October 19, 2016   "Aliens, Lost Civilizations and Geology: The Truth Behind the Sphinx"  by Robert Schneier

According to archeologists, the Great Sphinx was carved about 4,500 years ago. Some people believe weathering and other geological evidence make it thousands of years older. This would require construction by a lost civilization or perhaps even ancient astronauts. The Sphinx is also still weathering today as salty shallow groundwater slowly destroys it from the bottom up. All of this leaves many unanswered questions. Who built the Sphinx? How did they do it? Do we need to rewrite human history? Have we been visited by aliens? Where is the water coming from in the middle of the desert?

If you love a good mystery (and like free pizza), then you'll want to attend this one-hour lecture by registered professional geologist Robert Schneiker. Bob, a graduate of UW-Milwaukee,  has been in the environmental groundwater consulting industry since 1982. Trained as a petroleum geophysicist, his project experience includes risk-based evaluations, groundwater modeling, geophysical exploration and groundwater resources exploration.  His SEVIEW software is used by regulators and consultants around the world. He has presented papers and conducted numerous training seminars for consultants and regulatory agencies in the United States, Canada, and the European Union.
