Origins of the Sphinx

Discover the mysteries of the Great Sphinx of Giza in this groundbreaking book. Authors Robert M. Schoch and Robert Bauval challenge orthodox Egyptology and present new evidence that the Sphinx is thousands of years older than previously thought. Learn about the monuments of the Giza Plateau and their archaeoastronomical alignments with the constellations of Orion and Leo. The authors assert that the Sphinx was built by an advanced pre-Pharaonic civilization that existed around 12,000 years ago and was contemporaneous with Göbekli Tepe. Unravel the secrets of Zep Tepi, the Golden Age of ancient Egypt, and uncover evidence of an early high civilization that existed before the end of the last ice age.
