Everybody interested in finding the true history of the Giza pyramids and The Sphinx, will have no doubt heard the theory proposed by Geology professor, Robert Schoch and the late, great John Anthony West, that The Sphinx was originally a lion that was subject to water erosion. The theory states that this could only have happened between 5,000 and 10,500 BC, a time period that is far earlier than the orthodox date attributed to the construction of the Sphinx, which is 2558 to 2532 BC.

Robert Temple, in his book The Sphinx Mystery, believes the Sphinx was carved as Anubis in the Old Kingdom, whilst Geologist Colin Reader agrees with Robert Schoch, that The Sphinx pre-dates the orthodox date, but only by hundreds and not thousands of years.

In this video, I give my own hypothesis regarding the timeline of the development of the Giza Plateau.
