Yeah, looks like it is only a myth. It is however a very intriguing one nonetheless. Gets people interested at least.

If the Hall of Records do exist and if it's going to be opened sometime in the future, then this myth is a waaaay more exciting way to open it up than if the pyramid janitor just happens to stumble across it while en route to the bathroom after indulging himself to an extra helping of koshari...

What was all the talk about a group finding anomalies using GPR underneath the sphinx? They said it looked very much like a chamber. Then I remember reading that no one was allowed to dig because they didn't think the sphinx could hold the weight.

They were supposedly drafting plans to drill in from an angle. This was all a few years ago I believe, so what ever happened with this? I may have heard this on the History Channel, and I know for a fact something similar is mentioned in more than one book I have in my collection, the most recent mention in my books being from the year 2000...

So if there was a chamber there, it was known about since at least then. I think that's where I read about the radar images. I don't know, as it is hard to find things out when the people with access aren't making an effort to educate the world on their findings. At least they aren't to my knowledge.

They did do that. Zahi set that up at the request of the ARE - one of the 'favors' I alluded to above. The "drill at an angle" idea was based on a Egyptian image John Van Auken pointed out to Zahi.

Unfortunately, they ran into a problem that many drills do on the plaeteau - the water table.

There were plans to try again - but then the whole Arab Spring thing and Zahi resigning, so who knows what will happen now.
