Robert Bauval: The Unsolved Mystery Of The Great Sphinx Of Giza
Who conceived this amazing monument? When? How? Why? Is it just the ‘guardian of the Giza Pyramids’ or something else? What else? Why the lion-man symbolism? Why is it gazing towards cardinal east? Did it have a name? Is it connected to the Pyramids? What is the meaning of the megalithic temples next to it? Is there a secret chamber underneath the Sphinx as many have claimed? Bestselling author and engineer RobertBauval will discuss all these issues in a fully illustrated lecture.
