^^^^^^^^^^^^ This. And this blows the archaeological premise of linear human civilization development out of the water completely.
The idea that there have been extremely advanced human civilizations that stretch back 25,000+ is absolutely off limits ... a scientific taboo.
is that because there is simply no evidence of these advanced civilizations stretching back 25,000 years, why is that? oh, because advanced civilization is a relative term, how are we defining a civilization as 'extremely advanced'
You mean evidence that hasn't been blackballed from mainstream media. And personally I'd say advanced in agriculture and architecture, astronomy too. Buts as advanced as us or more advanced, no. I do think they would have had a good understanding of math.
what evidence, the kind that simply does not exist except in the minds of people that want to believe

The face of the sphinx dates back to the time of the pyramids. The rest of the body seems to date back to around 10000bc. How that discredits science is beyond me, but apparently somehow people look at this as evidence that secrets are being kept from them.

Really because I have numbers of 9000-7000 based off water erosion of limestone at the top of the sphinx. As time goes on more and more archaeologists are starting to accept the theory that the sphinx was built when egypt was more of a tropical humid environment. Leading to the theory that the Egyptians moved in and settled in that land, could they have built the pyramids, sure why not, did they build the sphinx, no.
Literally the scapegoat for the head archaeologist in egypt for the sphinx being older was that this new theory was "jewish propoganda"

Why then do so many indigenous cultures ALL have very similar legends about ancient civilizations such as Atlantis, etc.? Why?
2,500 years ago, before the Christians destroyed much of the documented history of the world, it is likely that Plato had information about Atlantis that we don't, 2,500 years later.
They are discovering more and more evidence of sophisticated structures that are deep underwater.
The structures in Peru are now showing evidence of construction well before the currently accepted theory of human migration to the America's occurred.
To say there's "no evidence" is flimsy. What you might say is there is no evidence you're aware of or that you accept. But there certainly is a lot of evidence and it is growing every year.

Makes perfect sense in fact. Especially since the original face would have been badly eroded 5000 years ago anyway.
Still someone explain to me how the possibility of the sphinx being both 12000 and 4500 years old is evidence of science today being fraudulent or a conspiracy.

hahahaha... this is the evidence?
limestone does not erode at any set rate because it has no specific density or hardness, it's a sedimentary rock which varies in hardness, the sphinx being predominantly buried for more than a thousand years left the head exposed which was subjected to far more than simply erosion from water, there was also abrasion from sands and other mechanical damage

To claim that thousands of scientist are in on a giant conspiracy is iffy at best. What it is is that there are very defined pathways to become a "credible" member of the science community. The worst thing you can do is to become known or labeled as an outlier. This is why you'll never see "serious" mainstream scientists do a study on UFO's or on whether Atlantis existed or any other "fringe" theory as they label them. It's career destroying.
Funding for science, for the most part, comes from government sources. Institutions like the Smithsonian do a lot of work at defining what "credible" scientists can and can't study.
IMHO, more than anything else, the ruins at Puma Punku blows the theory of human migration to the America's completely out of the water. Yet it's virtually ignored by the scientific community.

so man couldnt have come here before 600 AD?
Quote:
Determining the age of the Pumapunku complex has been a focus of researchers since the discovery of the Tiwanaku site. As noted by Andean specialist, Binghamton University Anthropology professor W. H. Isbell,[2] a radiocarbon date was obtained by Vranich[3] from organic material from the lowermost and oldest layer of mound-fill forming the Pumapunku. This layer was deposited during the first of three construction epochs and dates the initial construction of the Pumapunku to 536–600 AD (1510 ±25 B.P. C14, calibrated date). Since the radiocarbon date came from the lowermost and oldest layer of mound-fill underlying the andesite and sandstone stonework, the stonework must have been constructed sometime after 536–600 AD. The excavation trenches of Vranich show that the clay, sand, and gravel fill of the Pumapunku complex lie directly on the sterile middle Pleistocene sediments. These excavation trenches also demonstrated the lack of any pre-Andean Middle Horizon cultural deposits within the area of the Tiwanaku Site adjacent to the Pumapunku complex

Limestone is errodes easily, sure. Look at any limestone quarry filled with water, have fun swimming in it. The specific type of erosion on the enclosure walls of the sphinx is that of extended periods of heavy rainfall.Quote:

photos would be quite helpful but given that the original claim was the erosion of the head and now it's the enclosure walls, this shit is holding even less credibility and as I had already stated, limestone is a sedimentary rock, it doesnt have a specific hardness like granite will. limestone on the Mohs hardness scale varies between 3 and 4 with some actually being softer and others being harder, granite is at 7, many factors determine the erosion rate of limestone such as hardness and the pH of the water washing over it
erosion cannot be used to determine the age of something
here's an example of erosion taking place known as exfoliation, several inches of material at any time can be removed in just a matter of minutes

so at the max hardness that limestone can be, how long would it take for erosion to start happening to the extent seen on lionman? and what about the least hardness? the idea being here we get some kind of timescale of possibilites

once more, that cannot be determined because of other factors such as the pH of the water that's washed over it, wood ash and even volcanic ash will cause rain to become more corrosive then there are mechanical factors such as sand and as we know from more recent history, bullets since the sphinx was used for target practice more than a few times
so to state the blatantly obvious, one more time: EROSION CANNOT BE USED TO DETERMINE AGE

As strange as it feels to say it, . Water erosion means nothing. Even carbon dating only gives a range of possible ages, something like erosion that can be affected by any number of environmental factors...VERY questionable methodology. Especially for a historian...

I confess that I love them.

Thus, stories are small things indeed in the scheme of the universe, but it is hard not to love best what is our own—hard for me, at least."
