It wasnt always a desert. And even when it was lush with greenery, that is not what Im referring to. There was a great flood during the younger dryas period, and it wasn’t the first. It had to do with the sudden recession of the last glacial maximum. Also its been proven that the erosion marks from the sphinx are from heavy water flow, not wind and sand as previously believed. I highly urge you to do your research on climatology, pre-history, and archeology before you come debate me because “its a desert” just aint gonna cut it fam 🤦🏼♂️
