The Real Age of the Sphinx

The document analyses the astronomical alignments of the Great Sphinx of Giza, particularly its eastward gaze aligning with the constellation Leo and the star Regulus at the winter solstice around 2570 BCE, supporting the mainstream Egyptological dating of the Sphinx to the 4th Dynasty under Pharaoh Khafre, and refutes alternative theories proposing a much older date (~10,500 BCE) by integrating archaeological, geological, and astronomical evidence that demonstrates the Sphinx’s alignment with celestial events pertinent to the Old Kingdom era, its integration into Khafre’s pyramid complex, and the use of stellar markers like Draco’s Thuban for navigation and calendrical regulation, concluding that the Sphinx is a product of ancient Egyptian ingenuity and astronomical knowledge rather than a relic of a lost prehistoric civilization .
