Ok, I have a great question, but it might be very controversial for them.... What is their opinion on the Sphinx water erosion theory posited by Dr. Robert Schoch - a geologist from the U.S. who posits that the wall surrounding the Sphinx shows clear signs of water erosion. (which wouldn't be possible unless the enclosure was around 10k years ago when the Sahara was much wetter. I have heard Dr. Hawas say that it is from wind. Is that also their belief? Thanks either way for using this medium to answer questions!

The Sphinx's limestone consists of layers with different resistance to wind erosion, which explains the uneven deterioration apparent in the Sphinx's body. The lower part, including the legs, is made of solid rock, while the rest of the Sphinx's body up to its neck is made of softer layers that have been subject to disintegration. So the wind did play a big role but during the last Restoration works they found out that some of the big stones have fallen Because of the formation of groundwater under the statue So it is both but mostly wind. also don't forget the fact that sphinx was buried in sands In the years before 1400 BC. This also made the same effect that water Does In corrosion!

So do they have even the slightest even tiniest hint of a belief that maybe Egyptian history is much older than current history suggests? I think some of the granite work from ancient egypt shows signs of machine work. Especially at Karnak. There are 2 completely different styles evident. Some pillars that are very polished and refined (made of hard granite) and then a bunch if limestone pillars that to me look like imitations. Almost like a more advanced culture existed beforehand, created impressive granite works and then thousands of years later, a more primitive culture found it and tried to recreate it to the best of their ability using sandstone. Some of the granite vases from the step pyramid are so perfect symmetrically that they’ve been mapped with computers and shit. Not the most academic resolve I know lol. Thanks so much for doing this. Gonna share to raise attention!

There is a belief for some historians that Egyptian history goes back to 40k years But we only know the last 7k due to The "Turin" papyrus, located in Italy and taking its title from the name of the Italian city, indicates the lost history of Egypt. The Turin Papyrus reveals the lost history of Egypt, which dates back to 33 thousand years BC. It explains that “the followers of Horus, or as the ancient Egyptians called them (Shamsu Hur), is an expression that appeared for the first time on the Turin Papyrus when it mentioned the rulers who ruled before the First Dynasty, and the papyrus gave them a ruling period of 13,420 years, and it means the ruling figures who ruled Egypt.
