What is wrong with the Sphinx?

[seemslikeadream]

Yes, the 'Egyptologists'. Very odd bunch. They don't seem to be open to new information. Very closed minded. The opposite of what I would think any scientist or researcher to be.

BTW, off topic... anyone familiar with a book called "The Flight Into Egypt" by Timothy C. Ely? He was buddies with McKenna. Very RI-centric- This thread made me pull out my copy to review.

FYI...

he Flight into Egypt $60.00 + 12.00 shipping and handling in USA

TIMOTHY C. ELY
Timothy C. Ely (b. 1949), manuscript bookmaker, found early his inspiration in UFOs, comic books, and arcane religious artifacts. After work in painting and design, he traveled to Japan and Europe with a grant from The National Endowment for the Arts (1981), training in traditional eastern and western methods of bookmaking.

Engaging techniques both traditional and unusual, from watercolor and embossing to metalwork and tooling, Ely makes books inspired by conceptual art and the mind-bending landscapes of sacred geometry, alchemy, and particle physics. His published titles include The Flight Into Egypt: Binding the Book (Chronicle, 1995) and Synesthesia (Granary Books, 1992), with text by the late ethnopharmacologist Terence McKenna. Ely's unique and editioned books can be found in museum and library collections worldwide. He lives and works in eastern Washington state.

I found pictures~

The proportions as they exist now are goofy, I think he's got that, but I'm having a hard time envisioning how they cantilevered the snout of Anubis.

[OP ED]

Really a stretch if the contention is that the Sphinx was inspired by and -originally- built in the image of Anubis (isn't the concept of Anubis in the pantheon some 3000 years old (BC) at the earliest?). Which would have made it almost brand new when the head was destroyed by an "old kingdom" mob? Is there a hieroglyphical historical record of the dredging of a "moat" around the monument?

no, written records of anything are only as old as the fifth dynasty, or have only survived from then. Therefore we shouldn't reasonably expect to possess any references to their previous religious beliefs, but animals gods are pretty basic, and dogs have been variously important for some time now.

[15,000 years?]

perhaps "Anubis" is based on the Sphinx?

Obama will tour the Pyramids and the Sphinx

well now this is interesting

[AlicetheKurious]

I watched him on tv walking around the pyramids & the sphinx, accompanied by Zahi Hawass. He looked so happy, I believe he did a sort of jig at some point, with his arms spread out. It has been a particularly hot day, and the sun was brutal but he seemed comfortable and talked almost constantly with Hawass, gesturing and looking with intense interest at everything. At the end of his tour, just as he was leaving, he stopped and gazed all around him for a moment, taking it all in.

Me too and then I went to look for a photo!

I had no idea he was going to visit the Sphinx when I posted this thread


Did you hear he found a hieroglyph that looked like him?

[Col. Quisp]

If memory serves me, George Bush went to the pyramids shortly after becoming President, didn't he? I need to look this up. Did the Clintons also go there?

[Col. Quisp]

Here's an interesting website about pyramids, UFOs, and other stuff. http://www.blessedquietness.com/journal/housechu/sphinx.htm

I am reminded that Bush Sr. went there to a secret party to usher in the new millenium.

How many professions do you know of that get that kind of label and exclusivity? Last I checked, "Egyptologists" can actually still be called geologists, archaeologists, anthropologists, etc.

I call bullshit

Yeah, me too. Maybe could be done tho. I'm certainly convinced the head was re-carved, even if it was from a bigger human face of a different guy.

[Occult Means Hidden]

Robert Bauval and Simon Cox even wrote a book with the shocking and suggestive title Secret Chamber. They insisted there really was a secret chamber beneath the Sphinx, and they weren't talking only about the 'rump tunnel' at the very back, with a little scooped-out hole in the bedrock, which everyone now knows about; they were talking about the real thing.

But there was a slight problem: they had no evidence.

The fact that a psychic named Edgar Cayce had once said in a trance that there was a chamber beneath the right paw of the Sphinx was interesting. But then, the world is full of psychics who say all kinds of things, sometimes true, sometimes false.
.

A masonic "knowledge of the secret"-type gesture called the lion's paw.



Best known picture of it though it has alot of history. Anubis has alot to do with Sirius. I recommend reading Temple's book, The Sirius Mystery. It's good stuff.

For the life of me I've never understood that pose of Robertson's. He most surely isn't a Mason . . . well, I suppose he could be a Mason, but certainly not a Freemason. Maybe the photographer set him up . . .

FWIW, the dog theory sounds like a winner. And Obama looked right at home there, didn't he?

While I wait to read the book I'll watch this interview

The monumental sculptors of the 20th century such as Borglum and Ziolkowski usually try to take advantage of the natural shape and proportion of the rock itself rather than wrestle it into a form against its will. The living rock may have been cantilevered already, requiring less work on the undercut. And if it was, this may help understand why the new head was scultpted as a repalcement, because the rock of the Sphinx displays some fissuring throughout it. The snout or an ear may have simply fallen off not long after the sculpture was completed, requiring a re-thinking and re-purposing of the monument.

Did ancient gods from the Sirius star system visit an African tribe 5,000 years ago? New evidence deals a devastating blow to what was considered to be the best case for extraterrestrial visitation
