Did Maury Povich really discover what's under the Sphinx?

There is alot of circumstantial evidence

A few years ago, I saw a show on FOX about unearthing egyptian mysteries or something. The show followed Maury Povich as he helped to find a new mummy and towards the end of the show, they travelled under the sphinx to a secret chamber, where there was a big pool of water or something. I dont remember all the details and I cant find much info online.

Has anyone else seen this or have any information about it?

I hear people talk about the Sphinx a lot and no one seems to mention the Discovery by Povich and his team.

The resistivity work done in 1976 around the Sphinx was very brief and wide electrode spacings were used. The 1978 resistivity work was much more thorough and our team used (as I recall) one-foot electrode spacings. Patti Burns and John Tanzi of the SRI team did the 1978 resistivity work, however none of us has been able to locate our logs and print outs. We were not funded for additional data analysis and the results of the resistivity work done on-site were relativity uninteresting. The few minor resistivity anomalies the team mapped were compared with high-frequency seismic soundings over the same area (the Sphinx platform and the Sphinx Temple floors). On the basis of these anomalies decisions were made in the field about where to drill holes in the bedrock.

With permission from the Giza Inspectorate we drilled a total of 5 four-inch drill holes on each the significant resistivity/seismic anomalies. Three holes were in the temple area below the sphinx and two were in the platform (bedrock floor) around the sphinx itself. We originally had hoped to drill at least six more holes around the Sphinx, but this was not not done because of the limited time and budget as well as because of the concerns of the A.O. that we might in some way damage the Sphinx.

Our resistivity work and drilling around the Sphinx in 1978 was in fact sponsored by the A. R. E. in Mark Lehner's early days, however that did not prevent us from advising them that we did not find the legendary Edgar Cayce Hall of Records under the right paw. I share your views that Mark has done a lot of good and praiseworthy research. I had several deep conversations with Hugh Lynn Cayce before he died about his father Edgar Cayce's unconventional Middle Eastern chronology. Hugh Lynn was quite candid with me about his own suspicions that his father may have been way off base in this one area of his psychic "readings."

Sadly, I think many people would prefer destruction of the old Sphynx so that they could try to prove Cayce

The "hall of records" is unlikely.

Hanslune, you may consider this differently, but would you not consider the various groups to claim discovery of supposed tunnels and chambers, through various methods to be circumstantial?

John Anthony West claimed to discover tunnels and chambers beneath the sphinx, one leading off toward the pyramids.

Boris Said's discovery, discoveries of underground tunnels and chambers, subsequently leading to the discovery of the Tomb of Osiris.

To me, this says there is something there, what it is I'm not sure, but the fact they have been denying it publicly for about a decade makes me suspicious.

Then we have all the legends built up around them, could they be based on truth, thats my view anyway.

Hans: Yes but are they UNDER the Sphinx?

Hans: Yep that was his claim but was it of the known short tunnels? Or the known Osiris stuff?

Hans: Ah why? I think you are getting two separate areas mixed up

1. tunnels and stuff NEAR the Sphinx that have been explored, ie the Osiris stuff

2. short tunnels into the Sphinx that have been explored, they are thought to have been made by guys digging for treasure in ancient times.

The "hall of records" is unlikely. Go to any library and have a look at how much floor space it takes up, and then realize that they don't have even 1/1,000,000th of all the books published currently. There is no evidence that the sphynx was used in this context, and the very stele between its paws does not talk about secret knowledge (that's the tablet... go look at a picture of the sphynx) but does talk about a dream where it is asking to be restored.

Oh and if anyone could ever find something that remotely looks like Atlantis it might spur research in that area.......we await the discovery.

Well, again, if it's a network, there still could be and probably is IMO, more tunnels and chambers to be discovered, who knows what's down there.

In that case, it would have been revealed a long time ago, since tunnels cause the ground to be unstable.

Did you see the recent Discovery Channel program on diging up the Maginot line? They talked about how the tunnels would collapse over time and cows and other things would fall into them.

A network under a gazillion pound structure would have caused the structure (already crumbling) to fall apart quickly.

Figure 8: Surveys near the Sphinx. We detected four distinct sets of anomalies. Anomaly 1 may be a wall which served as an extension of the "Sphinx Ditch" which bounds the Great Sphinx on the north. Anomaly 2 may be the remnant of a stage built in 1969 and removed in 1996. Anomaly 3 is of an unknown nature, perhaps a void beneath the surface. Anomaly 4 is caused by the modern road which runs through the area. The dotted lines show where Tremaine's vehicle ran in performing the survey.
