This will at least confirm the Water Erosion on the Sphinx, and give it a better timeline and change some scholars minds, as they prefer not to change their theory that Khafra (Chephren) built the Sphinx..

BTW, perhaps this will also describe how the Sahara has Crocs in it.

There is no indication as to why the monsoon conditions came to and left the Sahara? What happened?

Sahara Desert Was Once Lush and Populated

...but the people ignored Kyoto and just kept driving their SUVs.

Also, the Mediterranean was once a lot lower as North America was the North Pole and covered with Ice as thick as Antarctica.

Antarctica was habitable. The Mediterranean coastline was a lot lower and thus there were many towns and villages along its then shore, now buried under water.

No one knows what lies beneath the Black Sea. Suffice to say, its waters were also a lot lower and the Yalta peninsula extended further than it does today.

Ditto to that comment

If the Sphinx is really much older has hinted by the water erosion, other conjectures may also be wrong. If information about importance of the star Sirius (the dog star) is in fact true, perhaps the Sphinx is a resting dog, not a lion. Any thoughts on this?

Does anyone have a map of the rivers that use to flow in the Sahara? I believe they were mapped through sonar.

Also, I know that there is lots of proof that the Sahara use to flourish but what is the proof that it was a desert before that? Anyway, very extreme change in a short amount of time.

The Sahara Desert Was Once Lush and Populated, then the Arabs took over and Voila! barren nothingness.
