Wonder if it was canal built just for the purpose. If they can build a pyramid they could cut a channel also.
Hmmm. I wonder how this plays with the water erosion theories about the Sphinx.
Interesting. I like the map. It looks like the Sphinx is in the present flood plain.
Does this mean that no UFO aliens used anti-gravity to lift the rock blocks over to the pyramids?
One of the weaknesses of the transport by river theory is what kind of wood was strong enough to transport 10-40 ton blocks. Also, has anybody found blocks at the bottom of the river from sunken boats?
Wally Wallington showed that the blocks could have easily been transported over land by a relatively small crew and using simple physics.
There ain’t any geologic evidence for this channel. Just some pollen study. It would be very easy to prove with a series of shallow wells.
Merer was in denial about Khufu building a pyramid.
No, aliens.
Mentioned by Robert Temple in his 2009 “The Sphinx Mystery” that a branch of the Nile came up to the Sphinx.
