Drilling under the Sphinx (Featuring Dr Zahi Hawass and Dr Mark Lehner)

( http://heritage-key.com/blogs/keith-payne/drilling-under-sphinx-heritage-key-... ) Dr Zahi Hawass and Dr Mark Lehner talk about the latest conservation tests being carried out at the Great Sphinx, Giza, to test whether this iconic Egyptian landmark is at risk of a rising water table. Assisted by the Cairo University, the team are making holes around the Sphinx to check the porosity of the limestone underneath, as well as a side-benefit of being able to test the theories of whether there are hidden chambers and tunnels underneath.

It just shows to tell that they are hiding something!!!

So a couple of holes and that's it is it?

I bet if there were Oil under the Sphinx we would already know whats there...lol.

I say they should have an open house and invite everybody that has any ideas about this.

If the Egyptian government discover something that discredits today's Egyptian people then would we get to hear about it?

I highly doubt it.

they found the secret chamber 25 meters below when they did the ground survey with sonar. they only drilled 10 meters under the paw in this video.

@JHK1976 The main thing is to get funding.

It's supposed to be under the right paw not the left.

Half way betveen the Kheops and the Sphinx there are huge chamber and tunnels connected the Piramids and the Sphinx. The chamber is the grave of Osiris and there are a lot of information about the Universe, ancient civilisation and Humanity. Zahi Hawass once started to tell that accidentaly on the TV in show in 1995 meanwhile he was asking about the book by Graham Hancock. This is a kind of information they don't really wanna talk about.

[JHK1976]

Not very scientific, huh?

[SGTRandyB]

Conspiracy such as this is so easily laid to rest. Publicly published seismic readings. So why hasn't that been done you must ask?

Possibly to enhance the pyramid mystery, it does attract the curious after all, boosting Egyptian economy.

Or just maybe.......

[lostmania64]

its obvious theres something there and its really not suprising in my opinion that they are keeping it secret because every government has more secrets than truths. maybe we can get lucky and julian assange wil come out with something! hahaha

[bok255]

If they wanna put the mystery to rest can't they just do some seismography or something? Send some shock waves through the ground and see the density?

wow - egypt conspiracy ppl are crazy crazy deluded! (Thats nearly everyone here lol)
