Mark Lerner's research shows the Great Sphinx and Pyramid of Khafre forming the akhet ("horizon") image at the summer-solstice sunset. The video argues that Andrew Collins's Giza grid, measured in 10.5-foot "reads," would place a proposed second Sphinx about 378 reads from the original along the 296°/116° solstice axis, with a proposed date of around 6,500 BC.

Key facts
- Mark Lerner's research shows the Great Sphinx and Pyramid of Khafre form the akhet ("horizon") image at the summer-solstice sunset.
- The video uses the Sphinx's roughly 296°/116° axis to link the summer-solstice sunset with the opposite winter-solstice sunrise.
- The video argues that a proposed second Sphinx lies about 378 of Andrew Collins's 10.5-foot grid "reads" from the Great Sphinx and dates it to around 6,500 BC.
- The second Sphinx, its date and its 378-read separation are proposed, not established archaeological findings.
