Forcing the question

‘It can’t be a coincidence that such a perfect alignment of the terrestrial
and the celestial occurs at around 10,450 BC,’ said Robert. ‘In fact I don’t
think coincidence is any longer an issue. To me the real question is why?
Why was it done? Why did they go to such lengths to make this enormous
statement about the eleventh millennium BC?’
‘Obviously because it was an important time for them,’ suggested
Santha.
‘It must have been very, very important. You don’t do something like
this, create a series of vast precessional markers like these, carve a
Sphinx, put up three pyramids weighing almost 15 million tons, unless
you have some hugely important reason. So the question is: what was
that reason? They’ve forced this question by making such a strong,
imperative statement about 10,450 BC. Really, they’ve forced the
question. They want to draw our attention to 10,450 BC and it’s up to us
to work out why.’
We fell silent, for a long while as the sun climbed the sky south-east of
the Great Sphinx.
