Description:
( http://heritage-key.com/blogs/keith-payne/drilling-under-sphinx-heritage-key-video-about-keeping-your-paws-dry ) Dr Zahi Hawass and Dr Mark Lehner talk about the latest conservation tests being carried out at the Great Sphinx, Giza, to test whether this iconic Egyptian landmark is at risk of a rising water table. Assisted by the Cairo University, the team are making holes around the Sphinx to check the porosity of the limestone underneath, as well as a side-benefit of being able to test the theories of whether there are hidden chambers and tunnels underneath.

Jul 4, 2010 - Edgar Cayce(Sleeping Prophet) in one of his readings stated there would be a large vault beneath the "left paw of the Sphinx" and it would be discovered inside this vault what Ancient called "Books of Knowledge". Which are the books that they wrote "everything" that occured up to their times. I suspect these drill holes is to locate the vault than underground water.

Aug 29, 2010 - Too much damage has been done by drilling and even dynamite on that area its good that they are being careful. However I do wish they would use an advanced automated Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Magnetrometry, Resistivity and Conductivity over the whole plateau. That way we get a full picture without damaging the whole site until Egypt has the resources to do it right.

Sep 16, 2010 - @joyceline79 if your business was about digging things up and claiming to have invented them, getting everyone to say it's alien technology and you can't invent anything yourself as no one kknows where their headquarters are located to go and apply for a job, wouldn't you also hide anything you find

Sep 18, 2010 - why Obama wanted to be there? They know this is "library of sorts" for the annunaki. Whats up with the room of gold under there? Astral travel?

Sep 25, 2010 - I find it interesting that their stated goal is to "disprove New-Age ideas" about a chamber and not to "either prove or disprove them". Dr. Lehner can't keep himself from smirking when he says it. An honest scientist would be willing to accept whatever the truth turns out to be. Of course the Egyptian government decides what truth and how much truth is disseminated. Dr. Hawass is loyal to the king. If he were not, he'd be replaced.

Sep 30, 2010 - it's the sphinx's left paw as it's standing towards the camera

Oct 4, 2010 - Arabs have come to Egypt as if they were the builders of the Sphinx and some European guy assistant makes claims that he holds secrets of the fountain of youth.

Dec 21, 2010 - wow - egypt conspiracy ppl are crazy crazy deluded! (Thats nearly everyone here lol)

Dec 29, 2010 - If they wanna put the mystery to rest can't they just do some seismography or something? Send some shock waves through the ground and see the density?
lostmania64 Says:
Jan 2, 2011 - its obvious theres something there and its really not suprising in my opinion that they are keeping it secret because every government has more secrets than truths. maybe we can get lucky and julian assange wil come out with something! hahaha
SGTRandyB Says:
Jan 10, 2011 - Conspiracy such as this is so easily laid to rest. Publicly published seismic readings. So why hasn't that been done you must ask? Possibly to enhance the pyramid mystery, it does attract the curious after all, boosting Egyptian economy.Or just maybe.......

Jan 16, 2011 - Not very scientific, huh?
erichb22 Says:
Jan 22, 2011 - Half way betveen the Kheops and the Sphinx there are huge chamber and tunnels connected the Piramids and the Sphinx. The chamber is the grave of Osiris and there are a lot of information about the Universe, ancient civilisation and Humanity. Zahi Hawass once started to tell that accidentaly on the TV in show in 1995 meanwhile he was asking about the book by Graham Hancock. This is a kind of information they don't really wanna talk about.

Jan 31, 2011 - It's supposed to be under the right paw not the left.

Feb 7, 2011 - The main thing is to get funding.
castersen13 Says:
Feb 9, 2011 - they found the secret chamber 25 meters below when they did the ground survey with sonar. they only drilled 10 meters under the paw in this video.
