Scientists have finally discovered the secret of the construction of Egypt’s 4500 year old Sphinx statue. Researchers at New York University have revealed this mystery by experimenting with how wind moves against rock formations
There are many such secrets of ancient Egypt, which have remained a mystery to people for centuries. This also includes the Great Pyramid of Giza. How this pyramid was built, how the heavy stones were placed one above the other without any machine, all these things remain a mystery till now. Apart from this, scientists had not been able to solve the mystery of the ancient Sphinx statue of Egypt till now, but now scientists have said that they have solved the mystery of its construction. After years of research, scientists believe they have finally discovered how the Great Sphinx in Egypt was built 4,500 years ago.
In fact, for decades it has been agreed that the face of this giant half-man-half-lion statue was made by hand by masons, but it was never understood how the body of the statue was created? Researchers at New York University have now prepared a research report, in which it has analyzed how wind blows against rock formations. This research has been published in the Physical Review Fluids journal.
Scientists’ experiment was successful
According to the Mirror report, researchers took a lot of soft clay with hard and less perishable material inside and conducted their experiment in northeastern Egypt to solve the mystery of the construction of the Sphinx statue. He washed these materials with a fast flowing stream of water, which he believed acted like wind. At the end of this experiment, scientists found soil resembling the structure of the Sphinx, due to which the scientists came to the conclusion that the Sphinx must have been formed in a similar manner.
Truth revealed through experiment
Leif Ristroff, a senior author of the study, said, ‘Our findings offer a possible story of how erosion could have created structures like the Sphinx. Our experiment has shown that surprisingly, figures like the Sphinx can be formed from materials destroyed by strong currents.
However, this is not the first time that scientists have done research on how the Sphinx statue might have been constructed, but in the year 1981, geologist Farouk El-Baz had come up with a similar theory. He claimed that the body of the Great Sphinx was formed naturally by the erosion of sand by the wind.
The nose of the Great Sphinx statue is broken
Let us tell you that the Great Sphinx statue is 73 meters long, 20 meters high and 19 meters wide. Its nose is broken, which is believed to have been done intentionally by someone. When examined closely, it appears as if a chisel had been used to break the nose. Well it has been missing for hundreds of years. The earliest mention of the Great Sphinx’s missing nose is in the writings of the historian al-Maqrizi in the 15th century.
The Great Sphinx of Giza is a limestone statue of a reclining sphinx, a mythical creature with the head of a human and the body of a lion.Facing directly from west to east, it stands on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile in Giza, Egypt. The face of the Sphinx appears to represent the pharaoh Khafre.The original shape of the Sphinx was cut from the bedrock, and has since been restored with layers of limestone blocks.It measures 73 m (240 ft) long from paw to tail, 20 m (66 ft) high from the base to the top of the head and 19 m (62 ft) wide at its rear haunches.
The Sphinx is the oldest known monumental sculpture in Egypt and one of the most recognizable statues in the world. The archaeological evidence suggests that it was created by ancient Egyptians of the Old Kingdom during the reign of Khafre (c. 2558–2532 BC).
The circumstances surrounding the Sphinx’s nose being broken off are uncertain, but close inspection suggests a deliberate act using rods or chisels.Contrary to a popular myth, it was not broken off by cannonfire from Napoleon‘s troops during his 1798 Egyptian campaign. Its absence is in fact depicted in artwork predating Napoleon, and referred to in descriptions by the 15th-century historian al-Maqrīzī.
