Riddles of the Sphinx - Searching the Secret Shafts

The Great Sphinx has always been an object of fascination spawning countless theories regarding its mysterious origins. One of the most enduring of these ideas is that buried beneath the Sphinx is the Hall of Records from the Lost Civilization of Atlantis. In filming Riddles of the Sphinx, Dr. Zahi Hawass gave us unprecedented access to the shafts in the Sphinx's rump and back. To see what we discovered there, check out this bonus scene from our film and be sure to check back through the week as we unveil more of these clips.

Riddles of the Sphinx premieres January 19, 2010 on Nova/PBS.

Instead of searching under the left paw of the sphinx, they are fooling people by digging under its ass and back.

Liars Liars, the egyptian tyrant is gone now, people are going to be free to explore the chamber under the left paw; so many dogmas will be blown from under the water.

the info is there edgar cayce said so these guys lie and cover the info it may be revalutionary

How fast would I get caught if I started jackhammering into the ground near the right paw?

@LGD79 its bollocks. leave it.

or it was left as a hole, and then preservers just add a little door on it. but who gives a shit!? the real mystery is the great pyramid and 3 others, the true ones. not the ones all distorted built by idiots. im talking atlantis! Graham Hancock gets rid of all doubts in his lectures. go watch

[blankplanet]

this is complete bollocks! they probably dug that little hole on the side by themselves to shut up all the curious people. the real chambers are 3 times deeper and not on the side. they should scan it with sonar! but the fkn authorities will be a pain in the ass! truth will prevail! its been there for a while, look at the 4 perfect pyramids (10500BC) and other shite like the step pyramid...thats the real face of the ancient egypt, made of crap, ugly and with useless inscriptions!

@mangrum876 Edgar Cayce is not the origin of "the hall of records" beneath the sphinx. Look up the Emerald Tablets and read them over.

[LGD79]

Explain me this.. if treasure seekers dug the tunnel on the back of the Sphinx, how come it looks like it was made part of the Sphinx's construction? I don't buy this piece of info...

[nonalignedspace]

Notice how they neglected to mention the ground penetrating radar survey in the 90's that discovered a rectangular chamber thirty feet below the Sphinx's paws?

[mangrum876]

@scott797 Edgar Cayce came up with that theory. That refugees from Altantis built the Pyramids & Sphinex around 10,500 bc.. He also says that many people back then was half man half horse & native Egyptians had feathers. I have Mark Leher's frist book when he belived in that. it saids that.
