Previous finds at Hazor include other small Egyptian artifacts – Egyptian axe. My date for Joshua crossing over the Jordan is c.1418 BC. When the Israelites left Egypt they took Egyptian artifacts and weapons with them. So it is not surprising to find some of these Egyptian artifacts at Hazor, although I doubt that they would have lugged a five foot statue of a deceased Pharaoh with them. Some commentators like James Cameron have previously identified the Hyksos as the Israelites. To conclude that the Hyksos took this statue with them bears the same problem, why?

Jonathan Gray shares some fascinating secrets about its true age.

So how old is the Sphinx – really?

On the plateau of Giza west of Cairo, Egypt, sits the Great Sphinx of Giza, a statue 240 feet long, with a lion’s body and a human head wearing the headdress of the Pharaohs.
