It would be way too much work to destroy a mountain-sized statue to the point that it is almost completely flat land where the statue used to be. I’m no expert, but my gut tells me this is probably true.
lol @ the last guy with no clue or no value added. Just a ‘gut feeling’ that it’s 3 million years old. and to him, this article just cemented that (idiotic) belief.
smh
Yeah, it’s just that last guy who is off his rocker.
Just the last guy? Not the “Arkansas Sphinx” guy or the “what if a mercury-filled pyramid was in the Bermuda Triangle” guy?
Tbf the Arkansas Sphinx is real, but it’s a natural rock formation that sort of resembles the Sphinx if you view it from the right angle and squint a bit. So I guess they get partial credit for that one.

Considering that the pyramids used to be encased in white limestone that was all taken by everyone over the years for building homes, this one of the least crazy ideas I’ve seen.
Then you have not seen a lot of crazy ideas. The pyramids are mostly still there, they haven’t vanished. They are also made of easily-removable stones. The sphinx is one large carved solid rock. The claim is there was a second solid rock sphinx that was razed flat.
It’s the difference between claiming the actual fact that a previous London Bridge was disassembled and then reassembled in Arizona is a corresponding fact to the completely false idea that there was a second Mount Rushmore that they had to flatten to the ground so people could get a view of the first Mount Rushmore.
One is plausible (and true in that case). The other is ludicrous. It’s absolutely crazy.
I guess a second Sphinx is highly unlikely but not impossible, I would not know as I haven’t kept up with Archaeology. The rest of that screenshot is limestone bonkers.
Experts think it’s nonsense and the guy who claims it is basically a PR guy for the Giza site.

Fair enough, the whole screenshot is limestone bonkers! Thanks!
Well that all escalated quickly
Clearly the sphinxes are the remains of the ancient true cats that were turned to stone by space radiation after the real trees were cut down.
I worked with a guy that would spend his entire paycheck on the lotto when it got big because he knew it was true that he’d win it. His gut told him it was true. It’s been 10 years since I’ve seen him. Last time I did it was just after they announced the winning numbers for like $25Mil. He was standing on a corner begging for change so he could buy food.
They’re all wrong. The sphinx is actually 65m years old. It was a dinosaur with a person’s face.
