Not many people know that there was once an ancient temple, shrine or santuary between the paws of The Great Sphinx of Giza in Egypt. It was excavated in the 19th century and it contained a number of artefacts that have been lost to time, and very little is known about them today. These include smaller lion statues, two more stele of Ramesses II, which sat adjacent to the Dream Stele, the beard of the Sphinx, a horned altar, and much more. There was also a grand staircase and more infrastructure built by the Greeks and the Romans. It is thanks to Giovanni Caviglia's excavations and the writings of Henry Salt that we know what was discovered in the 19th century, and you can reads Salt's words in Howard Vyse's book 'Operations Carried on at the Pyramids of Giza in 1837' Volume III, linked below. In this video I will reveal all of the lost relics of the Great Sphinx and I will be trying my best to now locate them in the museums around the world.
