Reviews for Origins of the Sphinx: Celestial Guardian of Pre-Pharaonic Civilization
For a quarter-century, Schoch's analysis of weathering at Giza and Bauval's archaeoastronomic discoveries have challenged the consensus on prehistory, not merely of Egypt but of the world. This book expertly summarizes their case and its triumphant vindication in the 12,000-year-old sanctuary of Goebekli Tepe.
