Megalithic Marvels - Second Sphinx Discovered Under Giza?

Episode Date: March 31, 2026

Does the Great Sphinx of Giza have a twin? Has a second Sphinx really been discovered under Giza? Did the ancient Egyptians leave behind cryptic clues of a hidden second Sphinx? Stick with me to the very end of this video because I’m going to break it all down for you and show you the arial photos and scans surrounding this alleged discovery by an Italian research team. And what about the Great Sphinx of Giza? Could it actually be older than 10,000 BC based on the heavy water erosion found around its enclosure? And why is its head smaller than its body? Is this because it was originally a lion head, before the Dynastic Egyptians of 2,500 BC found it buried under the sands of time, and reshapedit into that of a man?JOIN ME ON A TOUR

Does the great sphinx of Giza have a twin and has a second sphinx been discovered under the Giza plateau? And did the ancient Egyptians leave behind cryptic clues of a hidden second sphinx that we can look at? And what about the first sphinx, the great sphinx? Why is its head smaller than its body? Does it really date to circa 10,000 BC and did the Dynastiki, Egyptians of 2500 BC find it buried under the sands of time and recarve its head into that of a man. And what might its original head have been? Well, make sure to stick with me to the very end of this video because I'm going to break it all down for you

and show you the aerial photos and scans surrounding the alleged discovery of this second sphinx and show you all their seats on these mysteries concerning the great sphinx of Giza. Now, positioned between the paws of the great sphinx is an ancient tablet known as the Dream Stella, and it is believed to have been placed there by the ancient Egyptian pharaoh, Tertmos IV in 1401 BC. And depicted on this ancient Egyptian tablet is not one, but two distinct sphinx figurines, which some have theorized hint that the legendary monument may have had had. a twin in ages past. And now the Italian researchers who claim to have uncovered massive underground structures

beneath the Giza Plateau last year, these same guys believe they have identified the second guardian buried deep beneath the sands. Now, Felipeo Biondi, he is the leader of this Italian research team and he revealed this alleged discovery just last week while speaking on the Matt Bell Limitless Pondi. podcast where he shared how he believes that there is more truth than myth behind the imagery on the dream Stella, saying basically that the carvings there are showing the two Sphinx figurines are not just symbolic in his opinion, but may instead point to clues regarding the layout of the monuments themselves. Biondi then went on to share how a trusted researcher had shared

with he and his team a specific spot on the Giza Plateau where this, researcher was sure there was a second sphinx. And so basically, Biondi in a nutshell, pointed his SARS scanning technology at this specific spot. And then they began to correlate the position of the first sphinx to the position of this hypothetical second sphinx. And based on the location, they say they found 100% precise geometric correlation to the first sphinx. And using satellite, Radar technology, the SARS technology, which is capable of detecting the subtle ground vibrations, Biondi basically claimed the data points to a massive structure, a concealed beneath this 100-plus-foot-tall high mound of hardened sand,

which he said is composed of solidified sand rather than just natural bedrock. He then shared that preliminary scans show vertical shafts and passageways with dense, vertical lines believed to represent solid walls of underground shafts rather than just empty voids. Biondi showed satellite images of the Giza Plateau that revealed a mound on the surface. This is that 100 plus foot, a tall mound that he believes is right above this second sphinx. Biondi said this, quote, That small mountain has a height of approximately 108 feet. The first sphinx sits slightly below the surrounding surface in a shallow depression,

so it is possible the second sphinx could be hidden beneath this higher mound, end quote. Now, despite the dramatic implications of this alleged discovery of Felipe Biondi did emphasize that fieldwork remains essential before any definitive conclusions can really be made. Okay, now here's where it gets really interesting. So about a day after this news broke of an alleged Second Sphinx discovery that went viral around the world. A day after this broke, some photos started to surface and making rounds all over X and the internet, showing this 1929 aerial photo of the Giza Plateau, and in this 1929 photo, and guess what's not there? this apparent sand mound under which this second sphinx is alleged to be.

The mound is nowhere to be seen. Then researchers like Trevor Grasse and Jimmy Corsetti began to share this 1929 photo next to a 2021 photo showing the exact same spot on the Giza Plateau. And in the 1929 photo, again, the mound is not there, but in the 2021 photo, the mound is there. Now, both of these researchers are guys I really respect. In fact, I did an interview with Trevor just a few months ago, if you want to check that out about the secret underworld of Giza. But Trevor posted the following information, which I thought was interesting. He says this, this mound is comprised of materials excavated out of the Western Cemetery. And if we were to excavate it today, the ground, that is all we would find, the ground.

However, let's keep in mind a few important points. For one, it is not impossible that a sphinx may be found below that level, as the great sphinx itself is mostly subterranean, and designed to be buried in sand intentionally for its own protection, in my opinion. Second, I have learned from working extensively on the ground that when excess fill is excavated, it is always dumped on areas with significant, underground entrances in a deliberate effort to keep them buried.

Leading to a third and perhaps most important consideration of all, Felipe did discover massive structures below the surface at this site. So whether or not there is a sphinx present, there is very clearly something extraordinarily important below this location, which should be investigated regardless. The presence of the sphinx is only theory at this point, but the presence of vast underground structures there is shown clearly in the SAR scan. So look, with eyes unclouded by expectation, and understand there is something important here that should not be dismissed, but investigated.

Great points there by Trevor Grosse. Now, as I said, Jimmy Corsetti also shared these photos, and here's what he said. This is undoubtedly a heap of earth from the clearing of sense. sand excavation dumps in the last 100 years. However, I still advocate for digging a simple test hole to establish if there is a second sphinx buried below. Although, I admit that I have significant doubts on this alleged discovery and on the validity of the alleged capabilities of SARS scans itself. I also know this will be debated all over the internet until it is definitely proven one way or the other. So I say dig the test hole.

The last thing, the growing global interest in lost ancient civilization needs is another fake BS discovery, which only hurt the credibility of this fascinating field. So interesting thoughts there by Jimmy. Now, Matt Bell, who interviewed Philippo Biondi on his Limitless podcast last week and broke the news, he responded to Jimmy's ex post. Here's what he said, which I found very fascinating. Matt says, I agree, and I would add that GPR, or ground penetrating radar should be used in the entire area to see if any areas are more interesting than others. That might get 30 to 100 feet of visibility, and that would be a great start to decide where to dig. So cool to see Matt Bell weighing in on this entire controversy that came from his interview with Philippo Bionde, who brought this alleged discovery about a second

possible sphinx hidden under the sands. And then today, author, a researcher, explorer, Andrew Collins, who I've also interviewed on this podcast before regarding ancient history and Karahan Tepe, another researcher I greatly respect. He weighed in on this whole controversy. And I thought Andrew made some great points since he's been instrumental in actually revealing some of Giza's underground cave world to us. I believe he was one of the first in modern times to kind of stumble upon the tomb of the birds, as they call it there. But Andrew says this, quote, The 270 feet long mound of hardened sand that Felipeo Biondi and the Kaffre Sars project have recently proposed as hiding Gies' second sphinx is no more.

than a spoil heap created through excavations sometime after 1920. The good news is that the site became of interest to the Italian team through an examination of scan data, showing deep underground features at the location situated at the extreme western end of the Plateau's Western Cemetery. Since it is immediately in front of the Tomb of the Birds, the only acknowledged entrance in Giza's cave world, this is very interesting indeed.

It suggests that what Biondi have found links in some manner with Giza's natural cave world. Whether we are looking at natural cavities or artificial shafts and chambers remains to be seen. We look forward to further investigations in this respect. The other important factor in this detection is that the relationship between Biondi's proposed second sphinx site and the position of the existing Sphinx monument is quite remarkable and goes some way to confirm there is an exact geometry behind the layout of the Giza Pyramid Field that is reflective both of the plateau's underlying geology

and thus the natural flow of its caves and fissures in the limestone bedrock and the connection with the Milky Way overhead during the epoch of the pyramid age. So some very informative and interesting reflections there from some other fellow researchers that I respect. Now, because of this 1929 photo that shows no mound present, as you can imagine, you've got all kinds of mainstream debunkers coming out of the woodwork in droves to try and make a laughing stock of Felipe Biondi and the Italian research team and their alleged discovery of a second Sphinx claim,

as well as their previous claims last year of huge megastructures buried under the Coffrey pyramid. And while they're at it, they're really just trying to discredit the entire alternative history movement of which I'm a part. But in my humble opinion, this is really all misguided because of several factors. Again, not only does this dream stella in between the paws of the great sphinx depict two sphinx figurines, but as Trevor Grosse points out, it's not impossible that a second sphinx could be found below that level if they actually allowed us to dig, because as we talked about with a great sphinx itself, it is subterranean and buried under the bedrock. It's in this enclosure that sits way down below the bedrock. So you can imagine over millennia the thing was buried.

But what's more? This theory of a second sphinx has actually been around. quite a long time. In fact, it goes all the way back to like the 12th century where a guy named Muhammad al-Idrisi, who was a geographer, whom the Norman King of Sicily commissioned to create a geographic atlas of the world. This geographer, he proposed the idea of a second sphinx hidden somewhere on the east bank of the Nile. And there's been many others that have looked at the dream stella and other hints that have wondered, is there a second great sphinx hidden somewhere under the Giza Plateau?

Well, I'd love to know what you guys think. Based on everything you just saw and heard, do you think there is a second sphinx hidden under the Giza Plateau? Leave me a comment and let me know, yes, there's a second sphinx, or no, there is not. But second sphinx or not, let's not let's not let's not let me know. that distract us from the wonder and the mystery of the great sphinx that is the great sphinx of Giza. And for the remainder of this episode, I want to examine or reexamine some of the

greatest mysteries surrounding it, which I think are going to blow your mind. And also consider joining me on one of my 2006 tours. We are going to Peru and Bolivia this September, ancient Turkey in October and then we're going to end the year in Egypt in the first part of December and these are going to be some of the best tours that I've ever led and each of these

tours includes airport pickup and drop off all transportation and lodging during the tour at least two meals per day site tickets and English speaking guides but most importantly of all not only will we have the time of our lives hanging out and having fun

but you will learn the hidden history of these ancient civilizations as we go in search of evidence of lost technology and as we go to see sites and places that most tourists would miss.

So according to standard Egyptological thinking, the great sphinx of Giza was carved from the limestone bedrock on the orders of the old kingdom Pharaoh Kaffre around 2,500 BC. However, why is the head of the sphinx smaller in proportion to the rest of its body?

And why on the body of the sphinx and on the walls of its enclosure did geologist Robert Schock find heavy erosional features that he concluded could have only been caused by massive rainfall and water runoff. You see the Sphinx sits on the edge of the Sahara Desert, and according to geologist Robert Schock, the region has been quite arid for the last 5,000 years. Furthermore, various structures securely dated to the old kingdom of the dynastic rulers show only erosion that was caused by wind and sand, which is very different than water erosion. So shock concluded that the oldest portions of the great sphinx, what he refers to as the core body, must date back to a much earlier period. And his latest research now points to the end of, get this, the last ice age, circa around 10,000 BC, a time when the climate would have been very different and included much more precipitation and rain.

Now when Robert Schock released all of his findings in documentation regarding the age of the Sphinx, I think this was back in the 90s, the mainstream archaeologist went nuts. They said this was impossible for the Sphinx to be this old. And the biggest reason they gave back then was that there was no other megalithic sites known to be some 12,000 years old. However, fast forward now with the discoveries of Gaubeckley-Tepe, which are widely, believed to be at least 11,600 years old, many of these same archaeologists have basically been forced to rewrite their timeline. And I like what Graham Hancock pointed out on this note. He said that if an ancient civilization could make Gobeckley-Tepi with its 20-ton ornately carved megaliths some 11,600

years ago, then they could certainly also craft the great sphinx from the limestone bedrock of Giza some 12,000 years ago. So did the dynastic Egyptians of 2,500 BC find the sphinx buried under the sands of time and recarve the damaged head into that of a man? Is this why the head is smaller than the body. It's because the head likely was something else and it began to get eroded. And after thousands of thousands of years when the dynastic Egyptians came along, they just saw this weathered head, which I believe was likely a lioness, which I'm going to unpack for you in a moment. And then they chiseled away at it with their good old hammers and chisels that they were really good with. And they formed it into the current head that is. And also, is there an ancient library hidden under the Sphinx?

Let's dive into this. In his paper titled, The Lioness Mehet, Dr. Robert Schock shares the following. Quote, Dr. Sefazda revealed to us an amazing discovery he had made, hieroglyphic evidence dating back to earliest dynastic times that apparently refers to the great sphinx, and an archive under the Sphinx. The Pharaoh Kufu, Fourth Dynasty, said to be the traditional builder of the Great Pyramid. Kufu's vizier was a man named Hymuni,

a beautiful statue of whom was discovered on the Giza Plateau in 1912. On the base of the statue of Hymuni, there is a dual tandem title that has eluded full translation by the Egyptological establishment. This tandem title is not an isolated instance. It is also found elsewhere. This title goes back in time well before Kufu in the

fourth dynasty, as it is also found on wooden panels of Hesara, a high official to the court of the Pharaoh-Josier of the third dynasty. This tandem title consists of seven distinct symbols written in the following order. One, an axe. Two, read and an inkwell, forming a single symbol. Three, a sedge, which is a plant found in Egypt, four bread, five an axe, and six, a bent rod. This is a mysterious, previously undeciphered sign, and seven, a recumbent lioness. The axe symbol is standardly translated along the lines of overseer, architect, master, builder, and denotes some sort of high official. The reed and inkwell, sedge and breadloaf associated with the first portion of the duels. title have genuinely been translated to mean that the official holding this title was the overseer

of the royal scribes and or architects. An extremely important position for such a person would be responsible for royal records and accounts essential in governing the vast territory held by the pharaoh. The lioness appears to be in the name of the goddess Mehead, who could act as a protectorist taking the form of a female lion. Thus Egyptologist William Stevenson Smith translated this title as, quote, craftsman of Mehet, end quote. In the inscription on the wooden panels of Hesera,

the vertical bent rod appears to touch the back of the lioness. This is a symbol that has alluded Egyptologists, in part due to its extreme rarity. More recently, some Egyptologists have associated the bent rod with a more than. post used in the docking of a boat. But this appears to be based simply on a superficial visual similarity to mooring post and neither seems convincing nor makes sense in the context under consideration. I believe that Dr. Sefazda solved the mystery of the bent rod by his suggestion that it represents

a physical key that was used to open a lock. But why would anyone stick a key in the back of a lioness. This makes no more sense than sticking a mooring post in her back unless the lioness represents something else, such as a building or statue protecting a locked chamber or vault. Was the physical structure securing or protecting a locked vault in the shape of a lioness? During the seismic work that Dr. Thomas Dobeki and I carried out around the Great Sphinx in the early 90s, we located a chamber under the sphinx in the vicinity of the left paw. Seismic probing has also revealed a hollow space beneath the great sphinx's northern paw, and the signal demarcations in geometry suggests this space was man-made,

raising the intriguing possibility of a hidden and secured stony vault within the bedrock under the great sphinx where ancient records may have been kept. Now the second portion of the dual title refers to an overseer, master guardian, or possessor of a key that opened a vault that was an archive, a hall of records guarded by a lioness. Furthermore, based on the striking similarity between Mahit and the lioness in the dual title, this guardian lioness is Mahit. In the real physical world, one might suspect that the actual archive was located in the chamber under the great. Sphinx and prior to the recarving of it said the Sphinx was a representation of the lioness Mehit. The dual title can be translated concretely as quote overseer of the scribes of the king and master of the key to the lioness or more fluently as the king's chief

librarian and guardian of the royal archives of Mahit. Therefore there is a strong case to be made that as early as the first dynasty, when some of the first written records in Egypt were kept, that the Sphinx, which at the time was a lioness named Mehet, existed on the Giza plateau and guarded a locked chamber where archives were stored. Now, the name given to the great Sphinx before the new kingdom remains a mystery. From Votiv Stella's made during and after this era, it appears that the physical monument's name was Horam Akhet, which translates as Horus in the horizon, and was probably inspired by the constellation Leo, in whose direction the physical sphinx was oriented on vernal equinoxes during the 11th and 10th millennia

BC, and on summer solstices during the time of the old kingdom during the 3rd millennium BC. Robert Schock goes on to say that Mahit connects the idea of a solar lioness and the sun with prehistoric torrential rains and flooding. Based on the evidence, he believes this harkens back to the end of the last ice age, again, circa 9,700 BC, when a major solar outburst, or outbursts, as he believes, snapped earth out of its last ice age, concurrently melting glaciers and evaporating massive amounts of water that subsequently fell as torrential rains causing widespread flooding and in coastal areas exacerbated by the rise in sea levels at the end of the last ice age. So, according to geologist Robert Schock, in the name Mahit, the ancient dynastic Egyptians

encoded and memorialized the solar outburst and accompanying torrential rains of circa 9,700 BC in the Sphinx. And furthermore, he believes this happened during the age of Leo at which the time the earlier sphinx, the lioness Mehet, faced the sun located in the constellation of Leo, as together the sun and Leo rose in the sky on the morning of the vernal. Equinox. So there you have it. Now we may know why the head of the sphinx is smaller than its body. It's likely because it's not the original head. It was recarved and the old head was likely that of a lioness based on these clues in these 5,000-year-old hieroglyphs that talk about mehet and this lioness,

this guardian of a royal archive, which if true, That means the dynastic Egyptians were writing about the Sphinx as being ancient in their day 5,000 years ago, which would reinforce this idea that the origins of the great Sphinx date back to a remote time in prehistory long, long before the dynastic Egyptians of 3,500 B.C. But I would love to know what you think based on everything you just heard. Do you think the Great Sphinx head was different than it originally is now? Do you think it was that of a lioness before? Or maybe you think it was of an Anubis dog or something else? I'd love to know what you think.
