The John Anthony West Project on Fundly Hey yo. So I wanted to take some time here to share with you guys some information on a cause that’s near and dear to me. I assume most of you who listen to this show are familiar with the work of John Anthony West, the man who, along with Dr. Robert Schoch, put forth the hypothesis in the early 90s that the Great Sphinx of Giza, Egypt, showed evidence of weathering brought on by prolonged and extensive rainfall.
