” Hall of Records “

Modern – day phychics , occult societies and new age mystics all believe firmly in the existence at Giza of an underworld labyrinth of concealed corridors and hidden chambers , which they see as having been constracted by survivors of the lost continent of Atlantis , or even an aliens …

Such ideas , although highly fascinating , are , as we have seen , not enitrely new . As early as Roman times , legends abounded in Egypt concerning the existence in the vicinity of the Giza pyramids of ” subterranean fissures and winding passages called syringes ” , build so that they might preserve ” the memory ” of ancient rites ” which it was feared would be destroyed in a coming ” deluge ” .

Similar traditions were also preserved by the coptic Church , and recorded in writing by later Arab historians …

In 1993 these wild ideas suddenly became more than simply the delusions of the new – age community . Not only was a previously unknown chamber found at the end ofthe southern shaft of the Queen´s Chamber incide the Great Pyramid by a tiny high – tech robot , but another , even more enigmatic discovery was made public for the frst time .

During the autumn of that year , it was announced that seismic soundings of the hard bedrock beneah the Shpinxenclosure had revealed the presence , some five metres down , of a large rectangulatr room some nine metres by twelve metres in size .

Dr Thomas L. Dobecki , the geophysicist and consultant in charge of the operations , which were conducted in 1991 , was cautiously optimistic about the discovery , admitting that : ” The regular , rectangular shape of this ( chamber ) is inconsistent with naturally occurring cavaties , so there is some suggestion that it could be man – made . “

Mystics,phychics and new – agers alive believe that a series of concealed chambers awaits discovery beneath the Giza platean .

In 1996 a team of geophysicists , working under the direction of the University of Florida  began a new round of seismic testing in the Sphinx enclosure .The official reason given for the exploration by Dr Zawi Hawass of the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Egypt was to examine he limestone bedrock in order to pinpoint faults and cavities that might present a potential hazard to visitors if they were to collapse .

It was , however , clear to anyone with any kinowledge of the subject that the real purpose of this work was to confirm Dobecki´ findings and to see whether an entrance could be found into the ” Hall Of Records ” , which the Egyptian presidential family and the Egyptian authotities firmly believe to exist .

Before they too were ordered to cease their exploration of the Sphinx enclosure in late 1996 , for alleged irregularities in their methods of surveying , team was able to detect the presence of no fewer that nine further tunnels or chambers located beneath the bedrock .

Geophysical sensing equipment also produced reading that strongly suggested the presence in all of them of metal .

What might these teams have actually found ?

Have they detected naturel cavities caused by underground water erosion , or were they man – made structures created either by the Pharaonic Egyotians or by the Sphinx – building Elder culture ?

Until further exploration is permitted by the Egyptian government we must all wait with bated breath for the answer

What seemed more important  , to ascertain exactly what might be contained inside these chambers . Were they in any way linked with Giza´s lost underworld domain , and , if so , who constructed them , and why ?
