Egyptologists have conclude that the structures located at the Giza plateau can be attributed to forth dynasty pharaohs Khufu (large pyramid), Menkaure (small pyramid), and latter Khafre (sphinx and medium pyramid.) The stone quarried to build these edifices were brought from as far away as Tura (casing stones) which is located five miles east, Aswan (granite), and the majority of the stone used was from the plateau itself. Egyptologists say that a majority of the stone taken from the plateau for Khufu's pyramid originated around the current site of the Sphinx. The pyramids entombed their respective pharaohs' bodies, yet the sphinx and its adjacent buildings have no apparent purpose. These monuments have changed in appearance since construction, the

Located to the west (uphill) of the Sphinx an archaeological excavation revealed a 480-foot long (twice as long as Sphinx) quarry filled by windblown sand. Upon total excavation, quarry inscriptions were found attributing it to Khufu. This large hole consisted of highly permeable unconsolidated sand that would have surely intercepted all the "run-off" water from its west, that would have previously raced towards the Sphinx. This, however, lies in contradiction to the Sphinx's severe water erosion on the western side. I feel this means that the construction of the Sphinx pre-dates Khufu's quarrying, and subsequent pyramid.

Pharaohs who build monuments expected and received praise for their creations. To preserve their reign and remind people of the future just how power-full and omnipotent they were they adorned practically every inch of their creations with hieroglyphics. These hieroglyphics are found throughout all of the dynasties and on the hundreds of pyramids and structures found in Egypt, except for one. Throughout the Sphinx and its adjacent temples not a single in inscription, carving, or any other hieroglyphics identified Khafre, our anyone else for that matter as the creator. Egyptologist's, admittedly have no explanation for this phenomena.

I feel that the field of Egyptology has a fatal flaw. When confronted with evidence that does not neatly fit into their pre-conceived conceptions or dogmas of history, they attempt to de-bunk it. The alternative to dismissing evidence, is the collapse of a majority of theories that they, and countless others before them, have regarded as sacred truth. I feel that this practice slaughters the virtue of objectivity in the name of heritage and dogma. To accept the evidence above would in fact reposition this major monument away from the Egy
