Joe Rogan Reacts to Secrets of Egypts Great Sphinx

Today on Crunch, let us see what Joe Rogan and Robert Schoch have to say about the age of this colossal figure.

One of history's most perplexing mysteries rises from the Sahara in Egypt. Its stone eyes peer out of an almost human face, surveying a land of ancient tombs and endless sand. For millennia, it has weathered the ravages of time and witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations. Yet, after all these hundreds of years, the Great Sphinx of Giza remains an enigma. Just when we believe we are about to solve its eternal riddles, the Sphinx reveals another layer of secrecy. One of the biggest mysteries in Ancient Egypt that swirls around this famous structure is, when was it built.

For years, Egyptologists and archaeologists have thought the Great Sphinx of Giza to be about 4,500 years old. However, some recent studies have suggested the Sphinx was much older than mainstream archaeologists, and Egyptologists claim it to be.

🤔 Is Joe Rogan the best podcast host in history? (Why, or why not?)

[Will-qzcy]

I mentioned the pyramids possibly were not built as tombs and the sphinx could be much older than we think on a reddit thread and was BRUTALLY attacked by people who literally have never read anything on the topic other than having been told in school. It was insane how close minded people really are

[paulslater]

Academic dogma is so frustrating why can't they just admit they have no clue

[cjbartoz]

- Before the sphinx was coverd in some sort of plaster to protect it from detorriating any further a wheater pattern could be seen that could only be caused by heavy rain fall.
- The last time such heavy rain fall occured in Egypt was +/- 10000 years b.c.
- The oldest parts of the temple in front of the sphinx appear to be older than the 3 big pyramids, all the pieces of the temple that are from the same time as the 3 big pyramids are believed to be renovation/restoration work.
- If you look at an arial picture of the 3 big pyramids of Giza they depict the position of the constalation of orion from +/- 10000 years b.c.?
- The Sphinx is aligned with the constellation of Leo around 10500 B.C. during the start of the age of Leo. 

Archeologists always thought that the face of the sphinx represent the pharaoh Khafre. Frank Domingo, a New York Police Department forensic expert once compared the head on a small statue of the pharaoh Khafre with the head of the sphinx and concluded that they don't look alike. The forensic draftsman concluded after carefull research that the head of the sphinx most likely resembles an African individual (Nubian).

Pliny the Elder's account of the Great Sphinx dating to the 1st century CE states:
"[the inhabitants of the region] are of the opinion that a King Harmais is buried inside it...." (Pliny Natural History Book 36, Chapter 17. )

It is thought that the burial may not have occurred during the actual building of the Sphinx but much later. Could the face also be this King Harmais, recarved at the same later date...?

The "secret Chamber" beneath the Sphinx is not really secret at all. It was known about for centuries, but forgotten in our own time. It was last described in print in 1953... yes, as recent as that. Countless subsequent speculations about secret chambers have all been published without anyone having any recollection or knowledge of the many accounts of the real secret chamber that have appeared in print since 1672. Published accounts of the chamber appeared several times in print during the 281 years that have elapsed from the first to the last mention of it.

The location and measurements of the entrance shaft are known,  as is the location of an apparent "burial chamber", which has been entered by several people. It appears that no-one today that claims to be an expert on the sphinx knows anything about these previous accounts in print.

A third tunnel into the Sphinx body is located on the north side of the sphinx, and has not been opened since 1926, when Emile Braize opened it. There are photographs available showing 2 workmen stood within this opening.... This tunnel has never been explored since it was sealed by Emile Braize in 1926 with bricks and mortar.

There is also a little known cavity beneath the altar of the sphinx, which today is covered with a modern metal grille, but descends into a cavity below. During Henry Salt's "restoration" works in the early 1800's he entered this cavity, Apparently a passage ran from this cavity, again, into the body of the Sphinx, however, following an argument with Count De Forbin, (author of "Travels in the Holy land"), Salt and Forbin alledgedly had an argument about this cavity, with Forbin insisting someone should crawl along the passage contained within, but it appears Salt could not be bothered and "dealt with the situation" in the manner of a diplomat, simply by sealing the tunnel off and settling the matter by brute force! This brick wall remains until today.. and still, once again, no-one has even thought of knocking it down to have a look! All of these tunnels are well documented, but seem to be ignored by mainstream egyptologists... (surprise surprise). But it is all out there...

One noticeable difference with the Sphinx and the body is that the head is much smaller in size by comparison. It is believed that the head was originally a Lions Head and later carved into the Sphinx which would explain the small size. I believe the Egyptians did not build neither the Sphinx nor the Pyramids, but they inherited them as such. The positioning of the Pyramids alignment dates back before the time of the Egyptians. The Anciant Sumerians I believe were far more advanced than anyone can imagine given the stone work found around the world dating back thousands of years that we cannot duplicate today. Maybe someday we will unlock the secret that eludes us today on how advanced ancient civilization really was.

I'm not an archeologist or any other "oligist" but in my layman eyes and after having watched vast amount of videos and read books about the subject I'm fully onboard with Robert Schochs dating of the Sphinx and I'm also fully onboard with Graham Hancock's ideas that mainstream archeologists who deny this and hold the "Clovis first" line do it just to protect their own reputation. Those people aren't scienteist in my eyes, they're ideologists. A true scientist follow the evidence wherever it may lead, if new facts are presented new conclusions must be considered. Same thing with Petrie's granite drill core no 7 who indicate they made this with a technology we still don't understand, even prooved later by Dunn & mainstreamer don't wanna hear this at all... It's laughable imo, makes me lose trust in science...

[basemgerges]

If Zahi Hawas wasn’t hogging the whole scene as if he solely owned it, so much more would’ve been explored and discovered by now. His crimes are crimes against humanity

[troyblackford-dowell]

It's becoming very apparent in all the scientific fields, there are too many individuals claiming to be the Science, therefore standing in the way of Science. Great work..

[MrSmid]

Why is Zahee so angry and dismissive of the claims? Why are the Egyptian government so secretive. Open it up to a global archaeological investigation

[heisenburg]

Think of it like this, the Egyptians were so different from us, with different kinds of architecture and knowledge and this was 4000 years ago. Now imagine how different a civilisation was 15, 000 years ago.

[kahulanet]

Could it be that the Egyptian's ancestors just stumbled upon the sphinx and built their civilization around it?

[daneking]

Based on the evidence the only conclusion is that it wasn’t built by the Egyptians because it’s evidence of construction suggests it was before their time. I believe there was a rise and fall of a great technological advance society that pre dates our understanding or rather our acceptance of their existence.

[charlesdyer]

A homeless gentleman standing outside Dunkin Donuts posited to me that great civilizations have risen and been erased by cataclysm many times, playing out over hundreds of thousands of years.

[mycommentpwnz]

They are probably both right. 2, 000-3, 000 years after Gobekli Tempe, someone built a huge lion monument.
Then, down the line, an Egyptian king said, "Put my face on that shit."

[Enigmatic..]

The fact that the head of the Sphinx is way smaller than the rest of it points to the likely possibility that the head was carved out of the original head which was much bigger than the one we see today. It makes no sense that they would create the Sphinx and then give it a pea head. My theory is that the Egyptian civilisation was built around the Sphinx that was already there and one of the pharaohs at some point had the head of the Sphinx recarved in their own image from what ever the original head was. I think that this has been done several times all around the world, civilizations have been built on top of the remains of even older ones. We find smaller stones built on top of huge megalithic stone slabs with totally different construction methods indicating that they were built by totally different peoples.

[jamesarooke]

The alignment of the Sphinx is off when compared with the alignment of the pyramids. The direction the Sphinx looks towards is in alignment with the constellation Leo, but in our ancient past. It can be traced back to a time when the constellation Leo was prominent on the horizon and fell directly in line with the gaze of the statue. If I remember correctly, that alignment only happens during a time period between 10, 000 to 12, 000 BC. The Spinx was built to face Leo in our ancient past.

[belsayshootingground]

Man has been on this plant for over a million years. We have a huge history to rediscover and it’s very exciting!

[TheMrSilverdude]

Joes reaction is so in depth and detailed for the 2 seconds you used in this video

[Joshua.Edwards]

As a believer in the Bible it’s interesting to think that the Sphinx predates the flood. 😊

[thatzbaby]

i loved the part where Joe Rogan reacted to Egypts Great Sphinx. He did so in typical Joe Rogan fashion.
