Egyptologists on the possibility of the Sphinx being much older than 2500 BCE: “There’s no evidence for cultures to have built large stone structures prior to 5000 BCE!”
Gobekli Tepe: *exists*
Egyptologists: “. . . Shut up!”
That’s really cool to see and impressive as well.
What would tools of that time used to make sculptures like this made of? Other stones?
I’m imaging it would’ve taken a lot of tools to create this sculpture too, since they probably couldn’t have been as durable.
Limestone is relatively soft and easy to work, so I presume tools made of harder stones would’ve been used
They’re calling that a lion?! Have the researchers never seen a wild board or pig? Everything here screams PIG:
- Long, straight snout
- Flared nose
- Tusks
- Large, squared teeth
- Eye ridge
- Eye “squint”
- Skull drops off on the back (the rest is muscle)
SOURCE: I have a pig right here I’m looking at.
