A collection of unusual aerial photographs of the Sphinx on the Giza Plateau in Egypt, music by Patrick Leonard/Shenkar - "pudusu" from their CD "udistam". The Sphinx is classic in its structure and form. Its body is a beautifully proportioned carving out of one piece of limestone bedrock on the edge of the Giza Plateau, although curiously, the head of the sphinx is small. The Sphinx of Giza is about 240' long and 66' high. John Anthony West and Dr. Robert Schoch, a geologist/geophysicist, from Boston University, presented the idea that the weathering on the body of the Sphinx and walls of the Sphinx enclosure had been created by precipitation - over a long enough period of time to create the deep fissures and smooth rounded shapes you can see, particularly on the west and south walls of the Sphinx enclosure. Detective Frank Domingo, a senior forensic officer with the NYPD applied his expertise of identification techniques to compare the facial structure between the Sphinx, and the Pharoah Chephren from a statue in the Cairo Museum. The attribution of Chephren being the builder of the Sphinx is partly because of this discovery and dedication given by proxy, reports suggesting they look similar. Take a good look.

  • Beautiful photography and music. I really loved seeing the Sphinx from angles I've never seen. I've always been awed and inspired by the power that surrounds the Pyramids and the land there. I've had some positive results with the energy there. Thanks for the post and I look forward to exploring more here on your current! peace.

  • The music and the panaramas of the Sphinx and Giza are exquisit...the mastery of its design is the most important clue to the mystery of its existence,

    I, as well as some others, attribute the creation of this masterpiece to the predeluvial 'age of the lion'...the flood waters, thereafter, contributed to its deterioration...

  • Its obvious, even to an amateur, that the Sphinx head is separate from its body in terms of timing. These are the guys that made the pyramids, yes? With such precision and craftsmanship that they continue to amaze us thousands of years later. Can anyone say with a straight face that they had no idea their proportions were so off?
