Was the Sphinx built by Assyrians? An 1890s newspaper reveals surprising origins. The great Sphinx has always been a great mystery— who built it and why it was built. However, a massive article from 1893 described at great length not only who constructed the massive monument, but also its purpose.
Why has all of this information been buried for over a century? The Mesopotamian histories of Sumer, Assyria, and Babylon have influenced western culture, but their most interesting details are largely left out of our school books on modern civilization’s development.
Join Ben Chasteen and Rob Counts on The Edge of Wonder as they discuss articles from the past that weren’t afraid to bring up giants or the Nephilim. Also in this episode, hear how a former NASA scientist is conducting experiments to prove we live in a simulation just like the Matrix, a newly found sunken city that predates Atlantis, a new Bigfoot photo that emerged, and something unearthed in Antarctica that’s more than 1,300 feet long.
