Abstract

This chapter explores the idea that the Sphinx might be a few thousand years older. This is due to the Sphinx's obvious indications of deterioration. The effects of the earth's axis precession on weather were taken into account to establish the facts. It was found that the precession just moves the weather toward the earlier months of the year; it has no effect on the weather's intensity. The movement of the earth's plate over millions of years can cause a shift in latitude, which can result in a change in the weather's intensity. This possibility not being present in our study leads to the conclusion that the Sphinx's age cannot be changed to 7000 BC, as many researchers have proposed.
