# The Great Sphinx (Robert Schoch's statement of the redating)

Robert M. Schoch, n.d.. _robertschoch.com_.

Schoch's current position: a core body at least 7,000 and more likely about 12,000 years old from the seismic weathering depth and rain erosion, a dynastic recarving of the head, a lion or lioness original, with Göbekli Tepe as a parallel. Names his books Forgotten Civilization and Origins of the Sphinx.
