Drilling under the sphinx
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.”

Uncovering a masterpiece the Mayans left behind
by admin on Oct.19, 2009, under Archaeology
Quote from CNN:
“The archeologists excavating there say they have evidence now showing Mirador, this remote site almost no one has ever heard of, is home to the largest pyramid in the world by volume, the first freeway system in the world and a newly unearthed piece artwork, the size of a football field, that could rewrite the historical timeline of the Mayan civilization.”
