These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:02,501 --> 00:00:05,999 Its origins are unknown. 2 00:00:05,999 --> 00:00:08,999 The degree of erosion that we see has to go 3 00:00:08,999 --> 00:00:12,999 back to 10,000 BC. Its secrets have 4 00:00:12,999 --> 00:00:14,999 remained hidden for thousands of years. 5 00:00:14,999 --> 00:00:17,876 It was reported that they found 6 00:00:17,876 --> 00:00:21,999 passages into these hidden chambers. 7 00:00:21,999 --> 00:00:26,999 And it may hold the truth behind our very existence. 8 00:00:26,999 --> 00:00:30,999 It reads, "I have under me the knowledge of 9 00:00:30,999 --> 00:00:36,999 our genesis." The Great Sphinx of 10 00:00:36,999 --> 00:00:41,999 Giza is perhaps the most mysterious monument on Earth. 11 00:00:41,999 --> 00:00:45,999 But once its riddle is solved, will we find the ultimate proof 12 00:00:45,999 --> 00:00:49,999 that our ancestors were visited by alien beings? 13 00:00:49,999 --> 00:00:52,999 What's staring us in the face goes back 14 00:00:52,999 --> 00:00:58,999 to when extraterrestrials walked the earth with human beings. 15 00:00:58,999 --> 00:01:02,999 Millions of people around the world believe we have 16 00:01:02,999 --> 00:01:06,999 been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings. 17 00:01:06,999 --> 00:01:12,999 What if it were true? Did ancient aliens really help 18 00:01:12,999 --> 00:01:17,999 to shape our history? And if so, might the proof lie 19 00:01:17,999 --> 00:01:22,999 hidden with the mysteries of the Sphinx? 20 00:01:50,999 --> 00:01:55,999 The Giza Plateau. 21 00:01:55,999 --> 00:02:02,334 Egypt, 1925. Rising out of the desert sand is 22 00:02:02,334 --> 00:02:06,999 a giant stone statue of a human head. 23 00:02:06,999 --> 00:02:11,876 For centuries, most visitors to the area believed this was all 24 00:02:11,876 --> 00:02:14,999 that existed. But French engineer Emile 25 00:02:14,999 --> 00:02:19,999 Baraize is convinced that much more lies beneath the surface 26 00:02:19,999 --> 00:02:24,334 than even archeologists are aware of. 27 00:02:24,334 --> 00:02:28,999 He begins an excavation to uncover it, and after 11 years 28 00:02:28,999 --> 00:02:32,999 of extensive digging, Baraize unearths a massive body 29 00:02:32,999 --> 00:02:36,999 resembling a lion and reintroduces the world to the 30 00:02:36,999 --> 00:02:42,999 full splendor of the Great Sphinx. 31 00:02:42,999 --> 00:02:48,334 It is the largest monolithic sculpture on Earth. 32 00:02:48,334 --> 00:02:52,876 It must have been quite eerie to be there 33 00:02:52,876 --> 00:02:56,000 back then, not knowing a lot about the ancient Egyptian 34 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:03,334 history, and having this huge structure staring down at you. 35 00:03:07,167 --> 00:03:11,999 Facing east toward the rising sun, the Great Sphinx 36 00:03:11,999 --> 00:03:14,999 is located nearly half a mile from Egypt's three largest 37 00:03:14,999 --> 00:03:19,334 pyramids. It is carved from a single piece 38 00:03:19,334 --> 00:03:25,334 of limestone bedrock, and stands over 60 feet tall and 240 feet 39 00:03:25,334 --> 00:03:29,999 long. People have asked 40 00:03:29,999 --> 00:03:34,999 themselves for centuries. What was the Sphinx for? 41 00:03:34,999 --> 00:03:38,999 Why was it built? There is a story behind it, but 42 00:03:38,999 --> 00:03:45,999 what is the story? The Sphinx is 43 00:03:45,999 --> 00:03:49,999 arguably one of the most studied monuments in the world, yet it 44 00:03:49,999 --> 00:03:56,999 remains one of the most mysterious. 45 00:03:56,999 --> 00:03:59,999 There are no inscriptions on the Sphinx to indicate who built it 46 00:03:59,999 --> 00:04:07,334 or why, but most Egyptologists date it to 2,500 BC-- 47 00:04:07,334 --> 00:04:13,999 the time of the pharaoh Khafre, or Chephren, as he is known by 48 00:04:13,999 --> 00:04:17,999 Greek scholars. The dating is based on a mention 49 00:04:17,999 --> 00:04:21,999 of Khafre on a tablet found between the paws of the Sphinx. 50 00:04:21,999 --> 00:04:26,876 But this tablet-known as the Dream Stele-also tells the 51 00:04:26,876 --> 00:04:30,876 story of a pharaoh who came 1,000 years later-- 52 00:04:30,876 --> 00:04:35,999 King Thutmose IV. King Thutmose IV 53 00:04:35,999 --> 00:04:39,999 comes in a new kingdom, which we believe is more than 1,000 years 54 00:04:39,999 --> 00:04:43,999 after the time the Sphinx was sculpted. 55 00:04:43,999 --> 00:04:47,999 He made this stele to tell his story. 56 00:04:47,999 --> 00:04:51,876 King Thutmose IV, before becoming a king, was on an 57 00:04:51,876 --> 00:04:56,999 expedition here in Giza. And he slept right next to the 58 00:04:56,999 --> 00:04:59,999 Sphinx. And back then, the Sphinx was 59 00:04:59,999 --> 00:05:03,999 covered in sand all the way up to its head. 60 00:05:03,999 --> 00:05:07,999 And in his dream, the sphinx came to him. 61 00:05:07,999 --> 00:05:10,999 The sphinx spoke to him and said that if he 62 00:05:10,999 --> 00:05:14,334 would uncover the Sphinx from the burial in the sand, he would 63 00:05:14,334 --> 00:05:18,999 then end up as pharaoh. Now, he was the son of a pharaoh 64 00:05:18,999 --> 00:05:22,334 but was not the heir. Thutmose IV ended up with that 65 00:05:22,334 --> 00:05:27,334 throne after this dream. The sphinx itself speaks to a 66 00:05:27,334 --> 00:05:32,167 future pharaoh and the history of ancient Egypt is altered by 67 00:05:32,167 --> 00:05:36,999 this fact. The sphinx told King 68 00:05:36,999 --> 00:05:40,999 Thutmose IV in his sleep-right here in that line-that 69 00:05:40,999 --> 00:05:45,999 everything that the eye of the Lord illuminates will be his. 70 00:05:45,999 --> 00:05:49,999 He cleared all the sand surrounding the Sphinx, and 71 00:05:49,999 --> 00:05:52,876 Thutmose IV then became the king. 72 00:05:52,876 --> 00:05:56,999 So the sphinx kept his promise. Now, the 73 00:05:56,999 --> 00:06:00,999 amazing thing about this is that we learn of what's called 74 00:06:00,999 --> 00:06:04,999 the "flashing eye of the Lord". What is the flashing eye of the 75 00:06:04,999 --> 00:06:06,999 Lord? This sounds like some kind of 76 00:06:06,999 --> 00:06:10,999 technology that is in communication with the sphinx 77 00:06:10,999 --> 00:06:13,999 or perhaps channeled by the sphinx, that could ensure the 78 00:06:13,999 --> 00:06:18,999 prosperity of Thutmose IV. If the story on the 79 00:06:18,999 --> 00:06:23,999 Dream Stele is true, the sphinx not only ensured the prosperity 80 00:06:23,999 --> 00:06:28,000 of Thutmose IV, but of perhaps the most important dynastic 81 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,999 family in the history of the Egyptian empire. 82 00:06:31,999 --> 00:06:36,999 Thutmose IV was actually the grandfather of 83 00:06:36,999 --> 00:06:39,999 Akhenaten. Akhenaten was 84 00:06:39,999 --> 00:06:43,999 considered a heretical pharaoh. He changed the polytheistic 85 00:06:43,999 --> 00:06:48,999 religion of ancient Egypt and declared there was only one god: 86 00:06:48,999 --> 00:06:52,334 Aten. A god he depicted as a disk in 87 00:06:52,334 --> 00:06:54,999 the sky. Akhenaten became 88 00:06:54,999 --> 00:06:59,334 enthralled with the Aten disk. Is it possible that the eye of 89 00:06:59,334 --> 00:07:03,999 the Lord and the Aten disk are one and the same and that they 90 00:07:03,999 --> 00:07:08,334 are in fact, some kind of UFO spaceship that's hovering over 91 00:07:08,334 --> 00:07:14,167 Egypt as an eye in the sky and is guiding the Egyptian 92 00:07:14,167 --> 00:07:18,999 civilization? Could it be that 93 00:07:18,999 --> 00:07:22,999 the eye of the Lord and the Aten are describing the same 94 00:07:22,999 --> 00:07:26,999 object? And if so, was Egyptian 95 00:07:26,999 --> 00:07:30,999 civilization being guided by extraterrestrials that used the 96 00:07:30,999 --> 00:07:35,167 Sphinx as a means of communication? 97 00:07:35,167 --> 00:07:39,999 Might the Dream Stele be proof that this mysterious monolithic 98 00:07:39,999 --> 00:07:43,999 statue was built long before the pharaoh Khafre? 99 00:07:43,999 --> 00:07:47,999 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and point to yet another 100 00:07:47,999 --> 00:07:53,999 line of the Dream Stele as proof. 101 00:07:53,999 --> 00:07:56,999 There's something else written on the Sphinx that 102 00:07:56,999 --> 00:08:02,999 was ignored by Egyptologists. The Sphinx actually says "I have 103 00:08:02,999 --> 00:08:09,709 been here since the first time." Now, the word in ancient 104 00:08:09,709 --> 00:08:12,999 Egyptian for "first time" is Zep Tepi. 105 00:08:12,999 --> 00:08:17,000 And what he meant by this is the time when Osiris had come at the 106 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:23,000 beginning of the civilization. The Egyptians talk 107 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:30,999 about a golden age; a golden age that existed 12,500 or so years 108 00:08:30,999 --> 00:08:34,999 ago. This is something that goes back 109 00:08:34,999 --> 00:08:38,999 at least 8,000 years before the current accepted chronology of 110 00:08:38,999 --> 00:08:45,999 Egypt. At that time the gods mingled or 111 00:08:45,999 --> 00:08:52,999 walked with men. Could this 112 00:08:52,999 --> 00:08:56,709 extraordinary monument be a remnant from a golden age when 113 00:08:56,709 --> 00:09:00,709 extraterrestrials coexisted with humans, as ancient astronaut 114 00:09:00,709 --> 00:09:06,999 theorists suggest? If so, does the Sphinx date back 115 00:09:06,999 --> 00:09:10,999 thousands of years before conventional scholars believe 116 00:09:10,999 --> 00:09:14,334 possible? Perhaps further clues of its 117 00:09:14,334 --> 00:09:17,999 true age can be found in the geological record of the Giza 118 00:09:17,999 --> 00:09:28,334 Plateau. Boston, Massachusetts. 119 00:09:28,334 --> 00:09:32,999 Geologist Dr. Robert Schoch has studied the geological features 120 00:09:32,999 --> 00:09:36,999 of the Sphinx for over 20 years. I looked specifically 121 00:09:36,999 --> 00:09:41,334 at the weathering and erosion on the body of the Sphinx, on the 122 00:09:41,334 --> 00:09:44,999 walls of the Sphinx enclosure. I saw weathering patterns that 123 00:09:44,999 --> 00:09:47,999 were not compatible with the Sahara conditions of the last 124 00:09:47,999 --> 00:09:51,999 5,000 years. Here we have a photograph of the 125 00:09:51,999 --> 00:09:56,999 Sphinx on the left side. This is the rump of the Sphinx. 126 00:09:56,999 --> 00:09:59,999 This is the wall of the Sphinx enclosure. 127 00:09:59,999 --> 00:10:02,999 When you look at this, these are the lines of rock, or the 128 00:10:02,999 --> 00:10:06,999 strata, as we say, geologically. You can see how they've been 129 00:10:06,999 --> 00:10:09,999 weathered out, sort of a rounded, rolling profile. 130 00:10:09,999 --> 00:10:14,334 This is caused by rain beating down and running over the rock. 131 00:10:14,334 --> 00:10:18,999 And this was very evident to me as a geologist. 132 00:10:22,334 --> 00:10:25,999 According to archaeologists, significant 133 00:10:25,999 --> 00:10:29,999 rainfall in the Giza Plateau would date back to before 3,000 134 00:10:29,999 --> 00:10:34,999 BC, at least 500 years before the time attributed to the 135 00:10:34,999 --> 00:10:39,999 building of the Sphinx. The degree and level 136 00:10:39,999 --> 00:10:43,999 of erosion that we see on the Great Sphinx has to go back to 137 00:10:43,999 --> 00:10:47,999 that earlier climatic period, and not just a few hundred 138 00:10:47,999 --> 00:10:50,999 years-thousands of years before Sahara times. 139 00:10:50,999 --> 00:10:54,999 This put us back to at least 5,000, maybe 7,000, 8,000, I now 140 00:10:54,999 --> 00:11:00,999 suspect even 10,000 BC. If we are to 141 00:11:00,999 --> 00:11:04,999 subscribe to the idea that the Sphinx displays markings of 142 00:11:04,999 --> 00:11:10,999 water erosion, then that means that what's staring us in the 143 00:11:10,999 --> 00:11:16,167 face is much, much older than what mainstream science 144 00:11:16,167 --> 00:11:21,999 proposes. Is the Sphinx 145 00:11:21,999 --> 00:11:26,999 really older than our history books have led us to believe? 146 00:11:26,999 --> 00:11:30,999 If so, who-or what-was responsible for its 147 00:11:30,999 --> 00:11:34,167 construction? Perhaps further clues can be 148 00:11:34,167 --> 00:11:38,167 found by examining the face of the Sphinx... and what it might 149 00:11:38,167 --> 00:11:42,999 have looked like before it was altered. 150 00:11:49,099 --> 00:11:55,099 Cairo, Egypt. January, 2011. 151 00:11:55,099 --> 00:12:00,099 Thousands of antigovernment protesters clash with riot police. 152 00:12:00,099 --> 00:12:02,099 They are demanding the 153 00:12:02,099 --> 00:12:06,099 resignation of President Hosni Mubarak. 154 00:12:06,099 --> 00:12:12,099 Civil unrest escalates... leaving hundreds dead and 155 00:12:12,099 --> 00:12:16,099 thousands injured in the wake of the Arab Spring. 156 00:12:19,099 --> 00:12:24,099 Just eight miles away, the Great Sphinx bears silent witness. 157 00:12:24,099 --> 00:12:28,099 For thousands of years, and 158 00:12:28,099 --> 00:12:33,099 through numerous conflicts, the monument has remained unscathed, 159 00:12:33,099 --> 00:12:39,099 except for the loss of its nose. 160 00:12:39,099 --> 00:12:43,099 The nose was broken. Many people accuse Napoleon of 161 00:12:43,099 --> 00:12:48,099 doing that... to take potshots with his cannons. 162 00:12:48,099 --> 00:12:52,099 But, in fact, it was done long before. 163 00:12:52,099 --> 00:12:55,099 A Muslim ruler in the Middle Ages decided 164 00:12:55,099 --> 00:12:59,099 that the Sphinx represented a guardian of the underworld... 165 00:12:59,099 --> 00:13:02,099 that he was a type of demon and that he was dangerous. 166 00:13:02,099 --> 00:13:06,099 It was believed that he might 167 00:13:06,099 --> 00:13:10,099 have been some kind of dark god, and as a result, the Sphinx was 168 00:13:10,099 --> 00:13:15,601 vandalized. After many years of 169 00:13:15,601 --> 00:13:19,976 study, evidence of just who the face on the Sphinx belongs to 170 00:13:19,976 --> 00:13:26,099 remains circumstantial and is debated by researchers. 171 00:13:26,099 --> 00:13:29,601 Most scholars attribute the face to Khafre, the pharaoh they 172 00:13:29,601 --> 00:13:37,099 propose built the Sphinx. But ancient astronaut theorists 173 00:13:37,099 --> 00:13:41,099 claim that the Sphinx was not built by Khafre, as mainstream 174 00:13:41,099 --> 00:13:45,099 historians suggest. They say that the Sphinx 175 00:13:45,099 --> 00:13:49,099 predates the age of the pharaohs, and propose that the 176 00:13:49,099 --> 00:13:53,099 true head of the Sphinx has not been seen for thousands of 177 00:13:53,099 --> 00:13:56,976 years. Many people have 178 00:13:56,976 --> 00:14:01,099 suggested, including scholars, that the current head that's on 179 00:14:01,099 --> 00:14:09,099 that massive body... is way too small for it to be proportional 180 00:14:09,099 --> 00:14:14,099 to the body... because it was reshaped, 181 00:14:14,099 --> 00:14:17,601 re-carved at a later date. If you think about that for a 182 00:14:17,601 --> 00:14:22,099 moment, that's highly fascinating, because what did 183 00:14:22,099 --> 00:14:27,099 that thing look like in its original form? 184 00:14:27,099 --> 00:14:30,099 It has been suggested that perhaps originally it was 185 00:14:30,099 --> 00:14:33,099 the face of a lion, or the head of a lion. 186 00:14:33,099 --> 00:14:35,601 McGOWAN: I think there is an argument that the head of the 187 00:14:35,601 --> 00:14:41,099 Sphinx was a full lion's head. And I think that there is power 188 00:14:41,099 --> 00:14:43,601 to the theory that the Sphinx actually represented the 189 00:14:43,601 --> 00:14:51,601 constellation of Leo. Curiously, there's 190 00:14:51,601 --> 00:14:55,267 no reference to a statue of a Great Sphinx, or even a great 191 00:14:55,267 --> 00:15:01,099 lion, in any Old Kingdom texts. But one scholar who has 192 00:15:01,099 --> 00:15:05,099 extensively studied the monument proposes that this is due to the 193 00:15:05,099 --> 00:15:09,099 fact that it was originally something entirely different. 194 00:15:09,099 --> 00:15:12,099 When I saw the body, I instantly thought, 195 00:15:12,099 --> 00:15:18,099 "That's no lion's body." Now, if you study a lion, it has 196 00:15:18,099 --> 00:15:24,099 great big shoulders... it has a sloping back. 197 00:15:24,099 --> 00:15:28,099 And so you do not have a straight back for a lion. 198 00:15:28,099 --> 00:15:31,099 It couldn't be more obvious that this is a dog's body-- 199 00:15:31,099 --> 00:15:33,099 that's exactly how they crouch when they're in a guarding 200 00:15:33,099 --> 00:15:37,099 position. And there's only one dog it 201 00:15:37,099 --> 00:15:41,099 could be-that has to be Anubis. 202 00:15:41,099 --> 00:15:45,099 Anubis is a dog god, who is the guardian of the sacred 203 00:15:45,099 --> 00:15:49,099 Necropolis. Well, Giza is the sacred 204 00:15:49,099 --> 00:15:51,976 Necropolis. And I went through the ancient 205 00:15:51,976 --> 00:15:55,099 texts, and I found it mentioned everywhere. 206 00:15:55,099 --> 00:15:58,099 The Pyramid Texts and the Book of Gates and the Book of 207 00:15:58,099 --> 00:16:00,267 Caverns and the Book of Two Ways and all those ancient 208 00:16:00,267 --> 00:16:04,099 books, and they're talking about it the whole time. 209 00:16:04,099 --> 00:16:07,099 The easiest thing to do when trying to destroy the Sphinx is 210 00:16:07,099 --> 00:16:11,099 to knock the pointy ears and the pointy nose off, which is what 211 00:16:11,099 --> 00:16:15,099 Anubis had. So this is the remaining stump 212 00:16:15,099 --> 00:16:18,434 from which they could fashion a human head. 213 00:16:18,434 --> 00:16:22,099 That's what they did, and it was a very clever job, and 214 00:16:22,099 --> 00:16:25,099 everybody's still in awe of it even though they don't know any 215 00:16:25,099 --> 00:16:29,099 longer that it was meant to be Anubis at one time. 216 00:16:32,099 --> 00:16:35,099 The Egyptian god Anubis is one of the most 217 00:16:35,099 --> 00:16:39,099 prominently featured figures in all of Egyptian art. 218 00:16:39,099 --> 00:16:42,601 He was considered a protector of graves, the god of 219 00:16:42,601 --> 00:16:47,099 mummification, and is associated with the resurrection of the god 220 00:16:47,099 --> 00:16:53,099 Osiris. Anubis is clearly 221 00:16:53,099 --> 00:16:59,099 identified as a god of the dead. He symbolizes the afterlife. 222 00:16:59,099 --> 00:17:04,099 His importance is enormous in these resurrection activities 223 00:17:04,099 --> 00:17:10,099 that went on. Is it possible that 224 00:17:10,099 --> 00:17:13,099 the head of the Sphinx was originally carved to look 225 00:17:13,099 --> 00:17:16,099 completely different than it does today? 226 00:17:16,099 --> 00:17:22,601 And if so, could it have had the face of Anubis? 227 00:17:22,601 --> 00:17:27,601 A god that ancient astronaut theorists propose was an actual 228 00:17:27,601 --> 00:17:31,099 being who visited our planet in the remote past? 229 00:17:31,099 --> 00:17:35,099 The Egyptians themselves genuinely believed 230 00:17:35,099 --> 00:17:40,099 that these were actual beings who had dog's head or jackal 231 00:17:40,099 --> 00:17:43,099 heads. The god Anubis 232 00:17:43,099 --> 00:17:47,601 is listed as one of those who came during Zep Tepi, or the 233 00:17:47,601 --> 00:17:53,099 First Time, one of the ancient, ancient ancients who is openly 234 00:17:53,099 --> 00:17:59,601 cited in Egyptian mythology as being an extraterrestrial. 235 00:18:01,434 --> 00:18:04,267 Is it possible that the first pharaohs didn't build 236 00:18:04,267 --> 00:18:09,099 the Sphinx, but discovered it? And might they have actually 237 00:18:09,099 --> 00:18:14,099 recarved its face? Perhaps the answer can be found 238 00:18:14,099 --> 00:18:19,099 by examining not when the Great Sphinx was built, but why. 239 00:18:25,099 --> 00:18:28,099 The Giza Necropolis, which consists of 240 00:18:28,099 --> 00:18:32,099 three great pyramids, guarded by the Sphinx, is the last 241 00:18:32,099 --> 00:18:36,099 remaining of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. 242 00:18:36,099 --> 00:18:40,099 The original purpose of the complex is still debated by 243 00:18:40,099 --> 00:18:44,099 historians, as is the connection of the three pyramids to each 244 00:18:44,099 --> 00:18:48,099 other, and to the Sphinx. There is no question 245 00:18:48,099 --> 00:18:53,099 in my mind, and in the mind of many researchers, that the Giza 246 00:18:53,099 --> 00:18:56,267 Necropolis is a planned project. It isn't just pharaohs who came 247 00:18:56,267 --> 00:18:59,099 and put their pyramids haphazardly, and then built the 248 00:18:59,099 --> 00:19:01,601 Sphinx. The geometry of the site makes 249 00:19:01,601 --> 00:19:07,099 it very unlikely that it's not a designed project. 250 00:19:08,099 --> 00:19:11,099 Is it possible that the Sphinx and the pyramids were 251 00:19:11,099 --> 00:19:16,099 designed to function together? Ancient astronaut theorists say 252 00:19:16,099 --> 00:19:20,099 yes, and suggest a recently unearthed tomb could provide 253 00:19:20,099 --> 00:19:25,099 proof. Just 200 feet from the Sphinx, 254 00:19:25,099 --> 00:19:28,099 in a causeway connecting the second pyramid to its temple 255 00:19:28,099 --> 00:19:33,099 complex, is an entrance to what is believed to be the ceremonial 256 00:19:33,099 --> 00:19:38,099 burial chamber of the god Osiris. 257 00:19:38,099 --> 00:19:44,099 The Osiris shaft was first unearthed in 1934, but only 258 00:19:44,099 --> 00:19:53,099 fully explored in 1999. This place has not 259 00:19:53,099 --> 00:19:55,099 been visited much. It's probably been visited only 260 00:19:55,099 --> 00:20:04,099 a handful of times since 1999. Right here is the first level. 261 00:20:04,099 --> 00:20:08,099 The first level is not that deep. 262 00:20:08,099 --> 00:20:11,099 The Osiris shaft actually consists of three 263 00:20:11,099 --> 00:20:15,099 different shafts that descend to three separate chambers. 264 00:20:15,099 --> 00:20:20,601 The final chamber is buried nearly ten stories underground, 265 00:20:20,601 --> 00:20:26,099 and contains what some say is the sarcophagus of Osiris. 266 00:20:28,099 --> 00:20:32,976 Here we are a hundred feet deep. 267 00:20:32,976 --> 00:20:36,099 The third and final chamber in the Osiris shaft. 268 00:20:36,099 --> 00:20:39,099 And here's the sarcophagus right in front of me. 269 00:20:39,099 --> 00:20:43,099 This is only the lid of the sarcophagus. 270 00:20:43,099 --> 00:20:47,099 The body of the sarcophagus is under the water, and it's at 271 00:20:47,099 --> 00:20:50,099 least three times the size of the lid. 272 00:20:50,099 --> 00:20:54,099 And to the four corners of the islands, there were four pillars 273 00:20:54,099 --> 00:20:58,099 that are now nearly completely destroyed. 274 00:20:58,099 --> 00:21:01,099 The four had hieroglyphic inscriptions on them. 275 00:21:01,099 --> 00:21:08,099 Some of which read "God Osiris, the god of the underground." 276 00:21:08,099 --> 00:21:11,099 While most scholars believe Osiris to be a mythical 277 00:21:11,099 --> 00:21:15,099 being, and his tomb merely symbolic, ancient astronaut 278 00:21:15,099 --> 00:21:19,099 theorists suggest that not only was Osiris real, but this 279 00:21:19,099 --> 00:21:22,601 nine-foot sarcophagus offers evidence of extraterrestrial 280 00:21:22,601 --> 00:21:28,601 intervention in the remote past. The word, 281 00:21:28,601 --> 00:21:31,099 "sarcophagus," means, "flesh eater." 282 00:21:31,099 --> 00:21:35,099 And this is like a giant black box. 283 00:21:35,099 --> 00:21:39,434 Flesh and blood being goes into the box, is sealed in it. 284 00:21:39,434 --> 00:21:44,434 The box consumes them, and the body disappears. 285 00:21:46,099 --> 00:21:49,099 The idea of a sarcophagus that has no 286 00:21:49,099 --> 00:21:54,601 actual mummy or body in it suggests the possibility of 287 00:21:54,601 --> 00:21:58,099 teleportation and the possibility of the transmutation 288 00:21:58,099 --> 00:22:04,099 of the physical body. It is a suggestion, perhaps, 289 00:22:04,099 --> 00:22:09,099 that those who built that monument and those underground 290 00:22:09,099 --> 00:22:15,099 rooms could completely portal out of our reality entirely. 291 00:22:19,099 --> 00:22:21,601 Could it be that what was discovered in the 292 00:22:21,601 --> 00:22:25,434 Osiris shaft were the remnants of advanced technology? 293 00:22:25,434 --> 00:22:30,099 Technology that would allow for travel to other worlds? 294 00:22:30,099 --> 00:22:35,099 According to the pyramid texts-- funerary inscriptions that were 295 00:22:35,099 --> 00:22:39,099 carved on the walls of the early Egyptian tombs-the sacred 296 00:22:39,099 --> 00:22:42,601 Necropolis would serve as a gateway to the pharaoh's 297 00:22:42,601 --> 00:22:46,099 resurrection and ascension to join the god Osiris in the 298 00:22:46,099 --> 00:22:48,099 heavens. The foundational 299 00:22:48,099 --> 00:22:51,601 premise of ancient Egyptian myth is that Osiris came from the 300 00:22:51,601 --> 00:22:56,099 stars, and that when he was resurrected, he went and dwelled 301 00:22:56,099 --> 00:23:00,099 in the star system Orion as a celestial being. 302 00:23:00,099 --> 00:23:05,099 The ancient Egyptians clearly describe their Great Pyramid as 303 00:23:05,099 --> 00:23:09,601 a resurrection machine, as a teleportation device. 304 00:23:09,601 --> 00:23:14,099 The Sphinx functioned as the gateway. 305 00:23:15,201 --> 00:23:19,699 Egyptologists have always assumed that the pyramids 306 00:23:19,699 --> 00:23:22,699 in Egypt were tombs for the pharaohs. 307 00:23:22,699 --> 00:23:28,699 And yet, no pharaoh or Egyptian dynastic mummy was ever found in 308 00:23:28,699 --> 00:23:33,699 a pyramid in Egypt. A number of researchers have 309 00:23:33,699 --> 00:23:37,699 recently maintained that the Great Pyramid, and some of the 310 00:23:37,699 --> 00:23:40,699 other pyramids in Egypt, are actually these very 311 00:23:40,699 --> 00:23:45,699 sophisticated power plants. You have to wonder if the 312 00:23:45,699 --> 00:23:49,699 pyramids themselves weren't created to generate tremendous 313 00:23:49,699 --> 00:23:54,201 amounts of energy. Energy that was needed to open 314 00:23:54,201 --> 00:23:58,034 the stargates. And this was part of the 315 00:23:58,034 --> 00:24:05,699 resurrection scheme. Could the Giza 316 00:24:05,699 --> 00:24:08,699 complex actually have functioned as some sort of technological 317 00:24:08,699 --> 00:24:12,699 device? A device that acted as a 318 00:24:12,699 --> 00:24:16,699 transport to other worlds, as ancient astronaut theorists 319 00:24:16,699 --> 00:24:23,201 suggest? Perhaps further evidence of such 320 00:24:23,201 --> 00:24:26,699 a connection can be found by examining the precise alignments 321 00:24:26,699 --> 00:24:32,034 found on the Plateau. Archeo-astronomical analysis has 322 00:24:32,034 --> 00:24:35,867 revealed that the position of the three great pyramids seem to 323 00:24:35,867 --> 00:24:40,699 be mirroring the three belt stars of Orion. 324 00:24:40,699 --> 00:24:44,699 There's two bright stars and a third dimmer star, 325 00:24:44,699 --> 00:24:47,576 which is offset a bit to the left. 326 00:24:47,576 --> 00:24:53,699 Now, the odd thing is that even though the correlation is very, 327 00:24:53,699 --> 00:24:58,699 very clear to see, the angle that the stars make in the sky 328 00:24:58,699 --> 00:25:03,201 is much sharper than the angles of the pyramid. 329 00:25:03,201 --> 00:25:06,699 And there is where, after many years of studying this, I 330 00:25:06,699 --> 00:25:09,576 decided to take the leap of faith. 331 00:25:09,576 --> 00:25:14,034 Was there a time when these stars would be exactly how we 332 00:25:14,034 --> 00:25:18,867 see them on the ground? The Great Pyramid 333 00:25:18,867 --> 00:25:22,699 contains within it several shafts, one of which forms a 334 00:25:22,699 --> 00:25:28,867 45-degree angle toward the sky. Bauval was able to calculate the 335 00:25:28,867 --> 00:25:32,699 historical movement of the stars to determine the date when the 336 00:25:32,699 --> 00:25:36,699 shaft would point directly to the belt stars. 337 00:25:36,699 --> 00:25:42,867 Amazingly, when I did this, what we had was the full 338 00:25:42,867 --> 00:25:49,034 set of monuments locking to this date of 10,500 BC. 339 00:25:51,201 --> 00:25:54,699 Is it mere coincidence that the pyramids 340 00:25:54,699 --> 00:25:57,699 were strategically aligned to correspond to the three belt 341 00:25:57,699 --> 00:26:02,699 stars of Orion precisely 12,500 years ago? 342 00:26:02,699 --> 00:26:08,201 And if so, does this date hold a profound significance to Earth's 343 00:26:08,201 --> 00:26:11,699 history? Perhaps the answers will be 344 00:26:11,699 --> 00:26:17,699 revealed in the quest to uncover a secret chamber. 345 00:26:22,190 --> 00:26:27,244 Virginia Beach, Virginia, 1932. 346 00:26:27,270 --> 00:26:31,199 American psychic and healer 347 00:26:31,199 --> 00:26:35,199 Edgar Cayce, known as the sleeping prophet, gains 348 00:26:35,199 --> 00:26:39,199 worldwide attention by remotely diagnosing illnesses in patients 349 00:26:39,199 --> 00:26:43,199 located hundreds of miles away with an astounding degree of 350 00:26:43,199 --> 00:26:46,199 accuracy. He could 351 00:26:46,199 --> 00:26:48,199 diagnose people's physical problems. 352 00:26:48,199 --> 00:26:50,199 He could tell you what's in a book. 353 00:26:50,199 --> 00:26:52,534 He could find something at a great distance. 354 00:26:52,534 --> 00:26:58,367 He could even read the akashic record, the book of life. 355 00:27:00,199 --> 00:27:04,199 During one of his many psychic trances, Cayce 356 00:27:04,199 --> 00:27:08,199 makes an astonishing claim regarding the Sphinx. 357 00:27:08,199 --> 00:27:11,199 Edgar Cayce could tell you about prehistory and 358 00:27:11,199 --> 00:27:16,199 reincarnation and what your soul had been doing prior to this 359 00:27:16,199 --> 00:27:20,199 incarnation. He actually gave readings for 360 00:27:20,199 --> 00:27:24,199 his own soul that had been a high priest in ancient Egypt and 361 00:27:24,199 --> 00:27:30,199 was directly associated with the building of the Sphinx. 362 00:27:30,199 --> 00:27:34,199 Edgar Cayce had in his readings a statement that 363 00:27:34,199 --> 00:27:39,199 the Sphinx and the pyramids were built in approximately 364 00:27:39,199 --> 00:27:43,199 10,490 BC. There's a strong suggestion that 365 00:27:43,199 --> 00:27:47,199 the Cayce readings were accurate, and therefore their 366 00:27:47,199 --> 00:27:52,076 dating of the Sphinx and the pyramids also was accurate. 367 00:27:56,199 --> 00:28:01,199 Up until his death in 1945, Cayce gave dozens of 368 00:28:01,199 --> 00:28:05,199 readings about the Sphinx. These readings claimed the 369 00:28:05,199 --> 00:28:08,199 Sphinx was directly related to an ancient civilization that 370 00:28:08,199 --> 00:28:14,199 many believe once existed here on Earth-the lost continent of 371 00:28:14,199 --> 00:28:17,199 Atlantis. The Edgar Cayce 372 00:28:17,199 --> 00:28:22,199 readings specifically say that Atlantis, as recorded by Plato, 373 00:28:22,199 --> 00:28:26,199 was not a myth. He leaked that information given 374 00:28:26,199 --> 00:28:31,199 to him by the Egyptian priesthood and put it into his 375 00:28:31,199 --> 00:28:34,199 books the Timaeus and the Critias. 376 00:28:34,199 --> 00:28:37,199 Here is the interesting thing: Plato 377 00:28:37,199 --> 00:28:43,199 describes that Atlantis existed exactly at the same time that 378 00:28:43,199 --> 00:28:48,199 ancient Egypt experienced what they referred to as a golden 379 00:28:48,199 --> 00:28:54,199 age. If the Cayce 380 00:28:54,199 --> 00:28:58,199 readings about the existence of Atlantis are true, then might 381 00:28:58,199 --> 00:29:04,199 the Sphinx actually be a remnant from this advanced civilization? 382 00:29:04,199 --> 00:29:08,199 Perhaps further clues to this connection can be found with yet 383 00:29:08,199 --> 00:29:13,199 another Cayce prophecy regarding the Sphinx. 384 00:29:13,199 --> 00:29:16,199 Cayce dreamed that under the right paw of the 385 00:29:16,199 --> 00:29:20,199 Sphinx there was a chamber at a very specific place, that 386 00:29:20,199 --> 00:29:24,199 apparently hold the hall of records from the lost 387 00:29:24,199 --> 00:29:27,199 civilization of Atlantis, which Cayce felt he was a direct part 388 00:29:27,199 --> 00:29:31,199 of. When Atlantis was 389 00:29:31,199 --> 00:29:35,199 sinking, the Atlanteans were aware of the importance of 390 00:29:35,199 --> 00:29:39,199 saving these records. And they also were aware of the 391 00:29:39,199 --> 00:29:43,199 need to hide the records of prehistory. 392 00:29:43,199 --> 00:29:47,199 If we locate the original hall of records, we 393 00:29:47,199 --> 00:29:49,199 would be essentially accessing the equivalent of a Google 394 00:29:49,199 --> 00:29:54,199 search engine, but it's the Atlantean Internet. 395 00:29:54,199 --> 00:29:58,199 So the Sphinx is an entry point that could reveal once and for 396 00:29:58,199 --> 00:30:03,909 all that humankind is much older on Earth than we thought. 397 00:30:08,199 --> 00:30:13,199 The Giza Plateau. 1978. 398 00:30:13,199 --> 00:30:17,199 45 years after Cayce's reading, The Edgar Cayce Foundation 399 00:30:17,199 --> 00:30:22,199 initiates the Sphinx Exploration Project for the sole purpose of 400 00:30:22,199 --> 00:30:27,076 locating secret chambers under the Sphinx that may lead to the 401 00:30:27,076 --> 00:30:30,199 hall of records. They were allowed, 402 00:30:30,199 --> 00:30:34,199 amazingly, to drill holes under the Sphinx to detect this 403 00:30:34,199 --> 00:30:38,199 possible chamber. They drilled eight holes. 404 00:30:38,199 --> 00:30:42,199 Unfortunately, nothing of certainty was found. 405 00:30:42,199 --> 00:30:45,199 They were stopped at the last minute-apparently they were 406 00:30:45,199 --> 00:30:48,199 very close, they felt-by the Egyptian army. 407 00:30:48,199 --> 00:30:51,701 We did find anomalies beneath the Sphinx. 408 00:30:51,701 --> 00:30:56,199 Now, these could be chambers, not just cracks or caves. 409 00:30:56,199 --> 00:31:00,199 Edgar Cayce prophesied that in the future, and in the 410 00:31:00,199 --> 00:31:05,199 relatively near future, we would discover the secret 411 00:31:05,199 --> 00:31:11,199 chamber of the hall of records. One of the stories 412 00:31:11,199 --> 00:31:15,199 of the Sphinx is that there's a hall of records that's being 413 00:31:15,199 --> 00:31:18,199 kept there. Uh, certain machines and 414 00:31:18,199 --> 00:31:25,076 technology and libraries sealed in a special room until the time 415 00:31:25,076 --> 00:31:28,199 is right that we're ready to discover it. 416 00:31:28,199 --> 00:31:33,199 And that time may be coming soon. 417 00:31:33,199 --> 00:31:36,534 Is it possible that there are, in fact, secret 418 00:31:36,534 --> 00:31:41,199 chambers underneath the Sphinx? And if so, could they be hiding 419 00:31:41,199 --> 00:31:46,367 the hidden records of a lost civilization? 420 00:31:46,367 --> 00:31:50,199 Or could it be that if a so-called hall of records 421 00:31:50,199 --> 00:31:54,870 exists, it doesn't lie in Giza, 422 00:31:54,896 --> 00:31:59,436 but millions of miles away... on Mars? 423 00:32:04,138 --> 00:32:09,733 Pasadena, California. July 4, 1997. 424 00:32:10,734 --> 00:32:15,399 Aerospace engineers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory anxiously 425 00:32:15,399 --> 00:32:19,399 await a signal from the Pathfinder indicating that it 426 00:32:19,399 --> 00:32:23,399 has landed intact on the surface of Mars. 427 00:32:23,399 --> 00:32:29,399 Thousands of viewers watch live news feeds as the event unfolds. 428 00:32:34,399 --> 00:32:37,399 The spacecraft has landed. Base pedal down. 429 00:32:43,998 --> 00:32:45,998 Hours after its 430 00:32:45,999 --> 00:32:49,999 successful landing, Pathfinder sends the first images from the 431 00:32:49,999 --> 00:32:55,876 surface of Mars in over two decades. 432 00:32:55,876 --> 00:33:02,999 During its 12-week mission, Mars Pathfinder transmits 2.3 billion 433 00:33:02,999 --> 00:33:08,999 bits of information, including more than 17,000 images. 434 00:33:08,999 --> 00:33:14,501 Among these photos is an image that some say reveals formations 435 00:33:14,501 --> 00:33:23,501 that mirror the Giza Plateau... ...including what appears to be 436 00:33:23,501 --> 00:33:28,999 a sphinx. One of these 437 00:33:28,999 --> 00:33:33,876 photographs shows what looks like a sphinx that is facing to 438 00:33:33,876 --> 00:33:40,167 the east, uh, sunrise on Mars. There is a huge pyramid mountain 439 00:33:40,167 --> 00:33:46,999 behind it and you have to wonder if this Martian sphinx isn't 440 00:33:46,999 --> 00:33:51,999 created by extraterrestrials. Some have proposed 441 00:33:51,999 --> 00:33:58,167 that there is a mirror image of the Giza Plateau on Mars and 442 00:33:58,167 --> 00:34:01,999 therefore Mars might have been inhabited. 443 00:34:01,999 --> 00:34:05,999 And this is why we allegedly have structures on Mars that are 444 00:34:05,999 --> 00:34:11,999 of artificial origin. The idea of 445 00:34:11,999 --> 00:34:16,876 extraterrestrial life inhabiting Mars has long fascinated 446 00:34:16,876 --> 00:34:21,999 mankind. In 1895, astronomer Percival 447 00:34:21,999 --> 00:34:25,999 Lowell proposed an ancient civilization built canals on 448 00:34:25,999 --> 00:34:29,876 Mars to bring water from the poles to keep their society 449 00:34:29,876 --> 00:34:32,999 alive. And since the first landing on 450 00:34:32,999 --> 00:34:38,999 the surface of Mars in 1976, NASA Mars missions have focused 451 00:34:38,999 --> 00:34:42,999 almost exclusively on determining if life could exist 452 00:34:42,999 --> 00:34:45,999 on the red planet. We've found no 453 00:34:45,999 --> 00:34:51,999 real hard evidence of life. And yet there's this tantalizing 454 00:34:51,999 --> 00:34:55,999 possibility where we haven't given up. 455 00:34:55,999 --> 00:34:59,999 We would be looking for a subterranean civilization, 456 00:34:59,999 --> 00:35:02,999 because surface conditions are just so harsh. 457 00:35:02,999 --> 00:35:06,999 Conceivably, you could have whole complex ecosystems 458 00:35:06,999 --> 00:35:11,501 existing underground. I think that if we 459 00:35:11,501 --> 00:35:15,999 were to go to Mars and find civilization there, much of it 460 00:35:15,999 --> 00:35:18,999 would be underground. And you have to wonder if this 461 00:35:18,999 --> 00:35:23,999 Martian sphinx isn't guarding some underground world on Mars 462 00:35:23,999 --> 00:35:29,167 similar to the underground world at Giza that we know exists 463 00:35:29,167 --> 00:35:34,999 today. Do the formations 464 00:35:34,999 --> 00:35:39,999 on Mars provide evidence that the planet was once inhabited? 465 00:35:39,999 --> 00:35:44,999 And if so, does this sphinx on Mars also serve as a marker of 466 00:35:44,999 --> 00:35:49,999 an entrance to an underground world and perhaps the true 467 00:35:49,999 --> 00:35:54,999 location of a secret hall of records? 468 00:35:54,999 --> 00:35:58,999 According to some ancient astronaut theorists, if this 469 00:35:58,999 --> 00:36:02,999 sphinx in Giza truly has a counterpart on Mars, it would 470 00:36:02,999 --> 00:36:06,999 match up with what has been found in some of mankind's 471 00:36:06,999 --> 00:36:10,999 earliest writings. A famous 472 00:36:10,999 --> 00:36:13,876 linguist by the name of Zecharia Sitchin actually translated 473 00:36:13,876 --> 00:36:18,999 ancient Sumerian tablets that describe Mars being used as a 474 00:36:18,999 --> 00:36:22,999 way station by their gods, the Anunnaki. 475 00:36:22,999 --> 00:36:25,999 It's very possible that these ancient Sumerian tales talking 476 00:36:25,999 --> 00:36:29,999 about the Anunnaki traversing between Mars and Earth are 477 00:36:29,999 --> 00:36:33,999 actual fact and show a deeper connection of what we have in 478 00:36:33,999 --> 00:36:38,999 Giza and what we also have on Mars. 479 00:36:38,999 --> 00:36:43,876 Every scientist agrees today that Mars at some 480 00:36:43,876 --> 00:36:49,999 point in time in the past had an atmosphere not very unlike 481 00:36:49,999 --> 00:36:53,876 Earth's. And so if one were to propose 482 00:36:53,876 --> 00:37:00,501 the idea that at some point intelligent life inhabited Mars, 483 00:37:00,501 --> 00:37:05,999 what if one of the places that they escaped to was planet 484 00:37:05,999 --> 00:37:09,999 Earth? Is it possible that 485 00:37:09,999 --> 00:37:13,999 there is, in fact, a profound connection between Earth and 486 00:37:13,999 --> 00:37:17,999 Mars? And could locating a second 487 00:37:17,999 --> 00:37:21,501 sphinx be the key to unlocking the secrets about our ancient 488 00:37:21,501 --> 00:37:25,999 past? And if so, is it possible that 489 00:37:25,999 --> 00:37:33,035 there is yet another sphinx that holds the key, one that's even closer to home? 490 00:37:37,861 --> 00:37:44,799 Giza, 2014. 491 00:37:44,799 --> 00:37:48,799 Large-scale construction projects and high-rise 492 00:37:48,799 --> 00:37:51,800 development encroach ever closer to the Sphinx and the Great 493 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:56,800 Pyramids. Some believe that if the 494 00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:01,509 development continues unchecked, it will lead to the destruction 495 00:38:01,509 --> 00:38:04,799 of possible archaeological treasures still buried near the 496 00:38:04,799 --> 00:38:07,799 complex. But others feel that it may 497 00:38:07,799 --> 00:38:12,799 actually force the unearthing of something more profound, a twin 498 00:38:12,799 --> 00:38:16,799 sphinx. Everything in ancient 499 00:38:16,799 --> 00:38:19,799 Egyptian art is very symmetrical. 500 00:38:19,799 --> 00:38:22,799 There's always two of everything. 501 00:38:22,799 --> 00:38:26,799 When we see huge, big statues, there's always two colossal 502 00:38:26,799 --> 00:38:30,799 statues. There's always symmetry: two 503 00:38:30,799 --> 00:38:34,799 statues guarding one road. With the Sphinx, we've only 504 00:38:34,799 --> 00:38:36,799 found one. Some people believe there's 505 00:38:36,799 --> 00:38:40,799 another one. There are actually 506 00:38:40,799 --> 00:38:43,799 many reasons to believe it may have had a mate. 507 00:38:43,799 --> 00:38:47,799 When we look at the stele, the New Kingdom stele between the 508 00:38:47,799 --> 00:38:51,799 paws of the Sphinx, in fact it shows not one sphinx but two 509 00:38:51,799 --> 00:38:55,799 sphinxes. There were long 510 00:38:55,799 --> 00:39:00,799 periods of time where the Sphinx was not seen. 511 00:39:00,799 --> 00:39:03,800 It was completely covered in sand. 512 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:10,134 And so the idea would imply that maybe there are other structures 513 00:39:10,134 --> 00:39:13,799 that are still underneath the sand. 514 00:39:13,799 --> 00:39:18,509 Is it possible that a second sphinx exists on the Giza 515 00:39:18,509 --> 00:39:21,799 Plateau? Although most 516 00:39:21,799 --> 00:39:25,509 researchers are open to the idea of a second guardian on the Giza 517 00:39:25,509 --> 00:39:33,799 Plateau, multiple theories exist as to where this sphinx may be. 518 00:39:33,799 --> 00:39:37,800 According to the Amduat, the ancient Egyptian funerary text 519 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:42,509 describing the hourly journey of the king in the afterlife, there 520 00:39:42,509 --> 00:39:46,799 is said to exist a second sphinx that faces to the west. 521 00:39:46,799 --> 00:39:49,799 The fifth hour-- which seems to represent the 522 00:39:49,799 --> 00:39:54,799 Giza Necropolis, by the way-is protected by one sphinx in the 523 00:39:54,799 --> 00:39:58,134 east, which is the existing sphinx, but they also show 524 00:39:58,134 --> 00:40:00,799 another sphinx in the back. Now, physically was there 525 00:40:00,799 --> 00:40:03,800 another one? It's quite possible. 526 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,799 There is certain mounds that haven't been properly excavated 527 00:40:07,799 --> 00:40:11,134 on the west side, and there may be the remains of a sphinx. 528 00:40:11,134 --> 00:40:13,799 There certainly isn't a whole sphinx-we would've seen it by 529 00:40:13,799 --> 00:40:18,134 now-but there may be the foundations of a sphinx. 530 00:40:18,134 --> 00:40:21,799 The nonexistent sphinx is almost as interesting as the 531 00:40:21,799 --> 00:40:25,799 one we can look at. Does that location have any 532 00:40:25,799 --> 00:40:29,799 special energy to it? Is there some reason why life, 533 00:40:29,799 --> 00:40:33,799 fate, the gods would have it disappear? 534 00:40:33,799 --> 00:40:36,799 Could there really be a second sphinx located 535 00:40:36,799 --> 00:40:41,799 somewhere on the Giza Plateau? And if so, how has it remained 536 00:40:41,799 --> 00:40:47,509 undiscovered for thousands of years? 537 00:40:47,509 --> 00:40:50,800 We know less than 30% of what's actually underneath 538 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:56,509 the sand, especially around the Giza Plateau. 539 00:40:56,509 --> 00:41:00,799 So this is one of the exciting things about studying and 540 00:41:00,799 --> 00:41:04,799 researching ancient Egypt is this idea that maybe you'll be 541 00:41:04,799 --> 00:41:09,509 able to stumble into these ultimate secrets that the 542 00:41:09,509 --> 00:41:15,799 ancients assured us are there. Would locating a 543 00:41:15,799 --> 00:41:19,799 second sphinx bring us closer to actually solving the mystery of 544 00:41:19,799 --> 00:41:24,799 the Giza Plateau? And if so, what might the 545 00:41:24,799 --> 00:41:28,800 consequences be if this information is ever uncovered? 546 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:32,134 If we put all the pieces together, it suggests 547 00:41:32,134 --> 00:41:36,799 that the Sphinx is a repository for this knowledge about how to 548 00:41:36,799 --> 00:41:40,800 actually use the Great Pyramid. And once we do that, we're 549 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:45,799 talking about the ability to resurrect ourselves as celestial 550 00:41:45,799 --> 00:41:49,134 beings, or star beings, and join the extraterrestrials who had a 551 00:41:49,134 --> 00:41:53,799 hand in building this incredible complex. 552 00:41:53,799 --> 00:41:58,799 I very much believe that the whole thing is a kind 553 00:41:58,799 --> 00:42:01,799 of cipher. And I'll-I'll go to my grave on 554 00:42:01,799 --> 00:42:04,800 this one. I've worked for 25 years to 555 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:09,799 decipher this cipher using astronomy, using the texts. 556 00:42:09,799 --> 00:42:17,799 And it reads, "I have under me the knowledge of our genesis." 557 00:42:17,799 --> 00:42:21,799 Whatever it is we figure out, whatever we discover 558 00:42:21,799 --> 00:42:24,799 when we get there, it's not gonna look like we thought it 559 00:42:24,799 --> 00:42:28,799 would look. Is the Sphinx the 560 00:42:28,799 --> 00:42:31,799 ultimate proof that extraterrestrials were here on 561 00:42:31,799 --> 00:42:37,134 Earth in the ancient past? And if so, might there be clues 562 00:42:37,134 --> 00:42:41,799 hidden within this monolithic statue that not only reveal the 563 00:42:41,799 --> 00:42:48,799 truth about our history but why we are here and how we can 564 00:42:48,799 --> 00:42:53,799 finally reconnect with our alien ancestors? 565 00:42:53,799 --> 00:42:57,799 Captioning sponsored by A&E TELEVISION NETWORKS 566 00:42:57,849 --> 00:43:02,399 Repair and Synchronization by Easy Subtitles Synchronizer 1.0.0.0 51130
