Ancient Civilizations

the thing about those Colossi is they look really OLD. like much older than most of the stuff in Egypt. maybe over 10000 years or older. and yeah, Egypt reigns supreme when it comes to ancient artifacts. its been theorized that Ancient Egypt was conquered by the same people who came from Atlantis after it was washed away.

You have no basis to say that anything is 10000 years old or 1000 years old or whatever.

its so weathered that it looks like its been there for an eternity. 10k years doesnt sound out of the question.

Your guess is as good as anyone elses.

Archaeologists. Geologists.

Sure, I'm not an expert. I don't know what kind of stone that is. If it's soft like limestone, it could be younger than it looks. If that's a hard stone such as quartz or granite, then it is really old.

neither can put a date on stone.

They can make an educated estimate better "Looks old, I reckon that's 10k years, probably Atlantean architecture".

they can guess based on the stone. but its still a guess and of course if that statue had been buried in the sand, all bets are off. the Sphynx was unearthed and its been eroding away ever since. there has been an ongoing preservation process going on since Roman times. its a losing battle, it will only last if they let it get buried again. nobody knows how old the Sphynx really is.
