Alternative Researchers Claim Water Erosion Proves Sphinx Thousands of Years Older

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.
