Uncharted Secrets Unveiled: Scientists Discover Evidence on Great Sphinx’s Origins

The Great Sphinx of Giza is an ancient monument of immense historical significance, yet what is less known is its source of inspiration and potential origin. Now a team of scientists have put forward evidence of a novel storyline that possibly describes the true history of the Sphinx.

The research, conducted by the Geological Society of America, has revealed powerful geological and archaeological evidence to suggest that the monument may have been constructed in the area of the Anubis Mountain, now known as Gebel el-Silsileh. This location marks the beginning of the Nile Valley and the sprawling region of the Great Plains of Africa that is believed to be the earliest source of Nile flooding.

This striking evidence also supports the hypothesis that the Sphinx was sculpted in the late Eocene to early Pleistocene period, which was the time period when the plains were formed and the Nile Valley began to form. This means that it is possible that the Great Sphinx of Giza is the oldest monument of its kind ever discovered.

The research team has also identified a large rock formation that demonstrates the skills of the ancient Egyptians in sculpting limestone. Located in the middle of what is now the village of Gebel el-Silsileh, the formation has been dubbed the “Hieracos’ Sphinx”, as it is strikingly similar in size and shape to the Great Sphinx.

Moreover, the team has proposed an exact date of construction for the Great Sphinx of Giza. Using the hieroglyphic inscriptions on the monument, the team was able to determine that the Sphinx was founded between 1725 BCE and 1512 BCE. This timeframe likely corresponds with the period in which the Middle Kingdom of Egypt was in power.

The scientists are confident that their findings, if proven to be accurate, will not only shed light on the origin of the Great Sphinx but also provide important clues to the construction and design of other sites in the Nile Valley. Further research is needed to support these claims and the team is asking additional experts of Ancient Egyptian mythology to corroborate their findings.

Despite the fact that it remains a subject of debate, the team’s research and findings have uncovered intriguing evidence that supports a potential and much-anticipated Great Sphinx origin story. Such groundbreaking research adds to the enigma and excitement that already surround the World Wonder of Giza.
