Paraglider spots a dog at the top of Egypt’s Great Pyramid of Giza

Italian researchers claim they might’ve found signs of a Sphinx located beneath the Pyramids of Giza, suggesting the existence of a sprawling subterranean citadel. Radar engineer Filippo Biondi dropped this alleged historical bombshell during a recent episode of the “Matt Beall Limitless” podcast,He said, “There is something very huge that we are measuring” beneath the Giza Plateau, which features the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, the Pyramid of Menkaure and the Great Sphinx.

He and his team said they were tipped off to the alleged underground guardian by explaining that lines between the pyramids to the known Sphinx also point to a parallel mound under which the second feline facsimile supposedly resides — like a cryptic puzzle from an “Indiana Jones” movie.Cocaine-fueled sharks are on the prowl in the Caribbean — scientists blame partying tourists Black flies plague SoCal community — painful bites around eyes and neck reported for humans and animals Satellite images of the Giza Plateau have reportedly captured this dune, which the signal processing researcher claims measures approximately 108 feet tall. “The first Sphinx sits slightly below the surrounding surface, in a shallow depression, so it is possible the second Sphinx could be hidden beneath this higher mound,” he said.He noted that this mound was made of hardened sand that would facilitate its existence, rather than an impenetrable bedrock as well. Biondi said the “precise geometrical correlation” between the visible structures and this mysterious dune has made him about 80 percent confident his theory. The researcher also referenced the fact that the Dream Stele — a granite slab sitting in front of Sphinx number one — is carved with a pair of the mythical cats, suggesting that there were always supposed to be a second sculpture. His theory implies that there was an actual function to the propagandistic symbol, which was constructed by Pharaoh Thutmose IV around 1401 BC — when the civilization was at its zenith —The hieroglyphics reportedly describe how the Sphinx was a deity that appeared to a young Prince Thutmose IV as he slept in its shade, promising him the Egyptian throne in exchange for clearing off the sand that had entombed it. To get to the bottom of the matter, team scanned the ground beneath the “first Sphinx, all the pyramids, the conjunction between the Sphinx and the Khafre pyramid” — the second largest on the Giza plateau.” He claimed they found “vertical shafts, horizontal passages” that pointed to an “underground megastructure.” The lowest shaft had tunnels that branched outward, per the researcher.Coincidentally, Biondi is not the only researcher to claim the existence of a second Sphinx. Egyptologist Bassam El Shammaa first raised the theory more than a decade ago, citing ancient Egyptian records and mythology that describe a lightning bolt striking the Sphinx. He postulated that this image could allude to a second monument that was destroyed after being cursed by a powerful Egyptian god.only found a second Sphinx, but that it measured 246-feet high, with a head 67-feet high, and hands extended over 50.8 feet, similar to its visible counterpart. Egypt’s former Minister of Antiquities Zahi Hawass has thrown cold water on such theories, arguing that extensive excavations of the area have yielded nothing.“We are still analyzing the data,” said the engineer, who is currently awaiting permission from Egyptian authorities to dissect the mound.End to airport misery in sight as Senate approves deal to end DHS shutdown — without Dem immigration demands‘Laguna Beach’ cast reunites 20 years later on red carpet for new new specialPius Lee - stock.adobe.comStream It Or Skip It: 'Jo Nesbø's Detective Hole' On Netflix, Where A Troubled Detective Tracks Down A Serial Killer Who Is Terrorizing Oslo
