This chapter discusses the geological evidence that suggests the Sphinx and its surrounding area in Egypt received heavy rainfall thousands of years ago. The speaker mentions a geologist from Boston University named Robert Shock who found evidence of water erosion on the Sphinx, indicating that it was carved before a time when rainfall was present in the Nile Valley. The speaker also speculates on the age of the Sphinx and its initial design featuring the head of a lion, pointing towards the constellation Leo.
