Age of the Sphinx

An astrological theory for the true age of the Sphinx

     Current theory by Egyptologists believe that the Sphinx was built in 2500 BC by Pharaoh Chephren, who is identified with the Second Pyramid at Giza. He was the son of Cheops who is the recognized builder of the Great Pyramid. Recent geological testing suggested that the vertical weathering on the side of the Sphinx was done by torrential rains concluding that it was built at a time when such rains were common in Giza. Traditional Egyptologists are in agreement that such rains occurred and stopped thousands of years before the time of Chephren. The particular weathering on the Sphinx is also not on any of the other monuments on the Giza plateau that were built around 4,500 years ago. The Sphinx has the head of a man and the body of a lion. The lion is the symbol for the astrological sign of Leo. Nearly 13,000 years ago the star that rose with the Sun on the day of the vernal equinox was not Aries, but Regulus. Regulus is a star in the constellation of Leo which was rising from about 10,800 BC to 8,100 BC. This period is called the “Age of Leo.” Could the Sphinx have been built to honor and placed directly east facing the rising Leo constellation each morning during the “Age of Leo” and not during the close of the “Age of Taurus” which is the symbol of the bull as traditionally accepted? To comprehend the ‘ages’ you need to understand that it takes 25,800 years for the Earth’s axis to complete one clockwise circle, like the motion of a spinning top. This cycle of our planet is referred to as the Platonic Year, named after Plato, or the precession of the equinoxes or also the Great Year. The Platonic cycle causes a slow backwards movement of the sun’s apparent position in the zodiac when viewed on successive vernal equinoxes. There are twelve constellations of the zodiac that were studied by the Greek, Hindu, Persian, Egyptian, Chaldean, Hebrew, and Chinese astronomers. The sun’s apparent position moves a little bit west in a constellation when observed on the same day each year, it takes the equinox sun approximately 2,150 years to transit one of the twelve constellations during its 25,800 year journey around the zodiac. The Vatican informs us every Christmas Eve, when it reads the Calens (calendar) from Rome, that it was the sixth age or the Piscean Age when Jesus, the fisherman, was born 2,000 years ago. Therefore, the “Age of Leo” has been designated as the first age of the our present Great Year of approximately 25,800 years. We are now in the dawn of the new “Age of Aquarius.” Aquarius marks the half way point of our current Great Year, but definitely the half way point from the age of Leo. When the moon is full each month it is in the culmination of its 28 day cycle The half way point of any planetary cycle has always been a time when the lesson is being challenged or revealed. And so, our new age of Aquarius is the culmination from the age of Leo when secrets of that time that the Egyptians worshipped may come to light. Edgar Cayce prophesied many times that the Sphinx had been built in 10,500 BC and the survivors of Atlantis had concealed beneath it a “Hall of Records” containing all the wisdom of their lost civilization and the true history of the human race. Cayce also prophesied that this Hall of Records would be rediscovered and opened between 1996 and 1998. In 10,500 BC the alignment of the heavens clearly lined up with the Giza Plateau, even the location of the Hall of Records was in perfect alignment with the stars. It is time astrologically speaking for the mysteries of ancient Egypt to be revealed.
