SPHINX STILL GUARDING FINAL SECRET, SOME SAY
New York Times News Service

Does a secret chamber holding records of an advanced civilization lie beneath the Sphinx?

By the first of the year, the Great Sphinx of Giza is to reemerge in unfettered glory, stripped of scaffolding for the first time in a decade upon the completion of the most extensive repair work undertaken since it was unburied from the sands by French explorers a century ago.

The Sphinx has undergone countless such repairs, and yet it remains a source of boundless fascination – part lion, part God, part Pharaoh; so old that it was ancient even to the ancient Greeks; sentry for millenniums to the Great Pyramids on the plateau above.

Might there be something else the sculptured beast is guarding? That question has been asked for as long as the Sphinx has reigned, and now, just as workers are applying the finishing touches to a new protective limestone coat, it is a question visitors to this site on the outskirts of Cairo are asking with urgency.

In Greek, Roman and ancient Arab texts, there is much speculation that something may indeed lie beneath the Sphinx.
