by admin on Oct.19, 2009, under Archaeology
Quote from the Daily Grail:
“A new video on YouTube features Dr Zahi Hawass and Dr Mark Lehner discussing the recent drilling under the Great Sphinx at Giza on-site during the project. The testing was ostensibly done to establish whether the monument is at risk from the rising water table, though much of this video seems aimed at debunking the ‘New Age’ claims that there is a secret chamber beneath the Sphinx’s paw.”
