Looking at the forms created by nature, we always look for similarities in them with other objects of the living world or architectural structures. This is the nature of the human psyche - to see castles and outlandish animals in the clouds, the faces of the spirits of nature in the drawings of the tree, and in a crowd of strangers - the silhouette of a loved one, for whom the soul misses. Pareidolia deceives our eyes, forcing us to believe in something that does not exist.
Sometimes works created by Mother Nature copy structures of artificial origin down to the smallest detail. The Pakistani Sphinx belongs to this category. Its nature has been debated for years. Is it a legacy of an advanced ancient civilization, or are alternative people mistaken and wishful thinking? Or maybe skeptics deliberately reject the ancient building, considering it a natural formation, because otherwise history would have to be rewritten?
The Sphinx from southern Baluchistan, located in Khingol National Park, is not as famous as its Egyptian counterpart. Many people think that the structure was carved out of stone by rain and wind. But there are researchers who hold a different opinion. Indian scientist Bibhu Dev Mishra considers it to be a huge architectural complex created by a very ancient civilization many centuries before the Great Sphinx in Egypt.
The researcher saw striking details in the photographs - a characteristic headdress, special plates covering the ears, the outlines of the front paws.
“It is foolish to assume that nature has carved a statue that looks like a famous mythical animal to the smallest detail,” he emphasizes and hopes that someday the government will investigate and reconstruct the structure. Bibhu is confident that the situation can be saved if the attention of professional archaeologists, historians and simply enthusiasts who are not indifferent to the Earth's past is brought to this structure.

“The importance of such structures cannot be underestimated, because they hide the secrets of the mysterious past of mankind,” he says. Bibhu Dev Mishra believes that the Pakistani Sphinx guards an ancient temple located under a mythical animal.
His predecessor, Raja Dekshihtar (1949-2010), argued in his works that the figure of the sphinx is the property of not only Ancient Egypt.
In each country, these figures have their own characteristics. Indian ones, for example, have elongated earlobes decorated with decorative discs. In Sanskrit they are called "purushamriga" - "man-beast".
Usually the figures of these animals were installed near the gates of the temples. Thus, mythical lions guarded ancient shrines, and at the same time - knowledge of millions of years, including the secret of life and death. Sphinxes not made by hand are found all over the world - in Greece, India, Russia, Africa and the Middle East. Here is a headless sphinx from Nigeria:
And these are Crimean - works of nature, located in Bakhchisarai. There are already 14 of them, lined up in a row:
Perhaps the Sphinx of Giza was once copied from one of the natural monuments - hence their incredible similarity. Hand-made or not, all the sculptures are located in "places of power" with a special energy capable of influencing the subconscious of a person, changing the mood, way of thinking and attitude towards the world for the better. It is a pity that the effect of this energy is temporary and is not able to prevent ethno-confessional and other armed conflicts, which are sadly rich in the history of these regions.
