The most mysterious sculpture in the world, latest estimates by experts in their respective fields give a date for the Sphinx somewhere in the region of over ten thousand years ago! The erosion around the body is now accepted to have been caused by rainfall and not just windblown sand; this means that Egypt had a much wetter climate than at present. One interesting theory as to why the climate was so different and why things changed concerns the shift in position of the Earth's crust and thus the magnetic north pole which occured between 17,000 BC and 12,000 BC. There have been three recorded movements in the Earth's crust, first from the Yukon area to the Greenland Sea about 80,000 years ago then from The Greenland Sea to the Hudson Bay area about 50,000 years ago then to it's present position about 15,000 B.C. If Giza was in effect positioned differently in relation to the North Pole then many things would have also been in stark contrast to what we see today i.e. weather patterns and sea levels.
One other point of note concerns the global situation of Giza in relation to dozens of sacred sites spread around the world.The prime meridian of the world ,0 degrees longitude, which runs through Greenwich was established only in 1884 mainly by reason that London was the shipping capital of the world.It is clear that thousands of years back the educated few were aware of the Earth's geography to a greater extent than they have been given credit for and they would naturally have used a reference point for their Earthly and astronomical calculations. Taking Giza as their prime meridian of 0 degrees longitude then places having names with which you are all familiar with all fall on significant round number longitudes from this reference point.Tiahuanaco 100 degrees west,Quito 110 degrees west,Ur of the Chaldees 15 degrees east,Lhasa 60 degrees east,Raiatea-Polynesia 180 degrees.(ref.
