Researcher Trevor Graci of the Archaeological Rescue Foundation documented what some called a "second sphinx" in Giza's southern cemetery. When examined from all angles, it's actually just an eroded limestone bedrock outcropping. The structure does contain multiple tombs carved into it, and aerial satellite imagery confirms there's no hidden sphinx body—only bedrock. It only appears sphinx-like from one specific viewing angle.
