Silent guardian of the most famous pyramids of Egypt, for millennia the Great Sphinx has proposed his enigmas to visitors. Oedipus had his answer, but it was not the right question.
"What is walking on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon, and on three legs in the evening?" Oedipus replied: "Man. Baby, he walks on four legs. Then on two legs. And finally, he must use a walking stick." Beyond the individual, let us see the human race: after a long period of bipolarization, good-evil, soul-body, white-black, light-darkness, will the humankind finally wall on its three 'legs', like the triskell, like the very ancient trinity?See Eternelle trinité
The Sphinx imposes us so many riddles! No other monument in the world has generated more controversy, due to bad faith as much as obsession with conspiracy, where the quest for a scoop faces the cult of secrecy. First, the contrast between its head of a pharaoh and its body of a lion. Anthony West and Graham Hancock maintain that the Sphinx may have been carved by pre-Egyptians around 10,500 BC. And this date, which corresponds to that given by Edgar Cayce,See Cayce a vu juste is based on solid facts.

West noted that the Sphinx has been covered with sands for much of its history. In this case, how could he be so degraded? Its body shows marks of deep horizontal striations that could not have been done as it was under the sand.
West appealed to his colleague Robert Schoch, professor of geology at Boston University, to assess the nature of the erosion of the Sphinx. After a careful study, the geologist concluded that these 'alterations' were due to water, rather than to wind and sands, as it was often thought. It would date then to the end of the Ice Age, when Egypt was experiencing heavy rainfall, what would give him at least 7,000 years of age. (source)
Schoch presented his conclusions to a big forum of geologists, and his thesis has been well accepted. Archaeologists were offended, but they never accepted that geologists tread on their own patch.See Quatre pas dans l'avenir Supporting this brilliant thesis, Colin ReaderGeologist at London university noted that the current head 'of Egyptian pharaoh' is much too small for the body of the Sphinx and that, although it has been vandalizedvandalized,By Obelix, among other predators the face did not alter like the body, which tends to prove that it is not the original one.
Reader thinks that this head of pharaoh was resculpted from a head of lion very damaged by the rain, as the body. That is why the head is so small. Without this head of pharaoh, the Sphinx has nothing of Egyptian anymore, he even has nothing of a Sphinx anymore. It is just an old lion ravaged by rains in a past so distant that the Egyptians themselves would have considered it impossible: it could have been carved during this zodiac era, Leo, which covers the period of 10,500 BC.
We also know that the geological era known as the Pleistocene ended around that time,See Le grand cataclysme that it was the end of the last ice age,See Glaciers du Würm which was accompanied with a global volcanism,See Mondes en collision that a mass animal extinction accompanied this end, that the human population has been decimated to the point that all the cultures of the Paleolithic Superior have disappearedSee L'effet Mad Max at the same time. (source)Hibben, 1946 These arguments, although serious, did not put an end to the fight between archaeologists and geologists.
But the real Sphinx war makes this one a vulgar skirmish. It brings into conflict the defendants of the new archeology to the almighty guru of the Egyptian antiquities, Zahi Hawass. The neo-archaeologists rely on researches of other scientists, such as those of the geologists mentioned above, or that of the crypto-astronomers, summarized by Robert Bauval, who might have found the same date of -10,500 for the erection of the Great Pyramid,See La grande pyramide basing on astronomic data of that time.
Zahi Hawass, for his part, disagrees and distributes sparingly the permissions of visit or excavations on all the Egyptian territory. He has just circled the whole Giza plateau with an impressive concrete fenceMasonry began in 2002 that completes the sequestration of the pre-Egyptian places already started in Abydos by the Egyptian army.See Mission Brocéliande He might hide behind his doctorate in Egyptology, this is only a diploma of convenience offered by Americans.
But there is worse: according to Egyptologists, Dr. Hawass, general secretary of the SCAEgypt's Supreme Council for Antiques since 2002, exerts on them all a dictatorial control, not to mention his concealments, slanders and misappropriations of funds that don't stop him in his acts. An experienced Egyptologist made this confession: "I frequently travel to Egypt, and when I talk to people in government, most of them do not like Hawass and his airs.
Many archaeologists are doing an excellent job there; anyone who visits the country and is interested in Egyptology may realize it. The only problem is Hawass and the SCA. Zahi Hawass was imposed to Egypt by Americans, they chose an ignorant whom they propelled doctor before placing him at the head of the SCA, but he is their puppet." (source) Why this conspiracy? To protect secrets that, like the UFO issues, must not be revealed.
Shall we hand over to the defendant, the agency Hawass himself: "For years, I have talked to people like Anthony West, Robert Bauval and Graham Hancock who claim that the survivors of a civilization vanished 10,000 years agoHawass is mistaken for two millennia, he meant 10,000 BC! would have left some secrets buried in tunnels and chambers dug under the Sphinx. They have insisted that we do drillings to find these chambers. I have always refused it in the past for lack of scientific justification." (source)Zahi Hawass, in a report name History of the Sphinx, april 2009, quoted by Philip Coppens, Nexus (French edition) n°66
Here is Master Hawass caught lying. Thirteen years earlier, on 14th April 1996, he had himself announced to the Egyptian press that there were hidden tunnels under the Sphinx and around the pyramids. According to him, these passages would reveal "many secrets about the building of the pyramids." In fact, his report History of the Sphinx provides us another valuable indication: with the help of Americans, the SCA has practiced drillings under the Sphinx to pump water from a subterranean lake which is the size of the plateau.

It is on the layout of this lake that has been built the wall of concrete. Why? Because once the water will have been pumped, the access to the vast underground chambers will be possible by dozens of openings distributed over the plateau. Everyone could then get inside and make his own discoveries that would fall outside the strict control of SCA. Despite his lies, we understand that Zahi Hawass is preparing a major operation: the exploration of these rooms which do not exist according to him.

Beyond these bickerings, we may fear that the Americans keep for themselves the result of these excavations and the technological innovations they will find there, if Hancock and the others were right, which is more than likely. These researchers have conducted for decades a work that surpasses that of most Egyptologists, it is fair that one day we recognize them for what they are: giants. Let us hope that for them the beautiful Isis will finally abandon all her veils.

And if the Sphinx, with its mysteries and passions he unleashed, was simply in his role? If the ancients had built just for this purpose? If the Sphinx was the master of us dream? The Sphinx according to the late Stef Kervor,Click + was a metaphor of light. For Kervor,Click + the Great Sphinx has never been anything other than a door time.
