Riddles of the Sphinx - Tombs of the Pyramid Builders

In 1990 Dr. Zahi Hawass "stumbled upon" one of the greatest discoveries of his career -- the tombs of the workers who built the Great Pyramids, and maybe the Sphinx.  Recently, Dr. Hawass discovered more of the workers tombs.  For Riddles of the Sphinx, we filmed Dr. Hawass inside one of the original tombs describing his feelings about the discovery.  Watch this bonus scene from our film and be sure to check back through the week as we unveil more clips.

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

@7Know7Thy7Enemy7 peace for you , sorry brother but as Muslim i dont see any diffident between colors of ppl , Egyptians ppl was and still Dark ppl coz weather here is not so hot and not cold .

many of Arabs r black . we have the same Genes of our grandfathers Ancient Egy .

[7Know7Thy7Enemy7]

@temtem3000 Arabs are not the original Egyptians, Ancient Egyptians were NEGROIDS. The sphinx is clearly a negroid. Just like America, Indians are the original people of this country, blacks are the original people of Egypt

Gods were here obviously

Mark Lehner say, after 20 years of excavations we find the true work force of the pyramids! Strange, frist i ear a lady riding a horse find the hole when is horse stumble, then a worker come say to hawass the american lady stumble in a hole, when her animal stumble upon the hole So i think if any one found was or the lady or the worker not the egyptologists we should agree that even the horse is far better egyptologist then the lier hawass!

@Phobnator Oh that silly video. I watched it a pit. It is not even BBC documentary. It's just that discovery shit. And the makers are those 2012 loons.

[Phobnator]

@Turmootti The sphinx and the 3 giza pyramids are the remains of a lost civilisation. Hawass wants us to believe these structures were built by egyptians.

I'd suggest you watch the BBC documentary "Mystery of the Sphinx". Just search here on Youtube.

@Phobnator What is the true story? Why are you keeping it secret?

[mucofresh]

@Phobnator why would he hide it?

[Phobnator]

Hawass is a liar. He knows the true story about the pyramid and the sphinx.
