Barba's now what now look I found all this sand you want some what if I say yes will you make it look normal anything for you my butter part friend doesn't exactly look like who Roberto was talking about but who are you supposed to look like anyway who me what my mom says I get my ears from my grandpappy he was a house cat living an old mrs. sip but I think I get my paws from no no not your paws your face who are you supposed to even be yeah well many experts believe that I am the face of king Khafre an Egyptian ruler yet others believe I resemble the face of King Joffrey's father King Khufu but my paws look like my aunt's cat and we're not interested in your paws he is right though there is some debate as to whose faces on the Sphinx that all relates to the question of who built it though is still a mystery experts believe that Khafre is the one responsible for building the Great Sphinx it is said that he had the statue built to guard over the pyramid tombs of Giza hey Mike Mike Mike guess what day it is it's get away from a pyramid Dave scoop get it although this is the leading theory there are some who believe that the Sphinx came even before Khafre his dad Khufu these people think that due to the type of erosion found at the head of the Sphinx that it must be over 11,000 years old so who knows who built it and why well then how long did it take to build you according to some experts they think it would have taken 100 men about three years to build me but remember it's thought that I was called from a single block of limestone which means that the man who built me likely only used hammers and copper chisels any chance you got one of those hammers handy no why oh I've seen every mummy movie ever Mummy Mummy Returns don't tell mummy the babysitter's dead I'll guarantee you've got one of them inside you well you're wrong Wow there's nothing inside of me there are those that believe there's a small chamber beneath my paws one man named Edgar Cayce believe this chamber how secrets about the Egyptians including information on the lost city of Atlantis do you actually believe that stuff no not at all but hey speaking of my paws did you notice what's between them it's a mummy I'm bouncing no it's an inscribed stone which tells a cool story the stone tells of a dream that mows of the forth had when he was Prince while on a hunting expedition in the desert he stopped to rest under the head of the Sphinx which was buried up to the neck and sand he soon fell asleep and had a dream in which the Sphinx told him that if he cleared away the sand and restored it he would become the next Pharaoh after completing the restoration of the Sphinx he placed a carved stone tablet now known as the dream Stella between the two paws of the Sphinx and that's not the only time I've been buried by sand experts believe it's happened many times in fact it wasn't until the 1920s that I was fully excavated Hey where'd you go so what are we doing down here the Sphinx said there may be a hidden chamber beneath his paws so there was no way I was in this video before seeing what was down hey mister Demopoulos I found a friend what is pants this video could not be made without the help from my patrons on patreon especially mr.
