Boston University natural sciences associate professor Robert Schoch discusses his hypothesis that geological, architectural, and hieroglyphic evidence indicates that the Sphinx and Giza structures predate dynastic Egypt. He and Robert Bauval explore a possible lost civilization, solar-induced climate disruption, ancient stoneworking, Göbekli Tepe, and the risk of future solar catastrophes, along with research planned beneath the Sphinx.
