• Great Sphinx water erosion
• Orion correlation theory
• Giza pyramids astronomy
• Sahara climate history
• Valley Temple of Khafre

What it concludes

• The heavy water erosion on the Sphinx indicates it was exposed to heavy rainfall during the Younger Dryas period around 12,000 to 12,500 years ago.
• The layout of the three great pyramids of Giza aligns with the three stars of Orion's belt around 10,500 BC.
• The Great Sphinx aligns with the constellation Leo during the spring equinox around 10,500 BC.
• The limestone blocks in the Valley Temple of Khafre were recarved from much older megalithic blocks that already showed erosion marks.
