AI – ‘While there is no proven second Great Sphinx at Giza, the idea that one once existed or remains buried is a long-standing theory in Egyptology that has recently gained new attention.
Current evidence and theories regarding a second Sphinx include:
- Recent Radar Scans (2026): Italian researcher Filippo Biondi and his team recently claimed that satellite radar scans of the Giza Plateau show a “massive structure” buried under a 108-foot-high mound of hardened sand. They believe this structure is a mirrored twin of the Great Sphinx, aligned geometrically with the pyramids.
- The Dream Stele: A stone slab located between the paws of the Great Sphinx depicts two sphinxes side by side. Some researchers argue this isn’t just symbolic art but a literal record of two monuments that guarded the plateau.
- Historical Symmetry: Ancient Egyptian art and architecture often utilised dualism and symmetry. Sphinxes were frequently built in pairs to guard entrances, representing the rising and setting sun.
- Scientific Skepticism: Most mainstream archaeologists, including former Egyptian Minister of Antiquities Zahi Hawass, have dismissed these claims. They argue the area has been extensively excavated for decades without finding a second statue and that current radar data may simply show natural rock formations or small voids.
- Other Discoveries: While not a “second Great Sphinx,” other sphinxes exist in Egypt, such as the Alabaster Sphinx of Memphis and two recently discovered large sphinxes at a funerary temple in Luxor.’
