Hancock and Bauval thought ithe Sphinx Lion as it faced the constellation Leo in the time they estimated the Sphinx was built.<br><br>Some of what Bauval especially did is pretty neat work. <br><br>Overall I'm not convinced they are right; BUT the whole "New Age archeology movement" is bringing up good questions to challenge convention.<br><br>I watched the first two of the J. A. West Videos and enjoyed them.<br><br>There was a fantastic article on the Brazilian Lost Cities in the New Yorker, September 19th 2005. No internet link I can find. If this interests you go to the library and read the article. It is kick ass.<br><br>Percy Fawcett - fascinating guy - see <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_Fawcett" target="top">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_Fawcett</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br>Good background prior to reading the New Yorker article.<br><br>Crap, doing some internet searches on Fawcett I'm shocked how crappy of returns Google is yielding. This has to be by design.<br><br>My favourite anomolous archeology is this - Baalbeck - all photos below have people in for scale - the size is beyond belief:<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.habeeb.com/images/lebanon.photo.038.baalbeck.megalith.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.habeeb.com/images/lebanon.photo.039.baalbeck.megalith.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.geocities.com/jirimruzek/batrilit.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.geocities.com/jirimruzek/balwshrp.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.geocities.com/jirimruzek/baalbek.htm" target="top">www.geocities.com/jirimruzek/baalbek.htm</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br>On "The Giza Power Plant" - I've corresponded with Chris Dunn, its author. Smart guy, I like him. He's got integrity. I didn't particularily like that book; but earlier he did some really good work on ancient machining. This is top notch stuff:<br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.gizapower.com/Advanced/Advanced%20Machining.html" target="top">www.gizapower.com/Advanced/Advanced%20Machining.html</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.gizapower.com/petrie/petrie1.htm" target="top">www.gizapower.com/petrie/petrie1.htm</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.gizapower.com/Articles/return.html" target="top">www.gizapower.com/Articles/return.html</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> <p></p><i></i>
