This school of thought has been around for hundreds of years, but new buildings give it more credibility. Recently, Graham Hancock, the author of the famous book Finger­prints of the Gods and some American scholars have presented certain evidence that challenges the traditional thought on the Sphinx.

　　They present proofs that may cause a rethinking of the so­called fact used to determine who built the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid of Giza and for what purpose. Their proofs consist of basically two pieces of evidence astronomical(天文学的) calculations of the stars and geological evidence that the erosion(侵蚀) of the Sphinx and other monuments of Giza was due to water rather than sand, wind or sunshine according to Robert Bauval's book The Message of the Sphinx. It is this evidence that has turned the Egyptologists' world upside down.
