The Argument Of Weathering In Part-Independent Egypt
For the most part independent Egyptologists claim weathering is largely the result of precipitation. Given that Egypt has remained bone dry for the past 5,500 years they conclude weathering must have occurred during what is called the African Humid Period. Which occurred some 5,500 to about 16,000 years ago when Egypt and all of Northern Africa was a green environment. The problem is there is no evidence of any civilization capable of building anything like the Sphinx at that time. Precipitation may come from thin air, but civilizations do not.
To estimate the extent of weathering one must first determine how the Sphinx was made and how it originally looked. Instead of being set above ground the Sphinx sits in a hole in the ground created
