Mark Lerner (not Norden) shows the Great Sphinx aligns to summer solstice sunset at 296° circa 6,500 BC. The proposed second Sphinx sits at 296° bearing with approximately 378 reads separating it from the original on the Giza grid.

Key facts claimed:

- Mark Lerner) research shows the Great Sphinx and Second Pyramid create the 'horizon' (arket) symbol aligned to summer solstice sunset

- The proposed second Sphinx site at 296° bearing aligns to summer solstice sunset circa 6,500 BC

- The opposite direction (116°) aligns to winter solstice sunrise at the same period

- Andrew Collins uses a Giza grid measurement system based on 'reads' (10.5 ft units)

- The grid distance between existing Sphinx and proposed second Sphinx site is approximately 378 reads
