You would think that dating the Sphinx would be pretty easy, especially since the Sphinx’s face is that of an Old Kingdom pharaoh, and it’s right in front of an Old Kingdom pyramid. Simple man that I am, I’m going with Old Kingdom. But wait right there! What about the water erosion? Could the Sphinx actually be thousands of years older than previously thought?

Have you ever had a big, angry mob of anonymous keyboard warriors tell you the same wrong thing over and over again? Where they typed the same foolishness so many times that you got tired of replying and decided to make a podcast about it instead? Maybe it’s just me.

Did you survive the Maya apocalypse of 2012? Are you still putting your life back together after the supervolcano covered your home in lava just before the Tsunami washed it away? Is your equilibrium still unequal after the close call with Planet X? Does the Earth’s gravity still feel “not quite right” in the years since?
The renegade few of us who survived need to stick together. Let’s analyze the fallout of that fateful day on the 10 year anniversary of December 21, 2012, a day that will be long remembered…for nothing at all!
