New video! Some new footage has come to light concerning a particularly interesting set of expeditions at Giza in the 1990s – with significant implications for what just might be below the ground of the Sphinx and Plateau…

This is the video I mentioned wanting to make in my last one on the Labyrinth. I’ve known about this for years but it’s only been recently that ‘lost’ footage came to light!

“I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
“My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
No thing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

— Percy Shelley, “Ozymandias”, 1819.

The ‘traveller from an antique land’ refers to Greek historian Diodorus Siculus, who wrote in his Bibliotheca historica, describing a massive Egyptian statue: “King of Kings Ozymandias am I. If any want to know how great I am and where I lie, let him outdo me in my work.”

We have been marveling at these statues for thousands of years.

Thanks to everyone who came on the trip in March 2025!
