The video explores the hypothesis that there may have been a second Sphinx on the Giza Plateau, centering around the limestone rock formation near the Great Sphinx, adjacent to the tomb of King Kawai. Initially dismissed, Dr. Rader Abdul Halim's claim that this eroded formation bears similarities to the Great Sphinx is reconsidered. Both structures are on the west bank of the River Nile, with the Great Sphinx near significant monuments like the Khafre Pyramid. The discussion includes potential evidence such as the dream stele, which depicts two sphinxes, suggesting the possibility of another sphinx facing the opposite direction. Dr. Halim's findings of entrances and ancient doorways in the second Sphinx point to unexcavated areas within the formation. The video delves into the impact of rain and wind erosion on these structures, dating them to at least seven to ten thousand years old and suggesting the second Sphinx might have similar weathering patterns. However, there is some skepticism about it being a true Sphinx, proposing it could be remnants of an unfinished project. The need for further investigation using ground-penetrating radar and excavation to uncover more about ancient Egyptian history is emphasized, concluding with a call for viewer engagement.

In this part of the video, the speaker revisits the hypothesis that there may have been a second Sphinx on the Giza Plateau, based on ideas presented by Dr. Rader Abdul Halim. The speaker had previously dismissed this hypothesis but decided to reconsider it. Dr. Halim’s claim is centered around a limestone rock formation near the Great Sphinx, adjacent to the tomb of King Kawai, which is partially visible and heavily eroded. The speaker notes the similarities between this formation and the Great Sphinx, though not entirely convinced. The discussion includes the idea that the Great Sphinx might have been coated in plaster and painted, which historical accounts support. The limestone rock formation, referred to as the second Sphinx for clarity in the video, is examined further, with the speaker planning to give a personal opinion on its validity later. Both sphinxes are located on the west bank of the River Nile, with the Great Sphinx near key monuments like the Khafre Pyramid causeway, valley temple, and Sphinx temple.

In this part of the video, the discussion centers around the proximity of the Sphinx to a significant structure known as the tomb of King Kawai. The speaker questions the traditional belief that the structure was a queenship pyramidal and explores the existence of a “second Sphinx,” comparing its dimensions and characteristics with the Great Sphinx. Both sphinxes have undergone substantial erosion and are carved from single blocks of limestone, though some believe the second Sphinx may simply be the remnants of a limestone quarry. The dream stele, which depicts two sphinxes, suggests there might have been another sphinx, potentially facing west rather than east like the Great Sphinx. Dr. Raider, after discovering multiple entrances and ancient doorways within the second Sphinx, suggests that it contains ancient, unexcavated pits, corridors, long rooms, and wells. The tomb of King Kawai was intentionally separated from the bedrock of the second Sphinx, with evidence of construction by humans, supported by rainwater erosion dating it to a pre-dynastic era.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the implications of rain and wind erosion on the Sphinx enclosure, the Khafre Pyramid wall, and the tomb of Kandkaway, suggesting these structures are at least seven to ten thousand years old. They explore the idea of a second Sphinx formation showing similar weathering patterns but express skepticism about it being a Sphinx, proposing it might be an unfinished construction project. The speaker highlights the potential significance of unexcavated internal chambers within the rock formation and emphasizes the need for further investigation using ground-penetrating radar and excavation, arguing that this could provide more insights into ancient Egyptian history.
