Not sure what the conspiracy is but very cool nonetheless. I love anything having to do with ancient civs.
Many fringe scientists claim the sphinx was made over ~10k years ago based on the water erosion on the sides, I wonder how this plays into that theory?
Will Egypt ever tell what is/was inside the sphinx? This is really the main thing that I want to know
I enjoy the woo conspiracies. The Sphinx has an age conspiracy. Are you familiar? Dr. Robert Schock is most famous for it.
I’m sorry but what are “woo conspiracies”? I’ve always generally been into like “normie” conspiracies, Bigfoot, ufos, 9/11 and such but have only recently really been getting into the more advanced topics and diving deeper into them
I’m familiar with schock but don’t know a ton about him
Don't be sorry! Here's a good read, he's also given many podcast interviews, so you can check the tube of you want too.

It's a "conspiracy" because it's outside of the official history. The official history that historians decided is real without much evidence. I would have used quotes to emphasize more but it would have been for every word.
Bright Insight
I just discovered him recently and he sorta restarted my interest in these topics. Great presenter and thinker.
I watched his long video with suspicious observers Ben Davidson on rumble today and it was also super interesting

Only Ars Technica is stupid enough to take that study seriously.
While ars isn't what they once were, you can find video of this physics experiment on your own if you're interested.
I've read the actual research paper, not convinced.
That's the fun. I agree with the theory it started natural, and enhanced by humans.
