Movie Review: Answering Questions about a Most Famous Monument!!
Summary: 5 Stars
+++++
The information presented in this program is based on the seventeen years of research of an Egyptologist and a geologist. It is hosted by the legendary Charlton Heston.
Experts of what is called "The Sphinx Project" (five people make up this "scientific team") re-examine the Great Sphinx of Egypt. They show that what orthodox Egyptologists claim about the Sphinx cannot be true. Experts other than those of the Sphinx project also give brief comments. There are even rebuttals by opposing experts as to what is claimed by the Sphinx project.
Areas covered in this program include archaeology, Egyptology, geology, mathematics, seismology, paleoclimatology, engineering, and even forensics. All scientific concepts are explained with the aid of computer simulation and animation.
To see how all this new information presented fits together, there is a fantastic computer graphic sequence near the end of the program to illustrate the possible life history of the Sphinx.
Here are some of the questions answered about the Sphinx:
(1) Is the Sphinx older than thought?
(2) How were the huge 200 ton blocks used to build it put in place?
(3) Is there more to the Sphinx than can be seen?
(4) Is the face of the Sphinx really who it is thought?
(5) Is the head of it really the original head?
In this program, there is no mention of UFOs or LGM (little green men). This program presents a serious scientific investigation.
The DVD itself is practically perfect in picture and sound quality. There are no extras.
Finally, to determine what the Sphinx is staring at, I recommend viewing the excellent video "Heaven's Mirror" (1998) hosted by Graham Hancock.
In conclusion, this program answers mysteries about the Sphinx. If you're like me and like mysteries, then you can't miss this program!!
