Alternative Researchers Claim Water Erosion Proves Sphinx Thousands of Years Older

What was said

"There is scientific evidence that dates the Great Sphinx back several thousand years earlier. The water erosion around the limestone enclosure shows the last time the Nile Delta region had significant rainfall was like 7,000 BC, well over 9,000 years ago."

Jimmy Corsetti presented controversial claims that water erosion patterns on the Sphinx enclosure indicate construction dating to at least 7,000 BC, several millennia before mainstream Egyptology dates the monument. He argued the scientific evidence of water versus wind erosion is tangible and contradicts the accepted timeline, suggesting the Sphinx predates dynastic Egypt. Hawass rejected these claims, though the debate highlights ongoing tension between traditional and alternative archaeological interpretations.
