Linguistic Archaeology: The Sphinx and the Volcano

A big stone sphinx sits in the desert near some Pyramids facing almost precisely east. In ancient egyptian its word is Neb. In Protoindoeuropean Nebh means Cloud. The Sphinx construction dates around 2700BC.


Way off in South China Sea near Japan is the Kikai Caldera which Erupted explosivly in 4300BC.



While the timeline is distinct, the archaeological markers indicate an event that predates the construction of the Sphinx.
