Secret about lost sphinx: Discovery could change history!

Gizeh, Ägypten - researchers have discovered evidence of the possible existence of a second sphinx near the Great Sphinx from Gizeh. According to a report by Oe24 this second statue could have once been a part of a dramaturgical duo. British scientists, Gerry Cannon and Malcolm Hutton, are based on historical sources that come from Greek, Roman and Arabic authors and report on the existence of two sphingen.
