NARRATOR: Its origins are unknown.

ROBERT SCHOCH: The degree of erosion
that we see has to go back to 10,000 BC.

NARRATOR: Its secrets have remained
hidden for thousands of years.

DAVID CHILDRESS: It was reported that they
found passages into these hidden chambers.

NARRATOR: And it may hold the
truth behind our very existence.

ROBERT BAUVAL: It reads, "I have
under me the knowledge of our genesis."

NARRATOR: The Great Sphinx of Giza is
perhaps the most mysterious monument on Earth.

But once its riddle is solved,

will we find the ultimate proof that our
ancestors were visited by alien beings?

GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: What's
staring us in the face

goes back to when extraterrestrials
walked the earth with human beings.

NARRATOR: Millions of
people around the world

believe we have been visited in
the past by extraterrestrial beings.

What if it were true?

Did ancient aliens really
help to shape our history?

And if so, might the proof lie hidden
with the mysteries of the Sphinx?

- NARRATOR: The Giza Plateau.

Egypt, 1925.

Rising out of the desert sand is a
giant stone statue of a human head.

For centuries, most visitors to the
area believed this was all that existed.

But French engineer
Emile Baraize is convinced

that much more lies beneath the surface
than even archeologists are aware of.

He begins an excavation to uncover it,

and after 11 years of extensive digging,

Baraize unearths a massive
body resembling a lion

and reintroduces the
world to the full splendor

of the Great Sphinx.

It is the largest monolithic
sculpture on Earth.

RAMY ROMANY: It must have been quite eerie

to be there back then, not knowing

a lot about the ancient Egyptian history,

and having this huge
structure staring down at you.

NARRATOR: Facing east
toward the rising sun,

the Great Sphinx is located nearly half a
mile from Egypt's three largest pyramids.

It is carved from a single
piece of limestone bedrock,

and stands over 60 feet
tall and 240 feet long.

TSOUKALOS: People have asked
themselves for centuries.

What was the Sphinx for? Why was it built?

There is a story behind
it, but what is the story?

NARRATOR: The Sphinx is arguably one of
the most studied monuments in the world,

yet it remains one of the most mysterious.

There are no inscriptions on the Sphinx

to indicate who built it or why,

but most Egyptologists
date it to 2,500 BC...

the time of the pharaoh Khafre,

or Chephren, as he is
known by Greek scholars.

The dating is based on a mention of Khafre

on a tablet found between
the paws of the Sphinx.

But this tablet... known
as the Dream Stele...

also tells the story of a pharaoh
who came 1,000 years later...

King Thutmose IV.

ROMANY: King Thutmose IV
comes in a new kingdom,

which we believe is more than 1,000 years

after the time the Sphinx was sculpted.

He made this stele to tell his story.

King Thutmose IV, before becoming
a king, was on an expedition

here in Giza.

And he slept right next to the Sphinx.

And back then, the Sphinx was

covered in sand all the way up to its head.

And in his dream, the sphinx came to him.

JONATHAN YOUNG: The sphinx spoke
to him and said that if he would

uncover the Sphinx from
the burial in the sand,

he would then end up as pharaoh.

Now, he was the son of a
pharaoh but was not the heir.

Thutmose IV ended up with
that throne after this dream.

The sphinx itself speaks
to a future pharaoh

and the history of ancient
Egypt is altered by this fact.

ROMANY: The sphinx told King
Thutmose IV in his sleep...

right here in that line...

that everything that the eye of the Lord

illuminates will be his.

He cleared all the sand
surrounding the Sphinx,

and Thutmose IV then became the king.

So the sphinx kept his promise.

WILLIAM HENRY: Now, the amazing
thing about this is that we learn

of what's called the
"flashing eye of the Lord".

What is the flashing eye of the Lord?

This sounds like some kind of technology

that is in communication with the sphinx
or perhaps channeled by the sphinx,

that could ensure the
prosperity of Thutmose IV.

NARRATOR: If the story on
the Dream Stele is true,

the sphinx not only ensured
the prosperity of Thutmose IV,

but of perhaps the most
important dynastic family

in the history of the Egyptian empire.

CHILDRESS: Thutmose IV was actually
the grandfather of Akhenaten.

NARRATOR: Akhenaten was
considered a heretical pharaoh.

He changed the polytheistic
religion of ancient Egypt

and declared there was only one god: Aten.

A god he depicted as a disk in the sky.

CHILDRESS: Akhenaten became
enthralled with the Aten disk.

Is it possible that the eye of the Lord

and the Aten disk are one and the same

and that they are in fact,
some kind of UFO spaceship

that's hovering over Egypt

as an eye in the sky and is
guiding the Egyptian civilization?

NARRATOR: Could it be that the
eye of the Lord and the Aten

are describing the same object?

And if so, was Egyptian civilization

being guided by extraterrestrials

that used the Sphinx as
a means of communication?

Might the Dream Stele be proof that
this mysterious monolithic statue

was built long before the pharaoh Khafre?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,

and point to yet another line
of the Dream Stele as proof.

BAUVAL: There's something
else written on the Sphinx

that was ignored by Egyptologists.

The Sphinx actually says

"I have been here since the first time."

Now, the word in ancient Egyptian
for "first time" is Zep Tepi.

And what he meant by this
is the time when Osiris had

come at the beginning of the civilization.

TSOUKALOS: The Egyptians
talk about a golden age;

a golden age that existed
12,500 or so years ago.

This is something that goes back at least

8,000 years before the current
accepted chronology of Egypt.

At that time the gods
mingled or walked with men.

NARRATOR: Could this extraordinary monument

be a remnant from a golden age when
extraterrestrials coexisted with humans,

as ancient astronaut theorists suggest?

If so, does the Sphinx date
back thousands of years before

conventional scholars believe possible?

Perhaps further clues of its true age

can be found in the geological
record of the Giza Plateau.

Boston, Massachusetts.

Geologist Dr. Robert Schoch

has studied the geological features
of the Sphinx for over 20 years.

SCHOCH: I looked specifically
at the weathering and erosion

on the body of the Sphinx, on
the walls of the Sphinx enclosure.

I saw weathering patterns
that were not compatible

with the Sahara conditions
of the last 5,000 years.

Here we have a photograph of
the Sphinx on the left side.

This is the rump of the Sphinx. This
is the wall of the Sphinx enclosure.

When you look at this,
these are the lines of rock,

or the strata, as we say, geologically.

You can see how they've been weathered
out, sort of a rounded, rolling profile.

This is caused by rain beating
down and running over the rock.

And this was very evident
to me as a geologist.

(wind whistling) (thunder crashing)

NARRATOR: According to archaeologists,

significant rainfall in the Giza Plateau

would date back to before 3,000 BC,

at least 500 years
before the time attributed

to the building of the Sphinx.

SCHOCH: The degree and level of
erosion that we see on the Great Sphinx

has to go back to that
earlier climatic period,

and not just a few hundred years...
thousands of years before Sahara times.

This put us back to at least 5,000, maybe
7,000, 8,000, I now suspect even 10,000 BC.

TSOUKALOS: If we are to subscribe
to the idea that the Sphinx

displays markings of water erosion,

then that means

that what's staring us in
the face is much, much older

than what mainstream science proposes.

NARRATOR: Is the Sphinx really older than
our history books have led us to believe?

If so, who... or what... was
responsible for its construction?

Perhaps further clues can be found
by examining the face of the Sphinx...

and what it might have looked
like before it was altered.

NARRATOR: Cairo, Egypt. January, 2011.

Thousands of anti-government
protesters clash with riot police.

(people chanting) (whistles blowing)

They are demanding the resignation
of President Hosni Mubarak.

Civil unrest escalates...

leaving hundreds dead and thousands
injured in the wake of the Arab Spring.

Just eight miles away, the Great
Sphinx bears silent witness.

For thousands of years, and
through numerous conflicts,

the monument has remained unscathed,

except for the loss of its nose.

BAUVAL: The nose was broken.

Many people accuse
Napoleon of doing that...

to take potshots with
his cannons. But, in fact,

it was done long before.

KATHLEEN McGOWAN: A Muslim
ruler in the Middle Ages

decided that the Sphinx represented
a guardian of the underworld...

that he was a type of demon
and that he was dangerous.

(thunder crashing)

It was believed that he might
have been some kind of dark god,

and as a result, the Sphinx was vandalized.

NARRATOR: After many years of study,

evidence of just who the
face on the Sphinx belongs to

remains circumstantial and
is debated by researchers.

Most scholars attribute the face to Khafre,

the pharaoh they propose built the Sphinx.

But ancient astronaut theorists claim

that the Sphinx was not built by Khafre,

as mainstream historians suggest.

They say that the Sphinx
predates the age of the pharaohs,

and propose that the
true head of the Sphinx

has not been seen for thousands of years.

TSOUKALOS: Many people have
suggested, including scholars,

that the current head that's
on that massive body...

is way too small for it to
be proportional to the body...

because it was reshaped,
re-carved at a later date.

If you think about that for a moment,

that's highly fascinating, because

what did that thing look
like in its original form?

BAUVAL: It has been suggested that perhaps
originally it was the face of a lion,

or the head of a lion.

McGOWAN: I think there is an argument that
the head of the Sphinx was a full lion's head.

And I think that there
is power to the theory

that the Sphinx actually
represented the constellation of Leo.

NARRATOR: Curiously, there's no
reference to a statue of a Great Sphinx,

or even a great lion,
in any Old Kingdom texts.

But one scholar who has
extensively studied the monument

proposes that this is due to the fact

that it was originally
something entirely different.

ROBERT TEMPLE: When I saw
the body, I instantly thought,

"That's no lion's body."

Now, if you study a lion,

it has great big shoulders...

it has a sloping back.

And so you do not have a
straight back for a lion.

It couldn't be more obvious
that this is a dog's body...

that's exactly how they crouch
when they're in a guarding position.

And there's only one dog it could be...

that has to be Anubis.

Anubis is a dog god,

who is the guardian of
the sacred Necropolis.

Well, Giza is the sacred Necropolis.

And I went through the ancient texts,
and I found it mentioned everywhere.

The Pyramid Texts and the Book of Gates

and the Book of Caverns and the Book
of Two Ways and all those ancient books,

and they're talking
about it the whole time.

The easiest thing to do when trying
to destroy the Sphinx is to knock

the pointy ears and the pointy nose off,

which is what Anubis had.

So this is the remaining stump

from which they could fashion a human head.

That's what they did, and
it was a very clever job,

and everybody's still in awe of
it even though they don't know

any longer that it was meant
to be Anubis at one time.

NARRATOR: The Egyptian god Anubis

is one of the most
prominently featured figures

in all of Egyptian art.

He was considered a protector of graves,

the god of mummification,

and is associated with the
resurrection of the god Osiris.

BAUVAL: Anubis is clearly
identified as a god of the dead.

He symbolizes the afterlife.

His importance is enormous

in these resurrection
activities that went on.

NARRATOR: Is it possible
that the head of the Sphinx

was originally carved to look
completely different than it does today?

And if so,

could it have had the face of Anubis?

A god that ancient
astronaut theorists propose

was an actual being who visited
our planet in the remote past?

CHILDRESS: The Egyptians
themselves genuinely believed

that these were actual beings

who had dog's head or jackal heads.

DAVID WILCOCK: The god Anubis is listed

as one of those who came during Zep Tepi,

or the First Time,

one of the ancient, ancient
ancients who is openly cited

in Egyptian mythology as
being an extraterrestrial.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that the
first pharaohs didn't build the Sphinx,

but discovered it?

And might they have
actually recarved its face?

Perhaps the answer can be found

by examining not when the
Great Sphinx was built, but why.

NARRATOR: The Giza Necropolis, which
consists of three great pyramids,

guarded by the Sphinx,

is the last remaining of the
Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

The original purpose of the complex
is still debated by historians,

as is the connection of the
three pyramids to each other,

and to the Sphinx.

BAUVAL: There is no question in my mind,

and in the mind of many researchers, that
the Giza Necropolis is a planned project.

It isn't just pharaohs who came and

put their pyramids haphazardly,
and then built the Sphinx.

The geometry of the site

makes it very unlikely that
it's not a designed project.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that
the Sphinx and the pyramids

were designed to function together?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,

and suggest a recently unearthed
tomb could provide proof.

Just 200 feet from the Sphinx,

in a causeway connecting the second
pyramid to its temple complex,

is an entrance to what is believed to be the
ceremonial burial chamber of the god Osiris.

The Osiris shaft was
first unearthed in 1934,

but only fully explored in 1999.

ROMANY: This place has
not been visited much.

It's probably been visited only
a handful of times since 1999.

Right here is the first level.

The first level is not that deep.

NARRATOR: The Osiris shaft actually
consists of three different shafts

that descend to three separate chambers.

The final chamber is buried
nearly ten stories underground,

and contains what some say
is the sarcophagus of Osiris.

ROMANY: Here we are a hundred feet deep.

The third and final
chamber in the Osiris shaft.

And here's the sarcophagus
right in front of me.

This is only the lid of the sarcophagus.

The body of the sarcophagus
is under the water,

and it's at least three
times the size of the lid.

And to the four corners of the islands,

there were four pillars that are now

nearly completely destroyed.

The four had hieroglyphic
inscriptions on them.

Some of which read "God Osiris",

the god of the underground."

NARRATOR: While most scholars
believe Osiris to be a mythical being,

and his tomb merely symbolic,

ancient astronaut theorists suggest
that not only was Osiris real,

but this nine-foot sarcophagus

offers evidence of extraterrestrial
intervention in the remote past.

HENRY: The word, "sarcophagus,"
means, "flesh eater."

And this is like a giant black box.

Flesh and blood being goes
into the box, is sealed in it.

The box consumes them,
and the body disappears.

WILCOCK: The idea of a
sarcophagus that has no actual

mummy or body in it
suggests the possibility

of teleportation and the possibility of
the transmutation of the physical body.

It is a suggestion, perhaps,

that those who built that monument

and those underground rooms could completely
portal out of our reality entirely.

NARRATOR: Could it be that what
was discovered in the Osiris shaft

were the remnants of advanced technology?

Technology that would allow
for travel to other worlds?

According to the pyramid texts...

funerary inscriptions that were carved on
the walls of the early Egyptian tombs...

the sacred Necropolis
would serve as a gateway

to the pharaoh's resurrection and ascension

to join the god Osiris in the heavens.

HENRY: The foundational premise of
ancient Egyptian myth is that Osiris

came from the stars,

and that when he was
resurrected, he went and dwelled

in the star system Orion
as a celestial being.

The ancient Egyptians clearly describe

their Great Pyramid as
a resurrection machine,

as a teleportation device.

The Sphinx functioned as the gateway.

CHILDRESS: Egyptologists
have always assumed that

the pyramids in Egypt were
tombs for the pharaohs.

And yet, no pharaoh or Egyptian

dynastic mummy was ever
found in a pyramid in Egypt.

A number of researchers
have recently maintained

that the Great Pyramid, and some
of the other pyramids in Egypt,

are actually these very
sophisticated power plants.

You have to wonder if
the pyramids themselves

weren't created to generate
tremendous amounts of energy.

Energy that was needed
to open the stargates.

And this was part of
the resurrection scheme.

NARRATOR: Could the Giza
complex actually have functioned

as some sort of technological device?

A device that acted as a
transport to other worlds,

as ancient astronaut theorists suggest?

Perhaps further evidence
of such a connection

can be found by examining the precise
alignments found on the Plateau.

Archeo-astronomical analysis has revealed

that the position of the three
great pyramids seem to be mirroring

the three belt stars of Orion.

BAUVAL: There's two bright
stars and a third dimmer star,

which is offset a bit to the left.

Now, the odd thing is that even though

the correlation is very, very clear to see,

the angle that the stars make in the sky

is much sharper than the
angles of the pyramid.

And there is where, after many years of studying
this, I decided to take the leap of faith.

Was there a time when these stars would

be exactly how we see them on the ground?

NARRATOR: The Great Pyramid
contains within it several shafts,

one of which forms a
45-degree angle toward the sky.

Bauval was able to calculate the
historical movement of the stars

to determine the date when the shaft
would point directly to the belt stars.

BAUVAL: Amazingly, when I did this,

what we had was the full set of monuments

locking to this date of 10,500 BC.

NARRATOR: Is it mere coincidence

that the pyramids were strategically aligned
to correspond to the three belt stars of Orion

precisely 12,500 years ago?

And if so,

does this date hold a profound significance

to Earth's history?

Perhaps the answers will be revealed

in the quest to uncover a secret chamber.

NARRATOR: Virginia Beach, Virginia, 1932.

American psychic and healer Edgar Cayce,

known as the sleeping prophet,

gains worldwide attention by remotely
diagnosing illnesses in patients

located hundreds of miles away with
an astounding degree of accuracy.

JOHN VAN AUKEN: He could diagnose
people's physical problems.

He could tell you what's in a book.

He could find something
at a great distance.

He could even read the akashic
record, the book of life.

NARRATOR: During one of
his many psychic trances,

Cayce makes an astonishing
claim regarding the Sphinx.

VAN AUKEN: Edgar Cayce could tell you
about prehistory and reincarnation and

what your soul had been doing
prior to this incarnation.

He actually gave readings for his own soul

that had been a high
priest in ancient Egypt

and was directly associated
with the building of the Sphinx.

WILCOCK: Edgar Cayce had in his readings

a statement that the Sphinx
and the pyramids were built

in approximately 10,490 BC.

There's a strong suggestion that
the Cayce readings were accurate,

and therefore their dating of the Sphinx
and the pyramids also was accurate.

NARRATOR: Up until his death in 1945,

Cayce gave dozens of
readings about the Sphinx.

These readings claimed the Sphinx was
directly related to an ancient civilization

that many believe once
existed here on Earth...

the lost continent of Atlantis.

WILCOCK: The Edgar Cayce
readings specifically say

that Atlantis, as recorded
by Plato, was not a myth.

He leaked that information given
to him by the Egyptian priesthood

and put it into his books
the Timaeus and the Critias.

TSOUKALOS: Here is the interesting thing:

Plato describes that Atlantis existed

exactly at the same
time that ancient Egypt

experienced what they
referred to as a golden age.

NARRATOR: If the Cayce readings about
the existence of Atlantis are true,

then might the Sphinx actually be a remnant

from this advanced civilization?

Perhaps further clues to this connection

can be found with yet another
Cayce prophecy regarding the Sphinx.

YOUNG: Cayce dreamed that under
the right paw of the Sphinx

there was a chamber at
a very specific place,

that apparently hold the hall of records
from the lost civilization of Atlantis,

which Cayce felt he was a direct part of.

VAN AUKEN: When Atlantis was sinking,

the Atlanteans were aware of the
importance of saving these records.

And they also were aware of the need
to hide the records of prehistory.

WILCOCK: If we locate the
original hall of records,

we would be essentially accessing the
equivalent of a Google search engine,

but it's the Atlantean Internet.

So the Sphinx is an entry point

that could reveal once and for all

that humankind is much older
on Earth than we thought.

NARRATOR: The Giza Plateau. 1978.

45 years after Cayce's reading,

The Edgar Cayce Foundation initiates
the Sphinx Exploration Project

for the sole purpose of locating
secret chambers under the Sphinx

that may lead to the hall of records.

BAUVAL: They were allowed,
amazingly, to drill

holes under the Sphinx to
detect this possible chamber.

They drilled eight holes. Unfortunately,
nothing of certainty was found.

They were stopped at the last minute...

apparently they were very close,
they felt... by the Egyptian army.

VAN AUKEN: We did find
anomalies beneath the Sphinx.

Now, these could be chambers,
not just cracks or caves.

Edgar Cayce prophesied that in the future,

and in the relatively near future,

we would discover the secret
chamber of the hall of records.

CHILDRESS: One of the stories of the
Sphinx is that there's a hall of records

that's being kept there.
Uh, certain machines

and technology and libraries
sealed in a special room

until the time is right that
we're ready to discover it.

And that time may be coming soon.

NARRATOR: Is it possible
that there are, in fact,

secret chambers underneath
the Sphinx? And if so,

could they be hiding the hidden
records of a lost civilization?

Or could it be

that if a so-called
hall of records exists,

it doesn't lie in Giza,

but millions of miles away...

on Mars?

NARRATOR: Pasadena,
California. July 4, 1997.

Aerospace engineers at the
Jet Propulsion Laboratory

anxiously await a signal
from the Pathfinder

indicating that it has landed
intact on the surface of Mars.

Thousands of viewers watch live news feeds

as the event unfolds.

The spacecraft has landed. Base pedal down.

(applause, cheering)

NARRATOR: Hours after
its successful landing,

Pathfinder sends the first images from
the surface of Mars in over two decades.

During its 12-week mission,

Mars Pathfinder transmits 2.3
billion bits of information,

including more than 17,000 images.

Among these photos is an image
that some say reveals formations

that mirror the Giza Plateau...

... including what appears to be a sphinx.

CHILDRESS: One of these photographs
shows what looks like a sphinx

that is facing to the
east, uh, sunrise on Mars.

There is a huge pyramid mountain behind it

and you have to wonder
if this Martian sphinx

isn't created by extraterrestrials.

TSOUKALOS: Some have proposed
that there is a mirror image

of the Giza Plateau on Mars

and therefore Mars might
have been inhabited.

And this is why we allegedly
have structures on Mars

that are of artificial origin.

NARRATOR: The idea of
extraterrestrial life inhabiting Mars

has long fascinated mankind.

In 1895, astronomer Percival Lowell

proposed an ancient
civilization built canals on Mars

to bring water from the poles
to keep their society alive.

And since the first landing
on the surface of Mars in 1976,

NASA Mars missions have
focused almost exclusively

on determining if life could
exist on the red planet.

BOB FRISBEE: We've found no
real hard evidence of life.

And yet there's this
tantalizing possibility

where we haven't given up.

We would be looking for a
subterranean civilization,

because surface conditions
are just so harsh. Conceivably,

you could have whole complex
ecosystems existing underground.

CHILDRESS: I think that
if we were to go to Mars

and find civilization there,
much of it would be underground.

And you have to wonder
if this Martian sphinx

isn't guarding some
underground world on Mars

similar to the underground world
at Giza that we know exists today.

NARRATOR: Do the formations
on Mars provide evidence

that the planet was once inhabited?

And if so, does this sphinx on Mars

also serve as a marker of an
entrance to an underground world

and perhaps the true location
of a secret hall of records?

According to some ancient
astronaut theorists,

if this sphinx in Giza truly
has a counterpart on Mars,

it would match up with what has
been found in some of mankind's

earliest writings.

JASON MARTELL: A famous linguist
by the name of Zecharia Sitchin

actually translated
ancient Sumerian tablets

that describe Mars being used as a way
station by their gods, the Anunnaki.

It's very possible that
these ancient Sumerian tales

talking about the Anunnaki
traversing between Mars and Earth

are actual fact and show
a deeper connection of

what we have in Giza and
what we also have on Mars.

TSOUKALOS: Every scientist agrees today

that Mars at some point in time in the past

had an atmosphere not very unlike Earth's.

And so if one were to propose the idea

that at some point intelligent
life inhabited Mars,

what if one of the places that
they escaped to was planet Earth?

NARRATOR: Is it possible
that there is, in fact,

a profound connection
between Earth and Mars?

And could locating a second sphinx
be the key to unlocking the secrets

about our ancient past?

And if so, is it possible that there is
yet another sphinx that holds the key,

one that's even closer to home?

NARRATOR: Giza, 2014.

Large-scale construction
projects and high-rise development

encroach ever closer to the
Sphinx and the Great Pyramids.

Some believe that if the
development continues unchecked,

it will lead to the destruction of
possible archaeological treasures

still buried near the complex.

But others feel that it may
actually force the unearthing

of something more profound, a twin sphinx.

ROMANY: Everything in ancient
Egyptian art is very symmetrical.

There's always two of everything.

When we see huge, big statues,
there's always two colossal statues.

There's always symmetry: two
statues guarding one road.

With the Sphinx, we've only found one.

Some people believe there's another one.

SCHOCH: There are actually
many reasons to believe

it may have had a mate.

When we look at the stele, the New Kingdom
stele between the paws of the Sphinx,

in fact it shows not one
sphinx but two sphinxes.

TSOUKALOS: There were long periods of time

where the Sphinx was not seen.
It was completely covered in sand.

And so the idea would imply that maybe

there are other structures that
are still underneath the sand.

Is it possible that a second
sphinx exists on the Giza Plateau?

NARRATOR: Although most researchers are open to
the idea of a second guardian on the Giza Plateau,

multiple theories exist as
to where this sphinx may be.

According to the Amduat, the
ancient Egyptian funerary text

describing the hourly journey
of the king in the afterlife,

there is said to exist a second
sphinx that faces to the west.

BAUVAL: The fifth hour...

which seems to represent the
Giza Necropolis, by the way...

is protected by one sphinx in the
east, which is the existing sphinx,

but they also show
another sphinx in the back.

Now, physically was there
another one? It's quite possible.

There is certain mounds that
haven't been properly excavated

on the west side, and there
may be the remains of a sphinx.

There certainly isn't a whole sphinx...

we would've seen it by now... but there
may be the foundations of a sphinx.

YOUNG: The nonexistent sphinx

is almost as interesting
as the one we can look at.

Does that location have
any special energy to it?

Is there some reason why life, fate,
the gods would have it disappear?

NARRATOR: Could there really be a second
sphinx located somewhere on the Giza Plateau?

And if so, how has it remained
undiscovered for thousands of years?

HENRY: We know less than 30% of
what's actually underneath the sand,

especially around the Giza Plateau.

So this is one of the exciting
things about studying and

researching ancient Egypt
is this idea that maybe

you'll be able to stumble
into these ultimate secrets

that the ancients assured us are there.

NARRATOR: Would locating a second sphinx

bring us closer to actually solving
the mystery of the Giza Plateau?

And if so,

what might the consequences be if
this information is ever uncovered?

HENRY: If we put all the pieces together,

it suggests that the Sphinx is a
repository for this knowledge about how to

actually use the Great Pyramid.

And once we do that, we're
talking about the ability to

resurrect ourselves as
celestial beings, or star beings,

and join the extraterrestrials who had a
hand in building this incredible complex.

BAUVAL: I very much believe

that the whole thing is a kind of cipher.

And I'll... I'll go to
my grave on this one.

I've worked for 25 years to decipher this
cipher using astronomy, using the texts.

And it reads, "I have under me
the knowledge of our genesis."

YOUNG: Whatever it is we figure out,

whatever we discover when we get there,

it's not gonna look like
we thought it would look.

NARRATOR: Is the Sphinx the ultimate proof

that extraterrestrials were here
on Earth in the ancient past?

And if so, might there be clues
hidden within this monolithic statue

that not only reveal the
truth about our history

but why we are here

and how we can finally reconnect
with our alien ancestors?
