John Anthony West (July 9, 1932 - February 6, 2018) - was an American author, lecturer, guide and a proponent of the Sphinx water erosion hypothesis in geology. We met in Cairo December 2000 when we were both staying at the Mena House Hotel. Egypt was in his blood as it is for many of us. He shared his theories about the age of the Sphinx which is still up for conjecture. He also told me that few people really understand the sacred geometry of Egypt which is best understood from above. John Anthony West on Facebook

The Luxor Temple, for example, is a representation not only of the abstract structures commonly described, but also of a human being. The South green-red-purple-gold area being Head, Neck, and Chest; The South blue area being the Arms surrounding the Stomach; The Central red area being the Pelvis, Thighs, and Knees; The North blue-red-purple area being the legs and feet. Perhaps the structure of the Luxor Temple might encode such things as Acupuncture Points and Chakras, with the South Chamber corresponding to the Third Eye.
