What's Buried Beneath The Sphinx?

It ’s comfortable to see why the Great Sphinx of Giza – a giant gem statue in the midriff of the desert resembling ancient pharaoh Khafre but with the consistence of a Leo – has been the issue of a routine of crank theories over the years .

Among the pseudo - scientific theories and conspiracy hypothesis are some fun ones , which you ’d expect as they ’re have to vie with an already quite wild and interesting history of Ancient Egypt . One suchidea , be intimate as the " Sphinx water wearing away hypothesis " , has it that the Sphinx is far older than we thought , date back farther than 7000 BCE .

This attract attention , as it would be old than any Egyptian culture that we know of by around3,000 years . According to theteambehind the theory , weathering understand on the Sphinx suggested that it had decease through a draw out rainy period , indicate it was already build before ( or was build during ) a rainy period from 12,000 or 10,000 to about 5,000 old age ago . However , this leave out grounds that give us our good estimation of its real age at around 4,500 years , admit other patterns of weathering , drain of the Nile which could have produced this erosion , and that the Sphinx ’s face resemble pharaoh Khafre , who lived 2603 - 2578 BCE .

One particularly grounds - less legend about the Sphinx is that buried underneath it , there is a " Hall of Records " where an ancient civilization enshroud a treasure trove of documents . Sometimes , the hall is said to control Ancient Egyptian knowledge , while others really go for it and claim that refinement isAtlantis .

It ’s a bold claim , so surely there ’s some evidence for it ? Well , no . The source of the claim appear to be American faith - healerEdgar Cayce , who tell people of the Radclyffe Hall while in a spell , all while claiming to be the rebirth of a gamey non-Christian priest of Atlantis . According to Cayce , an entrance to the hall of phonograph recording was locate by the Sphinx ’s right front hand .

That may be the stupidest paragraph you have show in a while , but brace yourselves , because – free-base on this compelling evidence – the great unwashed have actually looked for the hall of disk .

Outside of dreams , there is no evidence that the hall be . innate cavities , pits , and trapdoors have been found on the Sphinx , as well as a large jam at the top of the headway which could have been used for fixing aheaddress . But despite search , no cavity has been found that could be a Hall of Records , just like you would n’t expect to regain evidence for Hogwarts .
