Dr. Robert Schoch: The Great Sphinx and the Leagacy of Zep Tepi

Описание: www.snippy.space

The Ancient Dynastic Egyptians of 4,000 to 5,000 years ago held sacred the concept of Zep Tepi – the “first time”, the time of creation, the beginning of civilization, a golden age when the “gods” lived among humans. Around the world similar traditions are found. Interpreting the ancient legends, this early golden age dates to a remote period which, in modern terms, would be before the end of the last ice age (that is, approximately 12,000 years ago). Academic scholars have typically dismissed such traditions as mere myths with no factual basis. However, my work on re-dating the origins of the Great Sphinx in Egypt, placing it in a pre-Sahara climatic period at the end of the last ice age based on the rain weathering and erosion seen on its body (the head of the Sphinx was re-carved in dynastic times) and subsurface seismic studies, supports the ancient Egyptian belief in Zep Tepi.
