Chapter 7 7

One day in July 1998, tourists were taking pictures in front of the Sphinx in Giza, marveling at the incredible ancient Egyptian civilization. Human beings more than 3,000 years ago, with the technology at that time, were able to build such a huge and strange statue.While looking at it, people think about the following question: For what purpose and based on what belief did the ancient Egyptians build such a combined monster with a human head, lion body, ox tail, and eagle wings? At this moment, a group of men with carbines jumped out from an approaching truck. With a burst of rapid fire, the tourists had no time to react, and they all fell into a pool of blood.

After a burst of gunpowder, this place has turned into hell.There were bloodstains everywhere, and the romance and happiness that was still in the air just now were completely gone. The group of gangsters boarded the truck before the police arrived, and fled in panic, leaving only a bloody horror memory and a nightmare story for people. The Police Department immediately launched an investigation into the perpetrators of the violent incident.But after half a year of hard work, there is still nothing, as if these killers came out of hell. From the on-site investigation, it was found that the dead came from all over the world, and there was no sign of any particular opposition to certain countries or organizations.

What is particularly strange is that every dead person had his right eye gouged out by the gangsters, as if they were conveying a message to us: they saw something they shouldn't see! If this is the case, what kind of secret is hidden in the Sphinx, which will bring such a tragic death to these innocent tourists?What does the existence of the Sphinx itself mean? ■Professor Half's Discovery 40 years ago, Professor Jean Half, an American geologist who taught at the University of Chicago, suddenly became interested in several photos of the Sphinx. On the surface of the Sphinx, there are many deep ravines, all of which are arranged horizontally and densely layered on the surface of the Sphinx, making this ancient stone sculpture look older and more mysterious.It is generally believed that this peculiar phenomenon was caused by the weathering of the Sphinx due to the dry climate and strong desert storms in ancient Egypt.For a long time, both orthodox ancient Egyptology researchers and various experts who have come here for field investigations have firmly believed in this explanation.And no one has ever doubted the real purpose of building this stone statue.

What is even more astonishing is that no one has been able to give a convincing explanation for the strange combination of human head, lion's body, oxtail, and eagle's wings. Professor Jean Half is not an Egyptologist, nor even knows anything about archaeology.What interested him was the dense gullies on the surface of the Sphinx. Professor Jean Half stared at this picture for a long time, and finally said in a positive tone: "These gullies are formed by the washing of rainwater!" As a research expert in meteorological geology, Professor Half has deep attainments in the field of erosion and weathering research. Even so, he was still stunned by his conclusion.

Professor Halff decided to go to the field for investigation in person.He quickly flew to Giza, where the Sphinx is located, and Egypt's most famous tourist area, with several assistants.There are not only the Sphinx, but also the world-famous pyramid complex, etc., a series of a large number of ancient relics left in the heyday of the third dynasty of ancient Egypt.After a series of careful and rigorous inspections and sampling analysis, Professor Halff finally confirmed his judgment.He immediately announced to the world that the gullies on the Sphinx were formed by the washing of rainwater, rather than by wind and sand erosion, as traditional archaeologists believed.

When Professor Half's research results were published in the World Academic Annual, it immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction from a large number of ancient Egypt scholars, and many researchers were in an uproar. Ancient Egyptian scholars emphasized that when King Khafre built the pyramids and the Sphinx, Egypt's climate was already very dry, and it was impossible to have abundant rainfall throughout the year, let alone the phenomenon of rain erosion of stone statues.Moreover, to a person who knows nothing about ancient Egyptology, any of his arguments about the Sphinx can be ignored.

Facing these raging accusations and incomprehensions, Professor Half was in a calm mood, because he had already expected this.But in any case, he is still determined to make his discovery public, because this is a scientific challenge issued by a scholar to "authority" with a serious attitude.He said: "I treat science with a scientific attitude, please also treat my discoveries scientifically." But things backfired, and Professor Half's request was ignored.Amidst the censure, the professor was in great pain, and finally led to insanity and ended his life in depression very sadly.

■Memory shared by all mankind. The occurrence of the Giza tragedy made the world turn its attention to the Sphinx again.We suddenly discovered that this ancient and mysterious statue still has so many secrets that we have not yet fully known. According to Professor Jean? Period of lush tropical rainforest.And this period is estimated according to the geological time, it was 1 year ago! In other words, this statue was not built by Pharaoh Khafre of the third dynasty of ancient Egypt to show his achievements, but a rumor spread by someone in his name.Because before that, the Sphinx really existed.

Such an inference may make people feel unbelievable, but what kind of purpose did the people at that time build this behemoth in order to convey what kind of information to future generations? Almost all the researchers who paid attention to this situation couldn't wait to gather in the Giza Heights from all over the world. Perhaps at this time people recalled the efforts and sympathetic experiences made by Professor Jean Half.If we had stopped being complacent and short-sighted at that time, and could accept Professor Half's research results with a rigorous and scientific attitude, our research on ancient Egypt would definitely not be what it is today, and it is even no exaggeration. In other words, our exploration of the future destiny of mankind will definitely not be as impetuous and at a loss as it is today.

We began to explore, hoping not to miss any clues that can be used for research and analysis, from the pyramids to the Sphinx, from the pharaoh's cemetery to the temple of Athena... We found that in every corner of the ancient Egyptian ruins: cemeteries, Steles, sculptures, utensils, decorations, paintings... almost all of them can be found with a strange pattern called "Sphinx". But they are all composed of man, lion, ox and eagle. Maybe we can call it "Sphinx phenomenon" or "Sphinx culture". This phenomenon or culture seems to have a tendency to spread, from ancient times to the present, from the inside out.

In the Rocky Mountains of South America, in the Japanese islands where the Yamato people thrived, in those temples of Tibetan Buddhism on the roof of the world, and in many other places in the world, we can find this kind of human-animal hybrid. These things often appear as holy beasts with a certain symbol of divine power. They can save human beings from fire and water, heal or revive human heroes, and even come directly to the world to save human beings that are gradually declining. Society...Perhaps, we can draw the inference from this: this kind of sphinx is the common memory of human beings?That is to say, all things have the same origin, and we humans once had a common pursuit of another spirit.This pursuit exists in the depths of our memory. It has come from ancient times. At a certain intersection of history and reality, after gaining enough energy, it will suddenly appear in front of our eyes again in the image of life. Perhaps, we should no longer hesitate in the journey of history, but should take big steps to boldly explore the truth of the past, present and future.
