There is a ‘Finished’ 100 ton highly polished (mirror finish) granite box in the serapeum at Sacra with hieroglyphs etched on its outer surface.

Hawass is a perfect example of how egotistical half wits are placed in positions of power and authority by those that want to perpetuate lies and disinformation. Academia, politics, government is overflowing with these types of folks.
to give you some answer about the age of sphinx , when i was in a tour in 2020 we were told the egyptologist had found tomb around Giza area with dating of 15,000 and 55,000 years that give a possible dating of pyramids at 15,000 and the sphinx at 55,000 years , we can see at the valley temple underneath the granite blocks the same limestone erosion and surprising the ancient builders had carved granite back to fit the erosion pattern that imply the sphinx is much older than pyramids
I'm such a big fan of Randal and and Graham. It's amazing you've been able to arrange these trips . I don't even have a passport but perhaps one day I'll be able to behold these monoliths in their grandeur. Thank you for the stimulating content. I wish you happy and safe travels
Speculation about the age of the Sphinx due to the errosion patterns on the walls of the enclosure predate West and Schock. I suspect a lot of geologists have looked at the errosion and decided that they were not going to risk their professional or academic careers over the subject. Schock himself refused to step out on the limb until he had tenure. West had stated that he had shown photographs of the errosion patterns on the walls and every geologist stated that the errosion would have to take place over many millennia. Until he showed them the other half of the images that showed the Sphinx or other monuments on the Platue. Then they all decided that they really did not want to open that particular can of worms. In my mind the thing that seals the deal for an earlier date for the Sphinx and the Valley Temple is the granite casing stones cladding heavily eroded limestone blocks where the back side of the granite blocks were worked to match up against the limestone.
One way to think about this is questioning how this limestone was created. Limestone is formed in two ways. It can be formed with the help of living organisms and by evaporation. Ocean-dwelling organisms such as oysters, clams, mussels and coral use calcium carbonate (CaCO3) found in seawater to create their shells and bones. As these organisms die, their shells and bones are broken down by waves and settle on the ocean floor where they are compacted over millions of years, creating limestone from the sediments and the pressure of the ocean water. The second way limestone is formed is when water containing particles of calcium carbonate evaporate, leaving behind the sediment deposit. The water pressure compacts the sediment, creating limestone.
Yeah complete denial obliterates truth, you see it everywhere these days ! Even from the comfort of my armchair I can see the signs of fast flowing water erosion but maybe it's easy for me because I live near a river and my eyes are open.
13:24 I'd heard the head of the Sphinx was disproportionately smaller than the body but holy hell! I never knew it was so small until I saw it from that angle. And Egyptologists think that the head was built at the same time as the body? Just wow.
What if the head was originally a lion’s head that was proportionate to the body, a lion because they are symbolically majestic instead of a mythical creature? Also, the workmanship on the face of the Sphinx doesn’t appear as precise as that on granite statues of Ramses, for example, but could that be due to the different type of stone, granite vs. limestone? Perhaps later civilizations carved away the original head simply to fill the order of the leader of the day, like they hacked crude hieroglyphs into other monuments, the vases, and on the boxes.
They date it at 2500 bc because it's written in hieroglyphic, but they believe thats when the head was renovated because the hieroglyph of built and renovate is the same.
West also showed granite vases that have been x-ray and show a level of detail and even wall thickness that even today would be extremely difficult if not impossible to make especially with suck a small mouth found along side normal clay pots of the era. His theory is that they are heirlooms from much longer before of a knowledge lost.

I think someone in our alt history community should make a full earth map of all relevant sites, specifically the lesser known sites, as most of us can't get to Egypt (I was there at 3yo with my parents, can't remember but I like to think I got the download) And tours like these guys arrange, but smaller, cheaper, more localised. Just putting it out there. I'm in Australia, very sacred and special place, not much in the way of megaliths tho. There are one or two weird sites: Gympie, Gosford are the two most famous. But an Australian group could do Gunung Padang and other SE Asian sites. Nth and Sth Americans can do Mexico, Peru easily enough. Europeans have plenty, Malta, British henges etc. Anyone know if someone has done this? A world map of all sites relevant to we alternative history/archaeology guys? Pretty sure Ben still lives in America, but perhaps he knows Aussies doing this work who would lead such tours for Oz, Nz folks. I'd put my hand up, but I'm a disorganised person and would likely lead the tour to a pub for a beer or ten before we even got to the airport.
You said .. Got the download?? And the humor is good about pub. The comment added below. " alt history" as I see when many people who really hit the head on the nail..on the head .. I think comment below is a bot?
@@delarkaBCN I don't see how you can look at the vast discoveries coming out of Eastern Turkey, the compelling evidence that certain Egyptian monoliths may predate the dynastic period, and the discovery of stone buildings in the Persian gulf which predates it's immersion and say it's all BS rather than to at least consider that the near Eastern myths of antedeluvian civilization is at least plausible.
Randall, et al.: look at erosion patterns at Limestone Gorge near Louisville Kentucky to find a similar scourge. There would have been some Venturi effect between walls of quarry and original sphinx wall- if the rate of flow over the escarpment was fast enough and sufficient volume - to ‘accelerate’ the water - thus causing more erosion (think narrowing opening of water hose by placing thumb over opening). (I have a degree in Civil Engineering) I would also suggest a LiDAR study of the Giza plateau searching for any other signs of runoff flooding scourging the surface limestone. The ancient Egyptians were too good of Architects, Engineers and Sculptors to so mis-scale the feet of the Sphinx to its current body and head size. It takes an extreme unwillingness to not see that - a level of cognitive dissonance that, imo, is only rivaled by the spoof movie ‘Don’t look up!’ 😂 Excellent work - thanks for informative video!
Personally I think too many people when they delve into these theories approach concepts such as high technology to mean "things we consider modern today". A lot of technologies that are pre industrialisation would still be absolutely high tech to people who never had encountered them. Medieval metallurgy, Roman concrete, pully systems, even agriculture would seem like high technology to a people's who lived in-land and had never encountered the refugees of these civilisations prior to them fleeing inland. Also it is important to remember that a lot of what we often consider advanced technology is only considered advanced because it was only discovered during modern times, not because it was out of the reach of ancient civilisations. A lot of "high technology" such as being able to use fluids and magnets etc to know where True North is or how to make sure a surface is flat; a lot of these technologies have almost no barrier to entry to discovery. They do not require prior advanced technology to be built to make discovery possible. So just because a an ancient civilisation had access to technology that we only discovered during modern times does not mean that the rest of their world was filled with all of the same technologies that we have discovered already. TL:DR A lot of technologies require prerequisite tech to have been discovered, but there also exists a lot of technologies that can be discovered without any prerequisite technologies. So just because an ancient civilisation could point to True North or build extremely accurately with specialised tools using techniques we only discovered in modern history, does not mean they had laser pointers, jet engines, nukes and computers. It just means they knew something that we didn't know until recently. And that's not exactly an uncommon thing to happen when civilisations collapsed. Just look at the Romans they had concrete, but that doesn't mean they also had skyscrapers and spaceships.
if anything, a truly "advanced" culture would not use plastics, fossil fuels, or any other non-biodegradable material that pollutes the earth. maybe there are other ways of generating electricity that we are not aware of? the mind is a powerful thing, after all. maybe it's time we start using the power of the mind instead of relying on material things to improve our lives.
I learned a lot about the Giza, so thank you Randall, it's always great to see you, and living in Spokane, WA. it would be awesome to see what you come up with again here in the North West.
SO many unanswered questions, it boggles the mind. So cool to see people paying attention to these anomalies, but unfortunate that we literally have no answers yet. Nothing has changed in my lifetime so far. This is one of the subjects that I hope to learn about sometime before I die. People don't understand when they assume that nobody cares. That kid looking at these buildings with wonder in their eyes, well they care.
I am eager to go on that tour of Egypt this year. I am currently working on getting my passport and I hope by the time I get it all of the spots aren't gone. All of this is very interesting and intriguing. But I am a visual learner and I need to see all of this on the grand scope to fully understand. And I think that tour will be well worth it. Looking forward to it
Something you may want to consider is the alternation between water erosion and sand blasting. I'm in Malta, where almost everything is built from limestone - some walls basically disintegrate very quickly, others last a long time. But, here in Malta, we get some serious storms and massive sheet flooding at certain times of the year (Google Malta floods for a laugh - everything is hard surfaced, so streets turn into rivers very quickly), but then we also get high winds with lots of sand from the Sahara. It all adds up to erode some limestone surfaces extremely quickly.
Yes I agree. I'm not thinking so much about the rain, but about the annual floods of the Nile for 5000 years, it should be enough to wear down the stone that way. but it's still an amazing story
@@barredatorix Wind erosion creates horizontal scooped out weathering as seen in the temple walls of this video. And assuming both rain and flood erosion of the Sphynx enclosure, as per Robert Schoch's analysis. Minimum date is 7000bp..... much older than is present day acknowledged
We watched Arthur 2 On The Rocks in the nude in 1987. Twenty years later Dudley Moore was gone, and nobody remembers Arthur 2 they only remember the prequel called Arthur. Times change
I just learned what the word Erosion means. We call it Ab-Shost, roughly translate to Washed by Water. It's everywhere in ancient cities in Iran. I might wrote my name on somewhere on them!
You so cool man freaking living the dream! I’m just a dude from canada and really wish I could do something like that. Maybe when the world cools down I’ll come check you out. For sure I will. Love ya bud
Wow, fascinating video!!! It's incredible to see the massive erosion that has occurred, and coordinate it against other well-measured rates of weathering,.... there's obviously a HUGE age difference from that stated in the current record!!! Every video makes me yearn to see Egypt!! Hoping you still have room in this year's tour!
As I keep looking into these ancient structures, the more and more I'm starting to believe that these structures are far older than "10,000 BC". I'm beginning to wonder if their not up to or past 60,000 years old.
I really want them to dig up the cities buried under the Sahara. Imagine what we could find! If there was a cataclysm that buried the world as quickly as the younger dryas event is supposed to have done then we might find all manner of treasures. Who knows? Maybe even some of the tools they really used in the construction of the Great pyramids?
There was a volcano around 70 000 years ago that bottlenecked the population down to 15,000. Maybe they were built before then by people destroyed in the volcano.
@@natalielambert4378 Toba super volcano, 75k years ago. Likely pushed the world over into an ice age. It caused a multi year volcano winter, and humanity was knocked back to about 5000 breeding age females. We know the population due to the bottleneck in genes. I too have wondered if this is when the megalith civilization ended.
@@ekaa.3189 I'm with you there mate. The Toba event seem like the best answer to an event that could have wiped our almost everything. The genetic bottle neck is also excellent evidence. The problem I now see is finding any evidence of these ancient ancient people that is not the structures we are all looking at. Do we just have stories and the structures? We need more than that.
Between taking 12000 years to erode and no rain for 4000 years and buried in sand for who knows how long, starts to feel like this thing could be very old, possibly older then we think.
That's without considering how long it was maintained for whilst in use. I mean how long did they stand before they were abandoned and left to erode? Could be more 100s of years.
The other timeline thought that comes to mind, is that if it took 10k plus years of active water to erode the Sphinx, it begs the question as too, how far before the erosion even began was the Sphinx actually carved/constructed? Perhaps it was there 1000 years before the climate changed enough to create such erosion? Would any architect take on such a project and choose that location, if the the area was already known to be subject to such harsh flooding?
You should look into Mud Fossils. Mind blown lol. Mudfossil University (RUclips channel) I would love to hear Randall's take on this. The information from Mudfossil University videos are hard to fathom.
EXACTLY what I was trying to ask, thank you. I figure we need a lot more time in the whole new record for it to have occurred the way we see it. At least by adding a few thousand years onto the timeline. I think the sphinx was there already. the Egyptians came along and there it was, a large carved cat with a damaged head perhaps. they recarved the head into the new leader's face, hence the origin of what we see now? Just stabbing at it.
How times change ... (recent and past). I miss JAW. Wish I could go to Asheville, just to shake hands and say thanks in person. (7 months ago had medical disabling) Carry on - Salute!
Those erosion marks on the sphinx remind me of the same marks on the table mountains in the desert southwest of the US and the walls of the Grand Canyon. Could a flood, a big flood have done the damage?
IMHO the erosion has been caused by many, many flood events not just one. Add heavy, sustained rainfall causing runoff; it resulted in the undulating wear patterns. More than one event indeed.
Imagine building something so big and insane that stood long enough for humanity to forget when, who and how they built it.

Who else falls to sleep listening to Randall 😂 he's like the David Attenbourogh of archeology ❤ top work Ben @UnchartedX
My unending support 100,000% to Ben, Uncharted X and the great and wise Randall Carlson! You guys are like water in the desert for me, thanks!
Randall I wish I had a school teacher like you sir !! Thumbs up from Scotland big man 👍🏴💙
3:32 🤔. Interesting that Hawass says he doesn't believe in radar, but he calls himself a scientist in other videos 🤔. Huh....
It pains me that such a close minded "scientist" is the face of our anicent greatness
ffs he was our minister of State for Antiquities Affairs at some point
He's a dick head. He clearly did know about Gobekli Tepe. Ignorance is bliss. He couldn't answer the question so best to say "I've never heard of it". Shame on him! Shame !
Fantastic work Ben! Love to see how much you dedicate to Egypt and history
Always a pleasure to bask in the vast and highly interconnected wealth of knowledge that Randall exudes endlessly with ease.
Most undersubbed channel on RUclips.
Man I wish these would never end!!! I can listen a lot longer!
It's not often, we get to just say thank you for the content, i couldn't sleep last night, the issues of the world have hit close to home, found out my son is back in harms way. Turned on the TV at 2am and this was the first video in the scroll, homerun, and for a solid hour, I was back to just being a student of the world, and I was able to fall back asleep after watching. Thank You!
Its awesome to find a channel that pumps you up when you see a new release!
I love listening to intelligent people ... always wit and humor
Thank you Ben. I always felt the Spinx was much older than 'conventional' science had maintained. Fascinating stuff!
great to listen to someone with vaste knowledge and an easy way to hand it to others. Many thanks!
he has little interest in any adjoining information outside of the field of Egyptologists - poor research!
when are we having Randall, Brien, Bright inside and you with Joe Rogan in a 4 hours episode, 3 programs series!!! imagine that document!
Yo Ben! I haven't watched this episode yet, but I just wanted to let you know you killed it on After Skool!! 👍💯💞🤠
When someone mix the word radar with the phrase "I don't believe' it means things are really bad.
That guys ego is beyond repair
All hail the Cult of Radar
Well, an Egyptologist is not necessarily a Scientist.
🍿 every time I see a new unchartedX episode.
big fan!!
there's a place in Massachusetts on the coast- i think there are drill holes and some possible very ancient megalithic stone. i will get pics and contact you.
much love from Massachusetts ❤️🇺🇸
Yes, please post!
Commenting to follow this comment. I'm from the area too.
After watching editing stream I'v been waiting for this. Thank You! Amazing!
I love when Zahi says he does not believe in Radar🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hawass is a perfect example of how egotistical half wits are placed in positions of power and authority by those that want to perpetuate lies and disinformation. Academia, politics, government is overflowing with these types of folks.
He's a famou$ expert who's famous for being a famou$ expert (sorta like a Kardashian).
Automatic upvote for these legends
to give you some answer about the age of sphinx , when i was in a tour in 2020 we were told the egyptologist had found tomb around Giza area with dating of 15,000 and 55,000 years that give a possible dating of pyramids at 15,000 and the sphinx at 55,000 years , we can see at the valley temple underneath the granite blocks the same limestone erosion and surprising the ancient builders had carved granite back to fit the erosion pattern that imply the sphinx is much older than pyramids
Interesting, enjoyed this.
I'm such a big fan of Randal and and Graham. It's amazing you've been able to arrange these trips . I don't even have a passport but perhaps one day I'll be able to behold these monoliths in their grandeur. Thank you for the stimulating content. I wish you happy and safe travels
That intro music never gets old
Go on Graham , God bless West. Thanks for all the work from Randal and Shock.
"Snorts of derision"...sounds like a good name for a rock band.
When all the planets become visible in the night's sky...Uncharted X drops a new video..!i!
I hope I live long enough to see the mainstream narrative of our history change.
Thanks Ben, Randall you guys are legendary. Love and appreciate both your bodies of work.
Speculation about the age of the Sphinx due to the errosion patterns on the walls of the enclosure predate West and Schock. I suspect a lot of geologists have looked at the errosion and decided that they were not going to risk their professional or academic careers over the subject. Schock himself refused to step out on the limb until he had tenure.
West had stated that he had shown photographs of the errosion patterns on the walls and every geologist stated that the errosion would have to take place over many millennia. Until he showed them the other half of the images that showed the Sphinx or other monuments on the Platue. Then they all decided that they really did not want to open that particular can of worms.
In my mind the thing that seals the deal for an earlier date for the Sphinx and the Valley Temple is the granite casing stones cladding heavily eroded limestone blocks where the back side of the granite blocks were worked to match up against the limestone.
One way to think about this is questioning how this limestone was created. Limestone is formed in two ways. It can be formed with the help of living organisms and by evaporation.
Ocean-dwelling organisms such as oysters, clams, mussels and coral use calcium carbonate (CaCO3) found in seawater to create their shells and bones. As these organisms die, their shells and bones are broken down by waves and settle on the ocean floor where they are compacted over millions of years, creating limestone from the sediments and the pressure of the ocean water.
The second way limestone is formed is when water containing particles of calcium carbonate evaporate, leaving behind the sediment deposit. The water pressure compacts the sediment, creating limestone.
Another great collaboration Ben. Very cool to listen to Randall and his research on the erosion 😃

The whole squad! Good stuff!!!
A scientist saying he doesn't believe in radar, which is a science- because it doesn't line up with his paradigm.
That's 100% a scientist.
It was so embarrassing to look at.
Yeah complete denial obliterates truth, you see it everywhere these days !
Even from the comfort of my armchair I can see the signs of fast flowing water erosion but maybe it's easy for me because I live near a river and my eyes are open.
@@davyjones9562 I noticed the same. Hard to believe he was "in charge" for years.
Hari Zawass is a 1000% fake - everything made by the egyptians in 200 years 5 5 5
Funny, Hawass is an Egyptologist, not a scientist. So… 🤷♂️
What an unexpected gift - Thank You Ben! 🙏
13:24 I'd heard the head of the Sphinx was disproportionately smaller than the body but holy hell! I never knew it was so small until I saw it from that angle. And Egyptologists think that the head was built at the same time as the body? Just wow.
What if the head was originally a lion’s head that was proportionate to the body, a lion because they are symbolically majestic instead of a mythical creature? Also, the workmanship on the face of the Sphinx doesn’t appear as precise as that on granite statues of Ramses, for example, but could that be due to the different type of stone, granite vs. limestone? Perhaps later civilizations carved away the original head simply to fill the order of the leader of the day, like they hacked crude hieroglyphs into other monuments, the vases, and on the boxes.
They date it at 2500 bc because it's written in hieroglyphic, but they believe thats when the head was renovated because the hieroglyph of built and renovate is the same.
Been waiting for a new vid! Thanks for your your time and sharing your views and information
You guys truly are a cut above.
Nice to hear a brother speaking fair and square
I am looking forward to the tour in November. I booked it last month! Love your content man.
great to hear all n input ty🌍
Ben, you need to live stream more bro. Anyways keep up the great work 🙂👍.
Thank you
in the famous words of Graham Hancock "stuff just keeps getting older"
I could listen to Randall for 5 hours
Thank God I need a break from World War 3
tell me about it. Happy to help.
Please make a stop in Fargo, ND. Y`all are a wealth of of info!!!!
West also showed granite vases that have been x-ray and show a level of detail and even wall thickness that even today would be extremely difficult if not impossible to make especially with suck a small mouth found along side normal clay pots of the era.
His theory is that they are heirlooms from much longer before of a knowledge lost.
Love this stuff! BTW, it’s La Jolla, pronounced La-Hoy-Ya 😉 Knowledge is a beautiful thing, you can give it all away, keep all you have, and enrich others in the sharing. Thank You 🙏🏼❤️👀👍🏼
Thanks Ben and all. Always good stuff.
I think someone in our alt history community should make a full earth map of all relevant sites, specifically the lesser known sites, as most of us can't get to Egypt (I was there at 3yo with my parents, can't remember but I like to think I got the download)
And tours like these guys arrange, but smaller, cheaper, more localised. Just putting it out there. I'm in Australia, very sacred and special place, not much in the way of megaliths tho. There are one or two weird sites: Gympie, Gosford are the two most famous. But an Australian group could do Gunung Padang and other SE Asian sites. Nth and Sth Americans can do Mexico, Peru easily enough. Europeans have plenty, Malta, British henges etc.
Anyone know if someone has done this? A world map of all sites relevant to we alternative history/archaeology guys? Pretty sure Ben still lives in America, but perhaps he knows Aussies doing this work who would lead such tours for Oz, Nz folks. I'd put my hand up, but I'm a disorganised person and would likely lead the tour to a pub for a beer or ten before we even got to the airport.
"alt history" is that what you calling this BS now?
@@delarkaBCN Yeah, same as normal history but we're all gay nazis
You said .. Got the download?? And the humor is good about pub. The comment added below. " alt history" as I see when many people who really hit the head on the nail..on the head .. I think comment below is a bot?
@@delarkaBCN I don't see how you can look at the vast discoveries coming out of Eastern Turkey, the compelling evidence that certain Egyptian monoliths may predate the dynastic period, and the discovery of stone buildings in the Persian gulf which predates it's immersion and say it's all BS rather than to at least consider that the near Eastern myths of antedeluvian civilization is at least plausible.
Great idea, any progress?? Can I help in any way?
Randall, et al.: look at erosion patterns at Limestone Gorge near Louisville Kentucky to find a similar scourge.
There would have been some Venturi effect between walls of quarry and original sphinx wall- if the rate of flow over the escarpment was fast enough and sufficient volume - to ‘accelerate’ the water - thus causing more erosion (think narrowing opening of water hose by placing thumb over opening). (I have a degree in Civil Engineering)
I would also suggest a LiDAR study of the Giza plateau searching for any other signs of runoff flooding scourging the surface limestone.
The ancient Egyptians were too good of Architects, Engineers and Sculptors to so mis-scale the feet of the Sphinx to its current body and head size. It takes an extreme unwillingness to not see that - a level of cognitive dissonance that, imo, is only rivaled by the spoof movie ‘Don’t look up!’ 😂
Excellent work - thanks for informative video!
Thank you so much for this interview! Can't wait to listen to it after the kids go to sleep !!!

...for profit.
Personally I think too many people when they delve into these theories approach concepts such as high technology to mean "things we consider modern today".
A lot of technologies that are pre industrialisation would still be absolutely high tech to people who never had encountered them. Medieval metallurgy, Roman concrete, pully systems, even agriculture would seem like high technology to a people's who lived in-land and had never encountered the refugees of these civilisations prior to them fleeing inland.
Also it is important to remember that a lot of what we often consider advanced technology is only considered advanced because it was only discovered during modern times, not because it was out of the reach of ancient civilisations.
A lot of "high technology" such as being able to use fluids and magnets etc to know where True North is or how to make sure a surface is flat; a lot of these technologies have almost no barrier to entry to discovery. They do not require prior advanced technology to be built to make discovery possible.
So just because a an ancient civilisation had access to technology that we only discovered during modern times does not mean that the rest of their world was filled with all of the same technologies that we have discovered already.
TL:DR A lot of technologies require prerequisite tech to have been discovered, but there also exists a lot of technologies that can be discovered without any prerequisite technologies. So just because an ancient civilisation could point to True North or build extremely accurately with specialised tools using techniques we only discovered in modern history, does not mean they had laser pointers, jet engines, nukes and computers.
It just means they knew something that we didn't know until recently. And that's not exactly an uncommon thing to happen when civilisations collapsed. Just look at the Romans they had concrete, but that doesn't mean they also had skyscrapers and spaceships.
if anything, a truly "advanced" culture would not use plastics, fossil fuels, or any other non-biodegradable material that pollutes the earth. maybe there are other ways of generating electricity that we are not aware of? the mind is a powerful thing, after all. maybe it's time we start using the power of the mind instead of relying on material things to improve our lives.
A munch LOVED channel! Thank you Ben.
I learned a lot about the Giza, so thank you Randall, it's always great to see you, and living in Spokane, WA. it would be awesome to see what you come up with again here in the North West.
SO many unanswered questions, it boggles the mind. So cool to see people paying attention to these anomalies, but unfortunate that we literally have no answers yet.
Nothing has changed in my lifetime so far. This is one of the subjects that I hope to learn about sometime before I die. People don't understand when they assume that nobody cares.
That kid looking at these buildings with wonder in their eyes, well they care.
I am eager to go on that tour of Egypt this year. I am currently working on getting my passport and I hope by the time I get it all of the spots aren't gone. All of this is very interesting and intriguing. But I am a visual learner and I need to see all of this on the grand scope to fully understand. And I think that tour will be well worth it. Looking forward to it
Thank you. Amazing mind of Mr. Carlson. STOP THE WAR
Something you may want to consider is the alternation between water erosion and sand blasting. I'm in Malta, where almost everything is built from limestone - some walls basically disintegrate very quickly, others last a long time. But, here in Malta, we get some serious storms and massive sheet flooding at certain times of the year (Google Malta floods for a laugh - everything is hard surfaced, so streets turn into rivers very quickly), but then we also get high winds with lots of sand from the Sahara. It all adds up to erode some limestone surfaces extremely quickly.
Yes I agree. I'm not thinking so much about the rain, but about the annual floods of the Nile for 5000 years, it should be enough to wear down the stone that way. but it's still an amazing story
@@barredatorix Wind erosion creates horizontal scooped out weathering as seen in the temple walls of this video. And assuming both rain and flood erosion of the Sphynx enclosure, as per Robert Schoch's analysis. Minimum date is 7000bp..... much older than is present day acknowledged
We watched Arthur 2 On The Rocks in the nude in 1987. Twenty years later Dudley Moore was gone, and nobody remembers Arthur 2 they only remember the prequel called Arthur. Times change
I just learned what the word Erosion means. We call it Ab-Shost, roughly translate to Washed by Water. It's everywhere in ancient cities in Iran. I might wrote my name on somewhere on them!
One day I'd love to make it out there
Großartiges, wichtiges Thema !
You so cool man freaking living the dream! I’m just a dude from canada and really wish I could do something like that. Maybe when the world cools down I’ll come check you out. For sure I will. Love ya bud
This is gonna be 🔥
Great discussion! Can’t wait to see some of this stuff in person.
Wow, fascinating video!!! It's incredible to see the massive erosion that has occurred, and coordinate it against other well-measured rates of weathering,.... there's obviously a HUGE age difference from that stated in the current record!!! Every video makes me yearn to see Egypt!! Hoping you still have room in this year's tour!
Great great work guys.
I'm loving your channel.
look at zahi turning red and sweating the minute his work is questioned
stuck in the past and refuses to acknowledge the advancements of the future
He's like "Oh shit they got me on radar"
Oh wow this is going to a treat this weekend! Thank you Ben - from your namesake in Brighton, England
20 000 years ago the water level surrounding NZ was ~70m lower. What is hidden beneath the waters of the New Zealand Continental plate?
@Loredan Perhaps some other fermented beverage.
Great video Ben it's an honour to have you and Randall collaborate, made my night
As I keep looking into these ancient structures, the more and more I'm starting to believe that these structures are far older than "10,000 BC". I'm beginning to wonder if their not up to or past 60,000 years old.
I just did some very ruff calculation and that means it would have been built around *3 Ages of Leo* ago. 3 Great Years! That is pretty astonishing!
I really want them to dig up the cities buried under the Sahara. Imagine what we could find!
If there was a cataclysm that buried the world as quickly as the younger dryas event is supposed to have done then we might find all manner of treasures. Who knows? Maybe even some of the tools they really used in the construction of the Great pyramids?
There was a volcano around 70 000 years ago that bottlenecked the population down to 15,000. Maybe they were built before then by people destroyed in the volcano.
@@natalielambert4378 Toba super volcano, 75k years ago. Likely pushed the world over into an ice age. It caused a multi year volcano winter, and humanity was knocked back to about 5000 breeding age females. We know the population due to the bottleneck in genes. I too have wondered if this is when the megalith civilization ended.
@@ekaa.3189 I'm with you there mate. The Toba event seem like the best answer to an event that could have wiped our almost everything. The genetic bottle neck is also excellent evidence. The problem I now see is finding any evidence of these ancient ancient people that is not the structures we are all looking at. Do we just have stories and the structures? We need more than that.
As always great videos. Thanks Ben and Randall 😊
If I could tour with anyone, it would be you and Randall.
What a great collaboration of minds! Looking forward to this treat!
Between taking 12000 years to erode and no rain for 4000 years and buried in sand for who knows how long, starts to feel like this thing could be very old, possibly older then we think.
Probably 35 thousand years as the Kings List states.
30k + thousand years
That's without considering how long it was maintained for whilst in use. I mean how long did they stand before they were abandoned and left to erode? Could be more 100s of years.
Thanks!
The other timeline thought that comes to mind, is that if it took 10k plus years of active water to erode the Sphinx, it begs the question as too, how far before the erosion even began was the Sphinx actually carved/constructed? Perhaps it was there 1000 years before the climate changed enough to create such erosion? Would any architect take on such a project and choose that location, if the the area was already known to be subject to such harsh flooding?
My thought too. We can calculate the erosion, but we can't say how old the Sfinx is (when it was carved)...
It's probably very, very old...
You should look into Mud Fossils. Mind blown lol.
Mudfossil University (RUclips channel)
I would love to hear Randall's take on this. The information from Mudfossil University videos are hard to fathom.
EXACTLY what I was trying to ask, thank you. I figure we need a lot more time in the whole new record for it to have occurred the way we see it. At least by adding a few thousand years onto the timeline. I think the sphinx was there already. the Egyptians came along and there it was, a large carved cat with a damaged head perhaps. they recarved the head into the new leader's face, hence the origin of what we see now? Just stabbing at it.
Everywhere on Earth is subject to harsh flooding with enough time.
How times change ... (recent and past). I miss JAW. Wish I could go to Asheville, just to shake hands and say thanks in person. (7 months ago had medical disabling) Carry on - Salute!
Those erosion marks on the sphinx remind me of the same marks on the table mountains in the desert southwest of the US and the walls of the Grand Canyon. Could a flood, a big flood have done the damage?
IMHO the erosion has been caused by many, many flood events not just one. Add heavy, sustained rainfall causing runoff; it resulted in the undulating wear patterns. More than one event indeed.
Your channel and content is exquisite my friend, a very happy viewer from England ❤
Love all your content thank you
