What secret would a second Great Sphinx hide? |
Early books speak of two great sphinxes like a pair of colossal bookends guarding the entrance to the Nile.
And in fact there did exist a second sphinx, according to Arab historians, a clay structure destroyed by earthquake and flood.
But was this second, earthen sphinx on the Nile a poor relation of a sublime counterpart, an echo of another great structure from a distant age?
Controversial archaeologist Anson Hunter theorizes exactly this in 'The Anubis Intervention' and fears that this second sphinx guards a dangerous secret.
But where is this lost chimera hidden?
