The Claim
A sealed repository of ancient knowledge — the 'Hall of Records' — lies beneath the Sphinx or Giza plateau.
The Evidence
The claim originates with Edgar Cayce's psychic readings in the 1930s. Ground-penetrating radar surveys have detected anomalies under the Sphinx.
Mainstream View
No archaeological evidence of a hidden chamber or repository has been found. Radar anomalies have not yielded artefacts on investigation.
Criticism
The claim relies on psychic channelling rather than excavation. No physical evidence has been produced.
What remains unknown
Subsurface anomalies exist but have not been confirmed as chambers.
