THE CHEETAH/ MAFDET CONNECTION TO OUR NUBIAN FEMALE SHAMAN
Her vision and journey makes even more sense once we see (as we shall shortly) that the most likely Patron/Protector Goddess of our female Nubian shaman would have been Mafdet, the half cheetah/half human Mother Goddess.
Because of this, it would also have been quite natural for our female Nubian shaman to not only physically emulate the Cheetah /human nature of Mafdet, but also psychically share Mafdet's characteristics. After all, this is what the Patron/Protector Goddess relationship implies. I'll go into this in detail shortly, but I want to drive home the point that preliterate cultures were always driven by spiritual concerns, and the first thing that would have come to the minds of preliterate peoples gazing at the "Veiled" human/cheetah face at Giza is that it was the face of Mafdet.

The act of carving our proposed Nubian female shaman’s face over my proposed "Veiled" face at Giza would have been a muthos way of saying that the “Veiled” Mafdet face was finally fully born, i.e., brought into the world unveiled as the face of a living Goddess: our Nubian female shaman. It is likely then that the our Nubian female shaman would be seen as the daughter of Mafdet .
I should add that it makes muthos (felt ) sense that the Giza facial carving would have reflected Mafdet's cheetah/human characteristics as well what the face of our Nubian female shaman actually looked like. I have a section later on that goes into great detail on this.

So there it is: a theoretical scenario that could have led to the carving of the Giza Sphinx face in 6000 B.C.. As I go on, I'll cite more and more evidence backing up this scenario. I have to admit I have no idea if things happened exactly as I've spelled them out. It is simply my best deduction of the way things might have happened to bring about a large Nubian female facial carving on a cliff in Giza c. 6000 B.C. The factors I used in that deduction were partly factual (weathering, the tsunami flood, the distinct nature and characteristics of preliterate art) and partly intuitive based on my understanding of the psychic nature of preliterate cultures.
I will say this, however, with absolutely no equivocation: I believe something like this did happen and that the face of the Sphinx is a of preliterate black female Nubian who was of immense importance to the Nile delta people.
