The 5,000-Year-Old Ancient Sunken Underwater City In Greece Is Considered The Oldest Sunken Lost City In The World
The Egyptian Sphinx in Giza could be the entrance to an underground “secret city”, according to the latest research by historians.
Malcolm Hutton and Gerry Cannon believe that the Sphinx that sits on the sands of the Giza plateau, in front of the Great Pyramids, could be the gateway to a labyrinth of tunnels and passages and an entire “underground metropolis” that has been lost to the world due to a cover-up by the Egyptian authorities.
The historians explain in their upcoming book “The Secrets of the Giza Plateau and a Second Sphinx Revealed” that news about this lost city first made headlines due to a March 1935 Sunday Express article about the excavations that They were taking place in an underground city that at the time was said to date back 4,000 years.
The couple claims that after that report nothing more was known about this city.
“It was as if all living Egyptologists had lost interest in this wonderful underground metropolis, as all their articles over the next few years focused more on tombs of queens and shafts that had been sunk deep into the ground for funerary tombs.”
Historians believe that a hole in the top of the Sphinx’s head could be an entrance to this lost city, along with other openings in the structure.
However, they claim to have encountered a “wall of pink granite blocks” from the Egyptian authorities.
“There are things down there, tunnels. Many people have written about it but try to cover it all up.
“No one knows what is down there, no one has been able to investigate.
“They’re afraid that if they find things down there, all their books and all their history will fly out the window.
“They started investigating it but then they stopped doing it. They must have known there are things there, but they are worried.
“Once their entire story is proven wrong, all the books they have written will be scrapped. If they have found things, they do not dare to show them.
“There are entries, there are photographs that prove it. There is a hole at the top of the Sphinx, in its head.
“Why should I be there? She descends 8 to 10 feet and then enters hallways.
“They have never taken cameras there, or they have made them and they don’t want to show them.”
To further complicate the mystery surrounding the origin of the pyramids and the Sphinx, the authors claim that the head of the Sphinx has changed since it was first built and that while the body is made of limestone, the head It is carved from an artificial material. substance.
“It’s obvious from the totally different construction material and color of the Sphinx’s head, which we believe is not rock, but some kind of man-made substance compared to its limestone and eroded body.
“The head and face of the Sphinx must have changed from their original shape long after the monument was first carved. There is hardly any damage or erosion on his head compared to his body.”
However, Egyptian authorities say it is not possible to investigate the claims because they claim the chambers are blocked or filled with water.
Former Minister of State for Antiquities Zahi Hawass had previously said that there was nothing under the Sphinx.
