The Great Sphinx of Giza (吉萨狮身人面像) is one of the most famous places of interest in the world. Most scientists believe it was built around 2, 500 B. C. (公元前) But John Anthony West, a writer and film-maker, says that it's much older. If he's right, everything that we have learned about ancient civilizations (文明) would have to be completely revised.
West began to study ancient history after studying the work of a French researcher. The researcher said Egyptian (埃及的) civilization could have developed as early as 30, 000 years ago rather than 4, 500 years ago, as most experts believe.
West joined a scientist to do research together. Their research suggested that the Sphinx had been worn out (磨损) over the years by water rather than by sand and wind.
Wait a minute Water The Sphinx is in the Sahara Desert, which has been dry for 12, 000 years! However, it was very green before that time. If it's true that water wore down the Sphinx, then West thinks that it must have been built centuries earlier.
Whether West is right. or wrong, it's important to challenge accepted ideas. That's how science. progresses, West gave some advice to kids: If you are interested in a topic, read everything that you can find on it. Do your own research. Don't always believe everything. Ask lots of questions, and find your own answers.
