About this episode

The episode explores the claim of a second Sphinx on the Giza Plateau and the evidence supporting it.

This mini ee dive headfirst into the Daily Mail’s latest desert fever dream: the claim that a second Sphinx is hiding under a big ol’ mound of “hardened sand” on the Giza Plateau. According to an Italian researcher who revealed it on—of course—a podcast, satellite scans, geometric alignments, and a whole lot of confidence (somewhere between 80% and 100%, depending on the sentence) point to a buried twin complete with mirrored shafts and chambers. We sift through the myth, the math, the accents, and the archaeological side‑eye to ask the real question: did the ancient Egyptians leave us a cosmic hint, or is this just another case of fringe hope meeting convenient topography? Either way, we’re here for the ride, together, as always. Source: https://www.dailymail.com/sciencetech/article-15681329/second-sphinx-egypt-giza-plateau.html?amp%3Bns_campaign=1490&%3Bito=1490
