The Great Sphinx
The
enigmatic Sphinx has been a source of wonder for mankind since its creation.
Who would want to create a monstrous statue of a lion with the head of a
man? And, when, why and
indeed how was it built? For
many years, the Pharaoh Kepheren was credited with being the builder of the
Sphinx. It was the guardian to his
pyramid and his valley temple, the second in the great triad of pyramids at
Giza. The Sphinx was no more than
the personification of Kepheren in the form of a lion to symbolize his strength
and power as King. However,
thanks to the influx of science and technology into the study of Ancient Egypt,
today there are very different ideas concerning that great monument. In
two ways, the age of the structure can be proven to be well over the age of
possible construction by Kepheren. For
it to have been built by him it would have to have been about 4,700 years old. In geological terms that is an impossibility!
The Sphinx has suffered erosion from water that would date it from a time
when it was in a watery environment. That
time was before the Great Flood of approximately 12,000 years ago!
So we are stating that scientific evidence directs us to believe that the
Sphinx is this great age. For
the second piece of evidence, we have to turn to the stars, which was a
preoccupation of the Ancient Egyptians. Is
this an indication that they were looking to the heavens for their origins?
Were they looking for their ancestors in some heavenly abode?
Indeed it is not just the Ancient Egyptians who had this conviction that
they came from the stars. The
peoples of South America also had this belief.
Their Gods came from the sky. They
had vehicles that flew through the heavens.
They even built structures that could be construed as runways for their
vehicles! The
Sphinx itself is aligned to the constellation Leo and originally would not have
had the head of a man but that of a lion. It
would have heralded in the astrological age of Leo and that constellation would
have risen between its paws at its dawn.
This
would have been pure conjecture were it not for the fact that the rising of Leo
coincides with the watery time when the great statue could have been eroded in
such a way as stated by geologists. Consequently
the evidence of the Sphinx tells us that there was a sophisticated civilization,
cognizant of astronomical and astrological facts that pertained to their worship
as well as being capable of building such a thing.
Also the fact that they had a spiritual need to build it is highly
indicative of there being a superior intelligence involved in their
deliberations. I mean a superior intelligence in the same way as we would say that there is a superior power that governs all aspects of our spirituality. In short the religious of today acknowledge the work and intervention of a divine power, so too did the people of 12, 000 years ago! |
