The Mystery of the Sphinx

1994 documentary The Mystery of the Sphinx, suggests that the age of the monument may be 9,000 years old or even older. If recently discovered Gobekli Tepe site in Turkey is now proven to be at least 9,000  years old, then the age of the Great Spinx can be indeed as old, if not older.

There is a mounting evidence supporting theory claimed by John West and geologist Robert Schoch, that the erosion of the Sphinx was due to rain water and that the area of Sahara desert was once accustomed to a very different climate.

Initially ridiculed by traditional Egyptologists, the documentary is a first entry point for all who are seeking solid scientific evidence on the origins of the Great Sphinx. We still do not know who and why had build it, but it takes us one step closer to solving the riddle.
