S09E02 Mysteries of the Sphinx
Episode Overview
The Great Sphinx of Giza stands as the largest single stone sculpture in the world, yet its origins remain shrouded in mystery. This ancient monument predates known civilizations and may conceal truths about humanity's beginnings. While conventional archaeology dates its construction to around 2500 BC, geological findings imply it could be far older. Who, then, is responsible for its creation? Some researchers suggest that there might be a hidden twin Sphinx somewhere on the Giza Plateau. Additionally, although the Sphinx's face is thought to depict Pharaoh Khafra, its dimensions hint at possible modifications. Could it have originally symbolized an extraterrestrial entity that visited Earth over 10,000 years ago, as suggested by Ancient Astronaut theorists?
