The Sphinx Water Erosion Hypothesis
A theory that weathering patterns on the Great Sphinx suggest it is far older than conventionally dated.

The Claim
Water erosion on the Sphinx enclosure indicates a construction date of 7,000–10,000 BCE or earlier.
The Evidence
Geologist Robert Schoch argued that vertical weathering on the Sphinx body is consistent with prolonged rainfall, not wind erosion.
Mainstream View
Egyptologists date the Sphinx to the reign of Khafre (c. 2500 BCE). The weathering is attributed to wind and salt, and the climate was wetter in the Old Kingdom than today.
Criticism
The erosion pattern can be explained by the properties of the limestone and weathering over the conventional timeframe.
What remains unknown
The Sphinx's exact date of carving is not independently confirmed, but no evidence supports a 10,000 BCE date.
