- snovv_crash 3y agoNo, just the sphinx. Based on erosion analysis of the head vs. the rest of the body, the indications are that the sphinx is much older the latest work which was done on the head.
- tmn 3y agoIt’s the counter. One of the rebuttals to the conjecture that the sphinx is older use to be that if it was, other older structures would exist (and at the time they did not)
- jacquesm 3y agoOlder man made structures. Plenty of older structures exist and it doesn't prove much of anything, that older man made structures exist is always a possibility and even today there may well be older structures still hidden. But the argument that something hasn't been found yet is a weak one anyway and the local conditions vary enough that that alone might be sufficient explanation. Being buried underground versus sitting exposed in the desert could well explain why most if not all but less than a handful of older structures have disappeared.
