 --> 00:09:00,859
This is where we find all of those blocks

112
00:09:02,620 --> 00:09:04,620
Here

113
00:09:04,699 --> 00:09:06,299
In

114
00:09:06,299 --> 00:09:08,219
The remains

115
00:09:08,219 --> 00:09:10,219
of the Sphinx temple

116
00:09:11,339 --> 00:09:15,419
And the even more amazing aspect about this
is as you can see here

117
00:09:16,379 --> 00:09:18,299
It looks as if

118
00:09:18,299 --> 00:09:20,299
They cut a block out

119
00:09:20,779 --> 00:09:22,620
Put it into place

120
00:09:22,620 --> 00:09:27,099
Cut the next block from the enclosure put it
into place because look at the

121
00:09:28,039 --> 00:09:30,039
horizontal

122
00:09:31,099 --> 00:09:33,419
Lines of different layers of hardness

123
00:09:34,059 --> 00:09:39,019
Another block was removed from the enclosure
and put into place there and we see

124
00:09:39,899 --> 00:09:42,939
That in many cases like over again

125
00:09:43,659 --> 00:09:45,659
At the wall you're looking at

126
00:09:46,299 --> 00:09:49,019
Now something that reinforces the idea that
there are

127
00:09:49,659 --> 00:09:52,539
levels of chambers or tunnels under the
Sphinx

128
00:09:53,179 --> 00:09:55,179
Is that as you can see?

129
00:09:55,259 --> 00:09:57,500
It was constructed on bedrock

130
00:09:58,860 --> 00:10:00,539
That's the bedrock

131
00:10:00,539 --> 00:10:02,539
And this is also the bedrock

132
00:10:02,539 --> 00:10:04,539
But as we approach the front paws

133
00:10:05,099 --> 00:10:07,099
There's a transition between

134
00:10:07,579 --> 00:10:09,579
the bedrock

135
00:10:09,819 --> 00:10:12,399
And these which are clearly inserted

136
00:10:13,659 --> 00:10:15,819
And could be the roof of a chamber

137
00:10:17,099 --> 00:10:21,659
The chamber lying underneath the paws. Also
what we can see up here is

138
00:10:22,860 --> 00:10:24,860
evidence that

139
00:10:25,419 --> 00:10:29,099
The officials were drilling into the bedrock
in order to see

140
00:10:29,899 --> 00:10:32,060
If there was an underground chamber

141
00:10:33,019 --> 00:10:37,019
But have a look at the locations of where the
actual drill holes are

142
00:10:38,139 --> 00:10:40,940
So this is about halfway down the body of the
Sphinx

143
00:10:43,100 --> 00:10:44,779
You can see

144
00:10:44,779 --> 00:10:46,940
These caps are on top

145
00:10:47,980 --> 00:10:49,100
of

146
00:10:49,100 --> 00:10:50,620
angle drilling

147
00:10:50,620 --> 00:10:56,139
Core drilling I believe in the 90s or perhaps
after that in order to see

148
00:10:56,779 --> 00:10:58,460
if there are

149
00:10:58,540 --> 00:10:59,980
holes

150
00:10:59,980 --> 00:11:02,460
or chambers or tunnels under the Sphinx

151
00:11:04,139 --> 00:11:06,139
As we round the

152
00:11:08,300 --> 00:11:10,300
Basically the elbow

153
00:11:12,780 --> 00:11:14,780
And here we have another one

154
00:11:19,740 --> 00:11:21,740
And here we have another one

155
00:11:24,300 --> 00:11:26,460
But again what's curious is the transition

156
00:11:27,340 --> 00:11:29,340
Between the bedrock here

157
00:11:30,620 --> 00:11:32,540
And these obvious blocks

158
00:11:32,540 --> 00:11:35,820
Which were set into place they're they're
basically at ground level

159
00:11:36,780 --> 00:11:39,259
So do they represent a cover?

160
00:11:39,980 --> 00:11:41,980
over top of the chamber

161
00:11:42,379 --> 00:11:45,340
And is the front access to the Sphinx in fact

162
00:11:45,980 --> 00:11:47,980
Right in this area here

163
00:11:48,300 --> 00:11:50,300
Covered by the boardwalk

164
00:11:50,540 --> 00:11:52,540
Because again when we go to this side

165
00:11:52,539 --> 00:12:01,500
The bedrock is there the slabs are here
continuing all the way

166
00:12:03,179 --> 00:12:07,199
To the end of the other paw where again we
have the bedrock

167
00:12:22,539 --> 00:12:25,179
The second use

168
00:12:52,539 --> 00:12:54,779
You

169
00:13:22,539 --> 00:13:24,779
You

170
00:13:52,539 --> 00:13:54,779
You

171
00:14:22,539 --> 00:14:24,779
You
