00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,200
Hello everybody and welcome to Ancient Architects.

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:08,160
Did you know that there is a hole in the top of the Great Sphinx's head?

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:13,360
I'd heard of the rumors in the past, but recently, Jimmy on the Bright Insight channel

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:20,960
brought to light this fantastic photograph, which shows not just a hole, but the metal hatch that covers it.

5
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:29,640
Not many people know this exists and there isn't a great deal written about it, and certainly the Egyptian authorities don't like to draw attention to it.

6
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:34,440
Many speculate that there was a chamber inside the Sphinx, radar surveys of certain

7
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:40,600
inshonenomalies that are looted this, so could the hatch on the head be the entrance to an internal chamber?

8
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,280
It's an exciting thought isn't it, but is it true?

9
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:49,960
After posting the picture on Twitter, a number of followers came back to tell me what they could find regarding this.

10
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:58,360
In the 1740s, Charles Thompson wrote this, we could not get the top of the head, but those that have done it report that there is a round hole.

11
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:06,280
I would say a foreground person may descend into it, from once it is supposed the artful priest delivered their articles.

12
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:12,120
So, it isn't the first hand account, but it certainly proves it existed hundreds of years ago.

13
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:17,880
And look at this 18th century sketch showing French explorers, there's a huge ladder up the top of the head,

14
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,840
and a man being helped out of a hole.

15
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:27,000
Another source says that in the 1920s, engineer Emil Beraser cemented the hole in the top of the head,

16
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,320
most likely an attempt to save it from crumbling, or at least that's what we told.

17
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,440
The excavation team stated it was five feet square and nearly six feet deep.

18
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,720
He then fitted an eye in trapdoor to the mouth of the hole.

19
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,760
What we don't know is if this cavity was fully excavated before cement was poured in,

20
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:48,920
if it ran any deeper than six feet, and what its purpose could have been.

21
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,160
Maybe the cement was poured into stock people into in the swings,

22
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,320
just very possible as Beraser was working with your authority during the excavation.

23
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,840
Some theorize that the hole was simply to have fixed a headdress in the swings,

24
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:08,680
so that it looked like this. But what a five foot by six foot peg, being enough to support

25
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:14,200
such a colossal chunk of stone? I don't know, but a dream stellar in front of the swings,

26
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,360
thoughts of the work of took most of the fourth, certainly doesn't show the swings with any

27
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:23,880
additional headdress. There is also this artistic rendering of the swings and this internal structure.

28
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:30,200
It's taken from Charles Russell's photo-drama recreation, which was released in 1914,

29
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,160
and it seems to have gotten his information from an image titled, Remarkable Discourer

30
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:41,320
is Within the Sphinx, the temple within its hollow head by Professor George A. Ryzener.

31
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,880
It is a diagrammatic view of hidden chambers and a stairway inside the swings.

32
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,640
George was an American archaeologist of Egypt, and today I was lucky enough to find this

33
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:57,480
absolutely astounding article from the Australian newspaper, Northern Territory Times and Gazette,

34
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:04,360
from Thursday March 5, 1914, which confirms Ryzen's discoveries and confirms our suspicions.

35
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:10,840
It's just a small article titled, The Secret of the Sphinx, but it states, and I quote,

36
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:16,920
Professor G. A. Ryzener of Harvard University, has been making a scientific examination

37
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:22,120
of that mysterious Egyptian monument known as the Sphinx, has made several notable discoveries,

38
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:28,200
which it is hoped will contribute materially towards the elucidation of a problem that has

39
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:33,320
puzzled the ages. Inside the Sphinx, he found a temple dedicated to the sun.

40
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:40,280
It is older than any of the pyramids, and its date is somewhere about 6,000 BC,

41
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:46,920
the most ancient Egyptian history. Mena, or men-ed, as his name is sometimes spelled,

42
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,560
was the first king of Egypt, of whom modern scientists have discovered historic record.

43
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,240
The tomb of Mena, the king who made himself a god, and who fashioned the Sphinx,

44
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:03,800
is also within it. There are tunnels leading into the caverns, which have not yet been penetrated,

45
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:10,040
for the work has only been going for some six months. The Sphinx is carved at a natural rock,

46
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:15,880
but within our caves and buildings of a city of gold, which is perhaps once opened to the air.

47
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:23,400
At present, the excavations are confined to a chamber in the head. This chamber is 60 feet long

48
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:29,960
on 14 feet wide. It is connected by tunnels and the temple of the sun, which rests within the

49
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:37,640
pores of the Sphinx. Such relics, as a symbol of the sun, are found by the hundreds, several of these

50
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:44,680
are gold, and some have wires for tiny bells, which, when sounded by the priest, some end up ghosts.

51
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,920
Inside the Sphinx are also tiny pyramids, although the Sphinx was built along before the great

52
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:58,360
pyramid. The article ends by saying, according to Professor Eisner, Egypt is one vast city,

53
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:03,800
the edge of reach only has been scratched, and the interior of which probably never will be disclosed.

54
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:10,520
Well, this is astounding. This is a first hand account to chambers inside the Sphinx,

55
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:18,040
reported in a reputable newspaper. The first dynasty ruler, Menes, obviously didn't rule in

56
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:24,760
6000 BC, but his burial inside the Sphinx would certainly make sense if the monument predated his reign.

57
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:30,600
Is therefore likely that he is the one who recalf the head of the Sphinx into his likeness.

58
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,920
Can you see any similarities here?

59
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:39,400
To disregard this information, is to discredit a Harvard University professor of archaeology.

60
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,600
It's a surely proof of chambers within the Sphinx, and proof that the hole in the head

61
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,880
isn't in fact the entrance to the most ancient temple in Egypt.

62
00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:53,480
Many believe that the Egyptian Hall of Records is either within or underneath the Sphinx.

63
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:59,240
And if there are in fact golden artifacts, concreting the hole, and then sealing it with a trap door

64
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:04,920
makes total sense. You want to stop people from going inside. It does seem an odd thing to do

65
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:10,200
to go to so much effort to seal up a hole if it is simply nothing but a six foot deep hole.

66
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:16,680
I don't know, you tell me. Some people are convinced that something was placed into the hole,

67
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,600
so that more precise pyramid Sphinx' alignment could be made with the sunrise,

68
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:26,280
probably on the solstice. But again, it is just a conjecture. Some people say it was just a natural

69
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:32,360
but I believe it's just a different information to cover up the truth that is being hidden from humanity.

70
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,480
We have a right to know about our history, and we should all try and delve deeper to find the truth.

71
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,720
