10,000 Years Is the Minimum. The Real Age of the Sphinx May Go Much Further Back.

The water erosion visible on the Sphinx is not a minor detail or a contested footnote. It is a geological clock - and Randall reads it directly. The last time significant rainfall occurred in the region of the Giza Plateau was approximately 10,000 years ago. If the erosion pattern on the Sphinx was produced by water rather than wind and sand, as the evidence strongly suggests, then the structure has to be at least that old. Randall states he is 100% on board with that minimum date.

The emphasis, however, is on the word minimum. Randall’s position is that the Sphinx is much, much older than 10,000 years - placing it potentially in the same company as the most ancient megalithic remains he has encountered in his exploration, including the extraordinary stonework at Baalbek. The rainfall record gives a floor. The geology, the construction style, and the broader context of what Randall has been finding across multiple ancient sites suggest the ceiling is considerably higher than mainstream archaeology has ever been willing to acknowledge. The Sphinx was not built at the dawn of Egyptian civilization. It may have been ancient even to the ancient Egyptians.
