'''''The Message of the Sphinx: A Quest for the Hidden Legacy of Mankind''''' ('''''Keeper of Genesis''''' in the United Kingdom) is a book written by [[Graham Hancock]] and [[Robert Bauval]] in 1996 which argues that the creation of the [[Great Sphinx of Giza|Sphinx]] and [[Giza Necropolis|Pyramids]] occurred as far back as [[Paleolithic|10,500 BC]] using [[astronomical]] data. |
|||
==Overview== |
|||
Working from the premise that the Giza complex encodes a message, the book begins with the [[Sphinx water erosion hypothesis]], evidence that the authors believe suggests that deep erosion patterns on the flanks of the Sphinx were caused by thousands of years of heavy rain. The authors go on to suggest, using computer simulations of the sky, that the pyramids, representing the three stars of [[Orion's Belt]], along with associated causeways and alignments, [[Orion Correlation Theory|constitute a record in stone]] of the celestial array at the vernal equinox in 10,500 BC. This moment, they contend, represents [[Zep Tepi]], the "First Time," often referred to in the hieroglyphic record. They state that the initiation rituals of the Egyptian pharaohs replicate on Earth the sun's journey through the stars in this remote era, and they suggest that the "Hall of Records" of a lost civilisation may be located by treating the Giza Plateau as a template of these same ancient skies.<ref name="The Message of the Sphinx"/> |
