Stonehenge and the Sphinx

Luke 19:40 
"I tell you," he replied, "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out." 

Yahushua Ha’Mashiah has dominion over all creatures, and may use them as he pleases.  He has all men's hearts both under his eye and in his hand.  Yahushua Ha’Mashiah's triumphs, and his disciples' joyful praises, vexed the proud Pharisees, who are enemies to him and to his kingdom.  But Yahushua Ha’Mashiah, as he despises the contempt of the proud, so he accepts the praises of the humble.  Pharisees would silence the praises of Yahushua Ha’Mashiah, but they cannot, for as Yahuwah can out of stones raise up testimony and turn the stony heart to himself, so he can bring praise out of the mouths of children.  And what will be the feelings of men when Yahushua Ha’Mashiah returns in glory to judge the world!

The stone would, 'cry out'.  It is "proper" that they should celebrate my coming.  Their acclamations "ought" not to be suppressed.  So joyful is the event which they celebrate, the coming of the Messiah, that it is not fitting that any should attempt to impose silence on them.

The expression here seems to be "proverbial", and should not be taken literally.  Proverbs are designed to express the truth "strongly", but are not to be taken to signify as much as if they were to be interpreted literally.  The sense is, that his coming was an event of so much importance that it "ought" to be celebrated in some way, and "would" be celebrated.  It would be impossible to restrain the people and improper to attempt it.  The language here is a strong proverbial language to denote that fact.  We are not to suppose, therefore, that our Saviour meant to say that the stones were "conscious" of his coming, or that God would "make" them speak, but only that there was "great joy" among the people, that it was "proper" that they should express it in this manner and that it was not fitting that he should attempt to repress it.

Stonehenge, an ancient stone monument has captured millions of imaginations for centuries.  Located on the Salisbury Plain in the Wiltshire, which is in England, Stonehenge is one of the major tourist destinations that draw millions of visitors from all over the world.  There are many theories about Stonehenge that gives answer to the question, who built Stonehenge?  Nonetheless, these theories have no significance, as there is no evidence to them.
For more than 100 years, investigations have discovered that the Stonehenge was built in many phases right from 2800 to 1800 BC.  More likely, it has been designed to permit the observation of astronomical phenomena like the eclipses, summer and winter solstices, and others. 

The facts of Stonehenge has many myths and legends.  You can take a guided tour to explore and understand this ancient monument.  Most of the past archaeologists believe that the Druids, who were the high priests of the Celts, built the monument.  Druids constructed this unique attraction for the sacrificial ceremonies.
On the other hand, who built the Sphinx?  The most compelling evidence that the Sphinx was built for the Egyptian Pharaoh Khafre during his reign (2520 to 2494 BC) is in the architecture, geology, and archaeology of the Sphinx and its related monuments.
People propose all kinds of theories about Old Kingdom (2575 to 2465 BC) pyramid construction and the date of the Sphinx.  Few of them have examined the evidence at Giza in detail.  Some theorists use the evidence selectively instead of looking at all of the available evidence together.  
The Sphinx is only part of a set of structures built to serve the cult of the dead king and the Sun God, Ra, consisting of a Pyramid, Pyramid Temple, Causeway, Sphinx, Sphinx Temple, and Valley Temple.  The Sphinx may have been intended to associate the king with the Sun God.  The ancient Egyptian general term for Sphinx, Shesep Ankh Atum, means “living image of Atum", Atum being both the creator god and the setting sun.  

Although, vandalised by the French when they invaded Egypt, the facial features are most certainly of a black African, as the people of ancient Egypt are said to have derived from an ancestral mixture of African and Mediterraneans.  Facial soft-tissue analysis of this fabled man-lion would support a much earlier origin for the Sphinx, when Africans dominated the region.
