Dude, idk, I’m mostly doing it because I’ve got nothing better to do (and because I wanna add it toy CV) and to see if I can do it. I’m most likely gonna whip up a quick website, built with it and license it under MIT after it’s done…
Oh come on, this is just a 5 year olds fantasy documents. Yeah, I know it’s not, that makes it just so cringy and painful; how can you make this and not think that the receiver will hang this on their fridge?
The ignorant like you should go to whatever streaming service has it in their region or whatever store sells the DVD or Blu-Ray and watch it right now because you are missing out on comedy greatness and you are definitely risking your health by not laughing enough.
Re-carved anyway, although I’d like to know what happened to all the original stone. You’d think we’d be able to find it. It’s a lot of stone based on that drawing.
At the age they were building pyramids and would have supposedly recarved the Sphinx, they were mostly using very large stone blocks. They only switched to smaller stone blocks in the Amarna period when Akhenaten had them do it to speed up construction. But that was centuries later.
I’m pretty sure that big ole nose would require modern reinforced materials. maybe they tried and failed to make the anubis, but i doubt it would’ve worked very well.
I’m totally with you on this one. I can see the current head being a later replacement.
Although: Anubis had the body of a man, not a lion, so that theory is fucked. If there was a different original head, it was probably something else: a lion, or an eagle, or something; the ancients loved to mix up animal parts in their mythos, so roll a dodecahedron for what it could have been. Not one of the main Egyptian gods, though: those were all human-body, animal-head. Putting one of those on the Sphinx body makes absolutely no sense, and OP^OP^ is a garden-variety moron.
P.S. that silhouette also just looks like a Doberman, which is twice as dumb.
