In Egypt’s quarries, 4,000-year-old chisel marks still survive—barely weathered at all. Yet around the Sphinx enclosure, up to two feet of limestone is gone. That level of erosion suggests forces far beyond mere wind and sand. And while inscriptions hint Khufu’s workers were present at Giza, they’re still no... show more

He examines the Sphinx enclosure and sees something the mainstream narrative overlooks: classic water erosion patterns. The vertical fissures, the differential weathering between limestone layers, the unfinished excavation at the bottom. It all points to sheet flooding, not wind and sand. The upper limestone was quarried away because it was higher quality stone. The lower layer, completely different in consistency, was left partially excavated. Remove the accumulated sand and you would likely find an eroded landscape consistent with karst topography, limestone grikes formed by water moving across the surface. These are not chisel marks or construction debris. This is geology telling a story about climate, about water, about a landscape shaped by forces that predate the dynastic Egyptians by thousands of years.

Parts of Egypt’s deserts—now bone dry—still bear the fingerprint of powerful water flows. The Valley of the Kings itself appears carved by ancient floods… yet the tombs inside remain untouched. This suggests the water vanished at least 4,000 years ago. What kind of climate shift could do that? And what else might still lie buried beneath the sands?

Many deserts hold the fingerprints of massive water erosion—far beyond what today’s climate could produce. Take Luxor, Egypt. The valley holding the tombs of the kings was carved by flowing water… yet the tombs themselves show no water damage. That means the last major floods happened before they were built—likely over 4,000 years ago—hinting at a radically different climate in the not-so-distant past.

The water erosion visible on the Sphinx is not a minor detail or a contested footnote. It is a geological clock - and Randall reads it directly. The last time significant rainfall occurred in the region of the Giza Plateau was approximately 10,000 years ago. If the erosion pattern on the Sphinx was produced by water rather than wind and sand, as the evidence strongly suggests, then the structure has to be at least that old. Randall states he is 100% on board with that minimum date. The emphasis, however, is on the word minimum. Randall’s position is that the Sphinx is much, much older than 10,000 years - placing it potentially in the same company as the most ancient megalithic remains he has encountered in his exploration, including the extraordinary stonework at Baalbek. The rainfall record gives a floor. The geology, the construction style, and the broader context of what Randall has been finding across multiple ancient sites suggest the ceiling is considerably higher than mainstream archaeology has ever been willing to acknowledge. The Sphinx was not built at the dawn of Egyptian civilization. It may have been ancient even to the ancient Egyptians.

Erosion patterns on the Sphinx don't lie. Overland water flow. Rising Nile floods. Geological evidence points to water—not wind, not sand. That means it predates the Sahara as we know it… So when did that happen? And who was there to carve it? We're not just missing a chapter of history—we’re missing the whole book.

Less than 700 years ago those casing stones were still on the Great Pyramid. Think about what that means. If you were crossing the desert in the 1300s and you looked out toward Giza, what you would have seen was not the stepped, weathered structure that tourists photograph today. You would have seen a smooth, seamless white surface, enormous, rising out of the sand like something that had no business being there. That is gone now, stripped away, and what was exposed underneath is where things get interesting. The conventional dating puts construction somewhere between 4,500 and 4,600 years ago, Old Kingdom Egypt, and that has been the accepted position for a long time. But the erosion patterns on those now-exposed inner stones are raising some uncomfortable questions about whether that date holds up. Erosion takes time, and the character of what you see on those surfaces is difficult to square with a 4,500 year timeline. It is the same question that has been asked about the Sphinx enclosure, and the methodology is identical. You go to the geology, you look at what the rock is actually telling you, and you ask whether the standard historical account is consistent with what you are seeing. In this case, there is a growing body of evidence suggesting the answer to that question is no.

All this talk of the possible discovery of a second Sphinx found under the Giza plateau has me thinking about all the mysteries surrounding the first Sphinx: 🔹Its original head was likely that of a lion… 🔹The water erosion seen around it points to it possibly dating from 10,000 BC… 🔹There are legends & rumors of secret chambers beneath it…

Discovery of secret tunnels below Egypt's Giza pyramids linked to forgotten underworld | Armando Mei, Daily Mail On the northeastern edge of the Giza Plateau, I discovered three perfectly cut shafts hidden beneath the sands. They sit in the triangle between the Great Sphinx, Khufu's Pyramid and Khafre's Pyramid, and may open into a long-forgotten underground world. These are not water wells. They bear no inscriptions, no signs of casual digging, and their geometry is too precise, their walls too smooth, their design too deliberate. Could these shafts be the keys to the network of hidden chambers the Greek philosopher Herodotus once whispered about, possibly connected to the Nile? Herodotus described a massive 'labyrinth' in Egypt with 3,000 chambers, many hidden below ground, which included and a large underground pyramid. Explorers in the 1800s, like Giovanni Caviglia and Henry Salt, recorded strange wells near the Sphinx and Khafre's causeway. French archaeologist Pierre-Jean Mariette mapped additional anomalies in 1864 and 1885, and scholars like George Reisner, Hermann Junker, and Selim Hassan traced a line of cavities between the Sphinx and Khafre's Pyramid between 1929 and 1939. After that, the area was largely forgotten. Fragments of those old reports hinted at a larger pattern, one pointing to a vast, interconnected world beneath the plateau. Now, the three shafts I rediscovered may unlock that hidden map. I came across the shafts while conducting fieldwork with the Khafre Research Project, where I serve as a researcher. Our team, including Professor Corrado Malanga and engineer Filippo Biondi, used Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite technology to investigate subsurface structures beneath Giza. Guided by these spectral traces, we located the shafts, still standing, perfectly cut and utterly enigmatic. The first shaft lies northeast of the Sphinx. Its square mouth, framed by limestone blocks, plunges 130 feet, about the height of a 12-story building. Its walls are squared with astonishing precision, lined with limestone and sandstone blocks that resemble the walls of some ancient machine. At a depth of 40 feet, an 80-foot-wide cavity encircles the shaft, too intentional to be natural erosion. Satellite imaging suggested it continues even deeper beneath the rubble. Just feet away, the second shaft mirrors the first. Located beside Khafre's processional causeway, a covered ramp linking the Valley Temple to the area near his pyramid, it features the same smooth precision and perimeter channel. Two shafts built to identical specifications suggest a deliberate system rather than randomness. The third shaft, on the eastern side of Khufu's Pyramid, is the most intriguing. Its entrance was once reinforced with retaining blocks, hinting at frequent access. A recess cut into the west wall appears designed to lift or guide objects from below. The surrounding cavity again appears, perfectly measured. Less than 165 feet separate the three, forming a pattern too deliberate to ignore. When mapped, their alignment mirrors the three great pyramids themselves, with a resemblance to Orion's Belt that is uncanny. Two smaller, rougher shafts nearby seem to be later additions. They lack the depth and polish of the originals, suggesting imitation rather than original intent. Even so, they hint at the underground's complexity, reminding us that Giza is far from fully explored. The purpose of these shafts remains uncertain. Were they for ritual offerings, hydraulic systems, or vertical transport chambers? Modern imaging, including Ground-Penetrating Radar, Electrical Resistivity Tomography and our own SAR technology, reveals further anomalies near the Sphinx, hinting at interconnected cavities beneath the plateau. If confirmed, these shafts could be entry points to a vast, engineered network aligned with the pyramids themselves. Beneath the plateau, trenches and sockets carved in the limestone, along with deep rock-cut shafts and wells, show that the builders engineered the underground with the same care as the monuments above. This hidden dimension has fueled speculation about subterranean chambers and hydraulic systems, possibly connected to the Nile, and suggests a purpose far beyond what conventional archaeology has recognized. The precision and alignment of these shafts, coupled with their mirrored pattern of the pyramids, hint at a cosmic and terrestrial plan interwoven above and below ground. For decades, the true extent of Giza's underground world has been overlooked, but these shafts may finally reveal a lost chapter of ancient engineering and ceremonial practice. What lies at the bottom of these shafts remains a mystery. Yet every measurement, every radar image, points to a singular conclusion: the Giza Plateau still holds secrets that could reshape our understanding of ancient Egypt. The shafts are more than anomalies; they are doorways into a subterranean world waiting to be explored.

Today marked a historic moment with the installation of the "Sentinel" weather monitoring system, poised to face the challenge of Hurricane Helene. The system was built to handle 16-foot breaking waves in 16 feet of still water, considering 3 feet of erosion and scour around the piles. It gathers data like 3D wind speed, pressure, temperature, humidity, and videos from the mast's top. [ UF Hurricane Research ] #Wx #Hurricane #Helene #Flwx

CNN: He claimed that China builds a lot of wind turbines and manufactures them for others, but refuses to use it itself, barely uses wind power. In fact, China is the world leader in the use of wind power. It is building additional wind power in China far faster than the pace at which the U.S. Is building in the United States itself. So the idea that China is just, you know, foisting this terrible source of energy on other countries while refusing to use it is a reversal of reality.

The evidence suggests it may be the remnant of one. Perhaps the greatest mystery is not how it was built. But why did all knowledge of it vanish?
