00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
The Great Spanx is among the Earth's greatest cultural mysteries.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,000
In the 1930s, self-styled prophet Edgar Cayce predicted that the secrets of the Spanx would be revealed sometime in the 1990s,

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,000
and Cayce, it turns out, may have been right.

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:31,000
There is no more powerful emblem of the mystery of the past than the Great Spanx of Egypt.

5
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:38,000
According to ancient Egyptian mythology, the Spanx was a living being with a human head and the body of a lion.

6
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Those who dared approach the Spanx were presented with a riddle, and those who could not solve it were destroyed.

7
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Like its mythological counterpart, the Great Stone Spanx in Egypt poses an ancient riddle for humankind, who built it and why.

8
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:59,000
And now there is a new challenge in the riddle of the Spanx, not only is the how and why of the Spanx being called into question,

9
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:06,000
but also the when. Could this great monument predate Egypt, predate in fact all known civilizations?

10
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:13,000
Edgar Cayce thought so. He was an American mystic, one of the most accurate of all modern psychics.

11
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Known as the Sleeping Prophet, Cayce's revelations while in a trance-like state fill hundreds of volumes and are housed at his foundation in Virginia Beach.

12
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:33,000
During a series of readings in the 1930s, Cayce prophesied at length about the monuments on the Giza Plateau, revealing what he believed to be the origin of this fakes.

13
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:41,000
It was like he was in the deep unconscious mind, and he was accessing the universal consciousness that contained all wisdom.

14
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:51,000
And when they asked him specifically about ancient Egypt, he said that this place was built in the year 10,500 BC,

15
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:57,000
and that these dates would be supported somewhere around 1998.

16
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Mainstream archaeologists date the Spanx and the Great Pyramid at Giza to 2500 BC, when they were built to honor the pharaohs of the Fourth Dynasty.

17
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Cayce's date of 10,500 BC is dismissed by mainstream science, but a few researchers are coming forward, as Cayce predicted, to support his unorthodox view.

18
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:26,000
I could see that in the geology lay the key to this total reversal of history.

19
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:37,000
John Anthony West is a self-described rogue Egyptologist. He believes that the pattern of erosion on this fakes rules out the mainstream date of 2500 BC.

20
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:47,000
In a nutshell, the theory is that the Spanx has been weathered by water, and specifically by rain falling down over the plateau over many thousands of years.

21
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:54,000
You look at the Spanx and you see that it's this rounded profile with deep fissures going down the rock face.

22
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,000
This can only be produced by rainfall falling over the plateau.

23
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Rain erosion in the Sahara is impossible now, but before 10,000 BC, this part of Africa was a fertile grassland.

24
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:14,000
So West points out in his book, if the Spanx has been eroded by water, it must date back before 10,000 BC.

25
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:21,000
The same conclusion, using different evidence, has also been reached by authors Robert Baval and Graham Hancock.

26
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Help us understand the mirror image of the monument to Giza and the sky at certain points in time, because that's key to understanding the entire concept you're putting forward.

27
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:43,000
There is only one time where the image of the sky locks with the image on the ground, and this occurs and only occurs in 10,500 BC.

28
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Baval and Hancock have discovered that the Egyptian sky in 10,500 BC bears an uncanny resemblance to the layout of the monuments on the Giza plateau.

29
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:04,000
10,500 BC, this is when the Sphinx is gazing directly at his own image, the constellation of Leo.

30
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:18,000
And if we are to turn 90 degrees and face due south, we would see the three stars of Orion's bent in a pattern that mimics exactly the pattern of the pyramid on the ground.

31
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:27,000
So we have here a perfect conjunction taking place only and only in 10,500 BC.

32
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:41,000
But history books teach us that in 10,500 BC our human ancestors were still in a primitive state, incapable of the advanced astronomical and engineering skills necessary to build great monuments.

33
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:48,000
We're suggesting that the entire foundation on which our notion of human history rests is faulty.

34
00:04:48,000 --> 00:05:02,000
The evidence is beginning to suggest to us that a whole chapter is missing from the human story, that all the legends of a great lost civilization that haunt the missed memories of mankind may be true.

35
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:14,000
One thing is for sure, there was an enormous horrendous cataclysm at the end of the last ice age and this brings us to that date of 10,500 BC that we focus on in the monuments.

36
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Something happened to the world at the end of the last ice age of sufficient magnitude to have wiped out a whole civilization and what we're arguing is that the traces of that lost civilization may be what confronts us at Giza.

37
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:35,000
The new findings of West, Boval and Hancock support Casey's 60 year old predictions to the letter.

38
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Even more startling is another one of Casey's early prophecies, that the record of a lost civilization would be found in a hidden chamber under the left paw of the Sphinx.

39
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,000
In May of 1993 just such a chamber was found. It has yet to be opened.

40
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:57,000
In good case he said that the lost records of Atlantis would be found in a chamber between the paws of the Sphinx.

41
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:05,000
Our seismograph detected a chamber between the paws of the Sphinx. What's in that chamber? Absolutely we don't know.

42
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:12,000
But certainly our findings seem to corroborate certain of his key prophecies.

43
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:22,000
He prophesied that that Hall of Records would be found again and would be opened between 1996 and 1998.

44
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:28,000
If there is a Hall of Records and there's something in there, what do you think it is?

45
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:39,000
We think that all the indications suggest that a time capsule was deliberately concealed at Giza in Egypt with the intention that it should be found one day.

46
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:48,000
A time capsule that would abolish all ambiguity over this matter and make it absolutely certain of what had gone before and of what we have forgotten.

47
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:57,000
But a time capsule that was not intended to be found by barbarians, that was hidden away very carefully to be found as the ancient texts say by the fully worthy.

48
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Perhaps that's who we are, perhaps that time has come, perhaps that's the decision and the awe inspiring prospect that we confront in the near future.

49
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:15,000
The right to open the chamber under the paws of the Sphinx is something of a political game these days.

50
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:23,000
And the Egyptian government is holding all the cards. Only they know when and if the secrets of the Sphinx will be revealed to the world.
