3) of course there is a retaining wall around the Sphinx! The Nile floods like clockwork, and before the Nile straightened itself out, the meandering brought it right next to the Sphinx. You are right, however, about most of it being jungle, because a lot of it still is. And the flood you mentioned did happen, but never close to the time of even the earliest Egpytian Dynasties.
Point one: Everything we "knew" at one point was that the Earth was the flat center of the universe. The star alignments would certainly be considered by most people to be new evidence.

Point two: I've checked the thread and the only two mentions of aliens have been Dreadbelly saying that this (what he posted on the pyramids) had nothing to do with aliens, and Auld Argonian talking about an article unrelated to the pyramids.

Point three: Is it not possible to predate the Egyptian dynasties?

I hereby bow out of this topic. I think at this point we are getting dangerously close to what I have seen Dreadbelly describe as "Pointy stick, meet hornet's nest. Hornet's nest, meet pointy stick"
