the truth and nothing but the truth

A Sphinx is a pre-flood creature, that lived in the dessert. It was reknown to ask the answer for a riddle from travellers, that passed his domain. It was a matter of life or death. When the answer was wrong or insufficient, the Sphinx would kill his victim. Over time, the area was littered with skeletons and bones. The Sphinx did not mind, nor did the travellers, so it seems.

When Napoleon invaded Egypt, he brought with him a number of scientists, technicians and archeologists.

One of them discovered the Sphinx. At least part of it. The only part of the structure visible, was its head. The rest was covered with sand.

The local Arabs thought, that the head was just a head, but the Frenchman knew, that their was more to it. Excavations started and slowly monument became visible. The human head belonged to an enormous body of a lion.

It is not unusual for Egyptians to depict a human with an animal head. These were images of the Gods, like Horus and Anubis.

With the whole Sphinx uncovered, the site became also accessible for archeological research. One of the most important results is still debated, ignored or marginalised.

Geologists concluded, that the weathering of the monument was the result of water (rainfall) and not the dessert-winds.

The Sphinx, and probably the Gizeh-pyramids, was cut out of stone around 14.000 b.c. In that period Egypt had the necessary rainfall and the Nile reached the Atlantic Ocean
