A lost, 2nd Great Sphinx? Just one of the dangerous secrets in The Anubis Intervention

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?

It's just one of the revelations in the archaeological thriller, fourth in the series after The Smiting Texts, The Hathor Holocaust and The Ibis Apocalypse (Kindle and paperback from Amazon)
