re the Sphinx I remember seeing a show about the origin and age of the Sphinx which theorized that the head of the Sphinx was originally a lion carved from an outcrop of rock about 9500 years ago and the rest was added later as the rock was uncovered by either nature or man or both. The Egyptians then changed the head to a man's which accounts for the "wrong" scale of the head relative to the body. Now the best part is that on another show about early Mexican cultures, Aztec, Mayan, etc, there was a "typical" Mexican pyramid used in ceremonies that had two carved lions guarding the steps up to the top that are, except for the size, dead ringers for the Sphinx with a lion's head. I don't know if that means anything regarding a migration to South America of a pre-egyptian culture escaping an agricultural or other catastrophe, or an exploration ala Thor Heyerdal. Or better yet, an indication of alien visitors in ancient times - the giant figures (and runways?) on the Nazcda Plains in Peru. It's not to difficult to see the similarities between early Mexican pyramids and the first Egyptian pyramids. I don't know what to believe, but I do love a mystery!
