Geologists have identified substantial water erosion patterns on the Squinx.
The necessary rain events in the area stopped around 10k BC, therefore the Squinx must be at least that old.

The megalithic valley temple is build with limestone quarried from the Squinx building site. It shows the same erosion patterns and was faced with smaller granite AFTER the erosion was already there.

Therefore building activity later than 3000BC was likely restoration and extension of the much older monuments.

Egyptologists are in denial about it, because they would have to admit that they were spreading bullshit for all of their academic careers.

Like I said, there was restoration work going on.

No it's not, wind erosion shows other patterns
The vertical water erosion are best observed in the enclosure of the Squinx
The water erosion theory was postulated by Anthony West and uniformly accepted when presented at a geologist conference.

I've heard the erosion hypothesis is not commonly accepted for a number of reason, one being that Egypt was wetter in the past.

>>3209616
The water erosion hypothesis is not accepted by egyptologists like Hawass, with the argument that "we found some stuff at the same place that's from khafra" and "we didn't find anything else that we think is that old"

The dating of the valley temple rests on the evidence that they found a statue of Khafre inside.
The thought that the temple might have been already there and he simply did a bit of decoration doesn't seem to have crossed their minds.

Pretty much every geologist that was asked about the erosion pattern said "yeah, that's from rain"
It also completely ignores new evidence like >>3208824 that shows there have been cultures in neighbouring regions doing megalithic construction far earlier than previously thought.

Another argument supporting an older Squinx is connecting it to the stars. It is aligned to due east, staring directly at the sunrise at the spring equinox.

It would be logical that the form of the Squinx (a lion) would be connected to the astrological age of leo ~10k to 8k BC, when the sun at the equinox used to rise in the house of leo.

The stars were of great importance to the ancients and we see a lot of mythical symbolism change with the ages.

You are wrong. Indoeuropean people at the time had more influence between all the cultures over there, also europeans reached europe thousands of years after indoeuropeans already settled on the middle-east and anatolian lands.

What? If Egypt was more wet then that increases the erosion and shortens the amount of time it takes to erode the base of the sphinx. I was actually taking a Historical Geology class and my professor mentioned this exact thing >>3209616

From what I've read it was just a Thracian well and a lot of people are memeing and wewuzing that it has some supposed connection to other cultures.
If you click for the Bulgarian version of the article you'll see a lot of pictures before and after the restoration, and you'll see it has almost nothing in common with the said site in Sardinia.

Just to clarify, what you posted, Provadia, has neolithic layers, but the peeriod you posted falls under the chalcholithic, according to Bulgarian chronology. Still a mighty interesting site - a prehistoric tell, whixh has a Thracian burial mound on top of it.

1200 BC is late bronze age. All serios scholars nowadays talk of Thracians only after 7-6th century BC. There was a trend in socialist Bulgaria to identify the late bronze age poeples as Thracians.

>>3212839
Also, there's a medieval fortress above the well, so it's very likely the structure is a medieval well.

That's not really a good line of reasoning, and no, the well is confirmed to be from the late bronze age by the pottery found there and by the archaeologists who excavated the site

Plovdiv, 6000BC, settlement was discovered on Nebet Tepe underneath a roman castra. The city was continuously inhabited since 4500BC, making it the oldest continuously inhabited city in continental Europe.

>>3213245
What?

4500 bc or 6000 bc?

make up your mind

Not him but dating stone structures is notoriously difficult.
It's usually done by associated discoveries, like organic material that can be carbon dated.
Even then it only tells you a minimum age, since the structures could already be old when your dated material arrived at the site.

>>3213259
nords were settled there at that time not picts or scots or whatever.

>>3213324

Nords is not an ethnicity

I didn't explain it very well now did I? Around 6000BC there was a settlement atop Nebet Tepe, there are a lot of carbon dated finds from the period, pottery, tools even jewelry. However there are absolutely no discovered finds from 5500BC to 4500BC. Since 4500 there are dated artifacts going all the way to today. So the earliest settlement on the site is from 6000BC but it has been continuously inhabited since 4500BC.
