	Egyptvoyager.com: The Giza Plateau - Sphinx
		Between about 5000 BC and 10,000 BC, Egypt's climate fluctuated between relatively wetter and drier periods, so there were wetter times than today's in which rain erosion might have taken place if the Sphinx's body was already carved.
		But Dr Schoch concluded that only the heavier rains before 5000 BC could have produced the erosion pattern of the Sphinx and its enclosure walls.
		Before about 10,000 BC, conditions were cold and dry in Egypt, so erosion of a pre-existent Sphinx is hard to imagine - indeed, the pre-existence of the Sphinx before 10,000 BC is itself an idea all but impossible to entertain.

		Circa 5000 BC or the beginning of the Neolithic period the small communities of hunters of former times had been replaced by agricultural settlements, with their breeding of animals and prevalent use of stone and pottery.

		But as the Greeks became more powerful in the 5th century BC, they began to lose control of their trade routes, and by the 4th century BC they had lost their northern territories to Gallic invaders and their settlements in Campania to the Samnites, confining Etruria to its original territories in central Italy.

	Egypt - The Lost Civilisation Theory
		In ‘Heaven’s Mirror’ (1998), Graham Hancock tried to argue that the date 10500 BC was encoded also at the ancient Cambodian site of Angkor Wat (the temples, he alleged, were in the image of the constellation Draco at exactly 10500 BC).
		Bauval and Hancock went on to accuse the BBC of bias, and their complaint was upheld in one respect (although not in the majority of respects) by an independent commission.
		In my view, this obsession with 10500 BC has done great harm, and continues to do great harm, to the cause of those, such as myself, who would make a serious challenge to official dogma on the origin of the Giza pyramids and the history of civilisation.

		Although the story of the Tower of Babel is often thought to be purely a myth, there are archaeological indications that a tower really existed, in the glorious city of Babylon (the plain between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, in what is now modern Iraq).
		Archaeologists examining the remains of the city of Babylon have found what appears to be the foundation of the Tower of Babel: a square of earthen embankments three-hundred feet long on each side.
		Believed to have been originally constructed by Nimrod, the tower's most impressive incarnation was probably under King Nebuchadnezzar II (605-562 BC), who apparently rebuilt the tower to stand 295 feet high.

		The epic hero Gilgamesh was king of Uruk at about 2700 BC and, as the legend goes, was actually able to speak with a survivor of the Flood.
		River Deltas Begin Forming Worldwide about 3000 BC Only the worldwide Flood was such a stupendous catastrophe as to make it possible for rivers worldwide to begin flowing at about the same time water on the landmass subsided into deepened oceans, rain fell, and rivers began depositing sediments at their mouths to form deltas.
		If the Flood occurred as early as 100,000, or as late as 10,000 BC, one cannot find a 7000 year (or larger) gap in Scripture, or in any of the literature of the Ancient Near East, for that matter, between the Flood and the beginning of historical records from 3000 BC.
