An Italian researcher has identified the location of a second sphinx, with clues suggesting that an ancient civilization possessed engineering capabilities far exceeding what is currently known.
Filippo Biondi, the researcher, asserts that he has found evidence pointing to a second sphinx parallel to the one at Giza. “There is a great chance that there was, or is, another sphinx parallel to the one which exists today,” Biondi stated.
Biondi presented his findings on Thursday’s episode of the “Matt Beall Podcast.” He referenced the Dream Stele—a 1401 B.C. inscribed slab between the paws of the Great Sphinx of Giza that explicitly depicts two sphinxes. By studying the area in front of the Great Pyramid of Khufu (analogous to where the Great Sphinx guards the Pyramid of Khafre), Biondi and his team believe they have located a potential site for a second sphinx. They claim that beneath an 180-foot mound of sand lies “something very huge,” including what they describe as an underground megastructure with shafts serving as an entrance.
Measurements taken by the team show precise geometrical correlations between the proposed location and existing structures. For example, the distance from the alleged megastructure to the second pyramid matches the distance between the Great Sphinx and the first pyramid. “We are finding precise geometrical correlation, 100% of correlation, in this symmetry,” Biondi explained.
Biondi expressed a confidence level of about 80% in his findings. He noted that while the second sphinx may be in poor condition due to air pollution and underground water erosion, it remains “buried under the sand.” Egyptologist Bassam el-Shammaa previously proposed similar theories dating back to at least 1999.
Biondi emphasized that further work is needed to measure elevations between the existing sphinx and the theoretical one. His team conducted scans of the area, revealing what they believe to be a network of shafts and chambers beneath the structure—mirroring those of the Great Sphinx. Biondi stated that “what is commonly believed to be a mountain” is actually solidified sand and sediment.
“In our personal opinion,” he added, “it’s very simple to remove all that sand, and probably inside there is the second sphinx.”
