Researcher Claims Radar Evidence of Second Giza Sphinx
Italian researcher Filippo Biondi has announced what he describes as evidence of a second sphinx buried beneath a sand mound on Egypt's Giza Plateau, potentially mirroring the Great Sphinx that guards the pyramids. The claim, presented on a recent podcast, draws on ancient inscriptions and modern radar scans, suggesting an underground structure that could reshape understanding of the site's ancient layout.
Biondi, a radar engineer formerly affiliated with the University of Strathclyde, stated that his team used satellite-based technology to detect ground vibrations and map subsurface features. The scans, he said, reveal vertical shafts and horizontal passages under a mound approximately 108 feet high, composed of solidified sand rather than bedrock. These features, according to Biondi, closely resemble known tunnels and chambers beneath the existing Great Sphinx, which measures about 240 feet long and stands 66 feet tall.
The researchers' hypothesis hinges on geometric alignments across the Giza Plateau, home to the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. Biondi explained that lines drawn from the pyramids to the Great Sphinx extend to a symmetrical point opposite the...
