This episode delves into the enduring mystery of the Great Sphinx of Giza, the monumental half-lion, half-human statue that has watched over Egypt's desert for more than four millennia. Carved from a single ridge of limestone, it is traditionally attributed to Pharaoh Khafre around 2500 BCE—but its true age and purpose remain uncertain.

Scholars have long debated the origins of the Sphinx. Some, like geologist Robert Schoch, argue that erosion marks suggest the statue could be thousands of years older, dating back to an age of heavy rainfall long before recorded Egyptian civilization. Others see it as part of a symbolic complex built to align with the stars and the sun, marking celestial events such as the spring equinox or the Age of Leo.

Beneath its enormous paws, ground-penetrating scans have revealed cavities that fuel legends of hidden chambers—perhaps the fabled "Hall of Records," said to hold the lost wisdom of ancient civilizations. Official excavations have never confirmed these theories, leaving speculation alive.

The Sphinx remains both an architectural wonder and an unsolved riddle: a monument that may conceal truths about humanity's forgotten past. Gazing eternally toward the rising sun, it embodies the mystery of time itself—silent, unyielding, and unforgotten.
