This is fact. There is a 'secret chamber' under the 'paw'. It is fact that it has, indeed, not been opened! Why? Cause Hawass will not allow it to be opened.

I will endeavor to find the article(s) saying such, but I do remember reading them, which have been years ago.

Hawass is in charge of this site and the relating Giza Complex, among a slew' of other areas. Hawass is downplaying this and has refused it being excavated due to what he calls "inconceivable, and unforseen damage(s) to the Sphinx itself."

Well, it is only a matter of time before Hawass is unable to do is job. Hopefully the next in line will be more willing.

The show you are talking about is on the discovery channel every month or so and is hosted by Charlton Heston and called The Mystery of the Sphinx. The main part of it is about how the Sphinx has water erosion and not sand erosion and from the dates the erosion took place it's older then archeologists believe and more importantly older then Kufu who according to Egyptologists is the one that created the Sphinx in the first place. Basically a geologist’s vs. Egyptologists debate.

One of the more interesting things on the show was this guy that showed how the layout of the great pyramids and some of the smaller pyramids in Egypt are located in a formation that matches the formation of the stars of Orion.

They then go in to theories on who built it and in the discussions talk about Cayce who said there was a hall of records of Atlantis located under the right paw of the Sphinx along with a tunnel system (he also said another hall is located on the Yucatan peninsula). Later in the show they had a guy who did the sonar tests and detected a cavity under the paw that looked to be square and not a natural formation.

nice name, mxy.
yeah, i watched that documentary on the sphinx etc, and it seemed pretty clear that the sphinx was water-eroded. So why the frikkin uproar in the scientific community? Its like they had questioned Darwin or something.....
A: Its all about power.
Anyway, there's a temple in egypt that, according to my sources, had tunnels under it, on3 of which was unexplored and led in a westward direction. One article states that people were known to emerge or have emerged from there, and that when students dissapeared down this tunnel, the Egyptian government sealed it off(bastards!). Just like what the Maltese officials did regarding the Hypogeum of Hal Saflienti.

Well, if it is indeed the Egyptian Government who is preventing the exploration (which it very well could be), then why is Howass complying now? On something so important? It is true that he has gone behind the officials and done work...why not now?

Because as I pointed out he is caught between a rock and a hard place. He is most likely juggling people resources etc around to try to get the truth but when you have to compete against a government its gonna be tricky now is n`t.

I'm with Cassini on this one. I don't see any justification in slamming Howass. And you ask why isn't he doing work despite the government...do you know he is not???

do you even know for sure that there isn't government-condoned work going on???

I don't think you do know one way or the other, right?

You are exactly right about Hawass. As a rule I change the channel if he is involved with whatever digs they may be talking about.

agreed. Zahi Hawass is a jerk of the highest magnitude. I remember about 3 or 4 years ago there was a show that featured the live opening of an Egyptian tomb, and Hawass spent the entire show hitting on the comely female host and trying to grab her behind. it seems like that any new show to be made about ancient Egypt that wants the government's cooperation must have him involved. ick.

edit: I know nothing about Hawass, but something about his manner makes him come off awful on TV. just my personal opinion.

there was a guy on tv that was in an underground part of a pyramid and was going to go in this one hallway that was supposed to lead to under the sphinx and they said they would put that on tv but never did

I read that, I also read that a race of Aliens (named "Kamagol") came to Earth and helped man build the Pyramids. Supposedly, in the main hidden chamber, there are golden discs (not UFO's, but more like laser data discs) that hold a massive history lesson about the rest of the universe. I wish I could remember where I read this, but unfortunately I can't.

In the meantime there are always the Akashic Records to entertain ourselves with.

I herd that all the missing single socks in the world are under the sphinx! But we wont know till it is opened.

I have to say I am bummed it was Casey who said it was the hall of records because I LOVE the idea...but MEH I do not trust the man.

Cayce never said the hall of records was under the paws of the sphinx, so get your facts straight people!
