Mesmerising 360-degree view of the Sphinx

An incredible 360-degree view of the Sphinx, its enclosure, the old kingdom temple, the new kingdom temple, and the three pyramids in the background.
Suffice to say I was mesmerised by this imagery, and spent around half an hour closely scrutinising the Sphinx and the so-called old kingdom temple. Of course there is a reason for that.
Following the theory of Robert Bauval and Graham Hancock on the dating of the Sphinx, I’ve spent many years analysing the data and doing my own research. The culmination of that research went into my book, The Evolution. Although touched on briefly relative to the entire book, in fact only three pages out of over five hundred, the conclusions were based on intense mathematical and astrological calculations.
Both Bauval and Hancock suggest the Sphinx was built around 10000 BC, by using a computer programme that shows the night sky during any time period, and this was when Leo was on the eastern horizon – directly in front of the Sphinx. But my conclusions are that the Sphinx was built around 8180 BC. I won’t go into the detail here, but it’s to do with the length of time each star sign takes to pass through the ecliptic.
The reason I mention this is because this incredible 360-degree image gives a much better view of the entire area, rather than just images of the Sphinx. If you look closely, the new kingdom temple (to the front left of the Sphinx) looks remarkably well built, with straight walls and smooth blocks, but the old kingdom temple (in front of the Sphinx and to the right) clearly shows similar erosion to that of the Sphinx and its enclosure. I am not an expert on geology or rocks, but I have spent many years of my life visiting ancient sites all over the world – Peru, Ecuador, India, Turkey, Cyprus, Italy, Greece, and so on – and I spend most of that time staring at the building blocks and have tried to figure out their methods. The new kingdom temple in front of the Sphinx looks rather like the pyramids, but the Sphinx and the Sphinx enclosure, as well as the old kingdom temple, are clearly thousands of years older than anything I have seen anywhere else on earth.
Geologist Robert Schoch has spent many years at Giza and has come to the conclusion that erosion on the Sphinx and its enclosure was caused by many hundreds of years of rainfall, and that last time Giza was existing under such climatic conditions falls in line with Bauval and Hancock’s theory.
There is no doubt that the Sphinx and the temple in front of it are much older than the dates attributed to them, and that is why I am confident a date of 8180 BC is not too far off the mark. This image has only enforced that notion.
