Ground penetrating radar found chambers beneath Sphinx. Dr. Tom Dbecki documented a 30x40 ft rectangular anomaly about 35 ft below the surface under the Sphinx's paws in 1991 This was confirmed using seismic technology during John Anthony West's expedition Ground penetrating radar in 1996 confirmed the rectangular anomaly under the paws

In 1991, Dr. Thomas Dobecki documented a rectangular anomaly beneath the Sphinx using seismic technology during John Anthony West's expedition. Ground penetrating radar studies detected anomalies in the vicinity. Seismic data indicated possible voids in the bedrock beneath the Sphinx, with anomalous zones requiring further investigation.

Key Facts

  • Dr. Tom Dbecki documented a 30x40 ft rectangular anomaly about 35 ft below the surface under the Sphinx's paws in 1991
  • This was confirmed using seismic technology during John Anthony West's expedition
  • Ground penetrating radar in 1996 confirmed the rectangular anomaly under the paws
  • Both seismic and GPR technologies confirmed chambers exist beneath the Sphinx
  • Dr. Dbecki also found tunnels and passages leading off toward the pyramids
  • Zahi Hawass and Mark Lehner rejected these findings as natural cracks and fissures
