Several years ago The Fox TV Network had a live show from the pyramids that exposed several new underground chambers underneath the Sphinx. As I recall in their explanation of the findings they focused on a large sarcophogus flanked by several statues of Annubis. They also pointed out several tunnels(now filled with debris) that radiated out under the Plateau. What struck me was the engineering necesary to hewn these chambers out of bedrock and to a depth of 2 to 4 stories. It also appeared that the walls were pretty well fininshed and square. I had to ask the question 'how'? Also what of the tunnels and 'why'? There has been no follow up reports to my knowledge but I think there is much more to find in the Plateau complex than we can ever imagine and most of it might be underground.

To me the Sphinx, along with the Great Pyramid of Giza represents a single message. It is a message in stone that is concerned with the inner development of the human brain/ mind complex.
At the dawn of civilization our inner nature was changing with the emergence of a new and more dominant layer of mind. The emergence of this new layer represented an addition to the already present layer of instinctual mind. We still had our instincts but we were now self conscious.
Further we could plan, create and thus dominate the lower species that did not have this facility. We could now both create and destroy with more power than any species on the planet. We had thus become the most capable of development and the most dangerous. We had a new and dominant voice in our heads coupled with our old and instinctual (survival of the fittest) mind.
Personal Speculation on the Meaning and Purpose of the Sphinx
If the Sphinx had been fashioned with a Human Body and a Lion Head it would have carried a message of one of the weakest and most vulnerable animals on the planet. It would have had a body that lacked the physical strength that its mind required for success in the environment. Instead it seems to represent a new hybrid species that has the greatest mind and the most powerful body. It can both think and execute at new levels of performance.
- On a recent trip to Egypt our guide related to us the logic behind the great monuments of Abu Simbel. They were made, he told us, on a large scale to scare anyone encountering them on the border of Egypt and Nubia. The Sphinx I believe was also meant to scare anyone encountering it or groups of it as exist in Luxor along the Avenue of the Sphinx. The message seems to be, ‘beware as we are thinking men with the power of lions'.
