[QUOTE="Harte, post: 132502, member: 443"] It's not a question of why the causeway angles. The question is why does the Sphinx enclosure angle the same way? Despite the butthurt in this thread, I take this particular subject very seriously. I've spent a good part of my life examining the available evidence. Krish I get because of faith. I don't bother people that say Moses parted the Red Sea either, and for the same reason. But when people come on here making assertions about the Sphinx and Atlantis that are made up right out of thin air, it rubs me the wrong way. Especially if i am expected to treat such an "opinion" as valid. After all, if all opinions are equally valid, then why don't more posters assert that Jews are the descendants of apes and pigs? That's the "opinion" of a great many Arabs. Who would consider [i]that[/i] opinion as "valid" as any other? I don't claim to know everything, but I know that the so-called "redating" of the sphinx by Robert Schoch is not based on rainfall at all. I also know that there exists no Atlantis "myth." Plato didn't get that story from some oral tradition. He made it up, just like he did his Republic, the dialogue written just before Timaeus (and referred to in Timaeus.) I know the three "members" of the limestone bed the Sphinx is carved from, and the soft ones weren't used for construction, for obvious reasons. We can't pretend the Egyptians didn't know stone just to make an argument that the structures around the Sphinx should show the same weathering. I know the radiocarbon dates from Giza - taken in two different surveys a decade apart, and I know how C14 works and why it is accurate enough to date the pyramids at Giza. That's not by any means all I know on the subject, as a brief search here will show - even though half my posts were lost when the site changed hands several years ago Also, I am able to infer certain things. Things like this - Plato tells us that Solon said that the Egyptian Priest of Sais told him the cultures around the Mediterranean were liberated by the Greeks when they defeated Atlantis, but I know that the Egyptian Culture was notorious for the way it lied about it's great accomplishments, so I infer that no Egyptian story has the Greeks saving anyone, even if it [b]did[/b] happen. Anyway, if anyone can answer the question about the enclosure logically, I've only got about a thousand more that also show how hollow these fringe claims are. Harte [/QUOTE]
