Dan,

I was watching the discovery channel yesterday and the topic was the age of the sphinx. I
remember what you said about pyramids and mortar. What was being claimed was that the sphinx was built from limestone quarried from the pit it lies in.

First, this doesn’t seem logical to quarry stone and then put it back where you got it. Second, the age of the sphinx was assumed to be much older than the pyramids because of the erosion evident on the edge of the pit. What was odd was that the sphinx itself did not show (IMO) the same degree of erosion as the perimeter of the pit.

I was wondering if you or anyone else happened to watch it.
