  Okay, everyone. Now we have too much to do because
• 0:02
  apparently Chelsea says this is a long haul.
• 0:05
  So we've already preselected the Fringy Mini
• 0:09
  for this week. It's a journey to the fringe first.
• 0:11
  Yes, we've actually planned things. So this week
• 0:15
  we are starting with, and it might seem like
• 0:17
  a weird pick, DailyMail .com or Daily Mail, the
• 0:22
  one that we don't like. But don't worry, it's
• 0:25
  not for any of the things we don't like it for.
• 0:27
  This is for one of those fringe topics. That
• 0:29
  we do like it for. Yes. Okay. And don't check
• 0:32
  its veracity for. So, article published March

  title, A Second Sphinx Detected in Egypt as Scans
• 0:45
  Hint at Underground Megastructure. Ancient Egyptians
• 0:48
  may have left behind a cryptic clue to a hidden
• 0:51
  second Sphinx carved directly into stone more
• 0:54
  than 3 ,000 years ago. The dream Stella, positioned
• 0:57
  between the paws of the Great Sphinx, appears
• 1:00
  to depict two Sphinx figures, hinting that the
• 1:03
  legendary monument may once have had a twin.
• 1:07
  New Italian researchers, who in 2025 claim to
• 1:10
  have uncovered massive underground structures
• 1:12
  beneath the Giza Plateau, believe they have identified
• 1:16
  the second guardian buried deep beneath the sand.
• 1:19
  Filippo Biondi revealed the discovery on Thursday
• 1:23
  while speaking on the Matt Beal Limitless podcast,
• 1:26
  explaining that lines drawn from... From the
• 1:29
  pyramid to the known sphinx, point to an identical
• 1:32
  mirrored location where the buried structure
• 1:35
  is believed to lie. And yes, Chelsea, I'm on
• 1:37
  the same page as you as soon as it's revealed
• 1:39
  on a podcast. I immediately discredit anything
• 1:42
  that's coming out right now. And the name of
• 1:45
  the podcast, which I immediately forgot. Matt
• 1:49
  Beal's Limitless Podcast? Yes. Yep, Limitless.
• 1:52
  Turns out it has its limits, and that is in believability.
• 1:58
  Quote, we are finding precise geometrical correlation,
• 2:01
  100 % of correlation in the, sorry, we are finding
• 2:05
  the precise geometrical correlation, 100 % of
• 2:10
  correlation in this symmetry. End quote, he said.
• 2:15
  Adding, we are very confident to announce this.
• 2:20
  We have confidence of about 80%, end quote. I
• 2:25
  don't know what he said. I know, my Italian's
• 2:30
  so good. Using satellite radar technology capable
• 2:35
  of detecting subtle ground vibrations, Biondi
• 2:39
  claimed the data points to a massive structure
• 2:42
  concealed beneath a 180 -foot -high mound of
• 2:45
  hardened sand, which he said is composed of solidified
• 2:47
  sand rather than natural bedrock. Preliminary
• 2:50
  scans show vertical shafts and passageways striking
• 2:53
  similar to those already found beneath the original
• 2:56
  Sphinx, with dense vertical lines believed to
• 2:59
  represent the solid walls of underground shafts
• 3:02
  rather than empty voids. Beyond the possible
• 3:04
  second Sphinx, Biondi believes the findings hint
• 3:07
  at something even larger, an extensive underground
• 3:09
  complex beneath the Giza plateau itself. That
• 3:12
  seems believable. Yeah. I mean, he said it in
• 3:15
  that, like... very pure who can lie in that accent
• 3:19
  accent so that's the whole reason i said it of
• 3:22
  course quote down but underneath the geese of
• 3:26
  plateau there is a there is a something very
• 3:30
  huge that we are measuring he said there is an
• 3:34
  underground megastructure that is sorry that
• 3:37
  was not italian i don't know what it was but
• 3:39
  it was an accent and it was probably a little
• 3:42
  racist i am so sorry It was not Italian. The
• 3:47
  Dream Stella, also known as the Sink Stella,
• 3:50
  was erected between the front paws of the Great
• 3:53
  Sphinx of Giza by Pharaoh Thutmose IV around
• 3:56
  1401 BC during the Egyptian 18th Dynasty. The
• 4:00
  ancient inscription, like many created during
• 4:04
  the New Kingdom, was intended to reinforce the
• 4:06
  ruler's divine right to the throne. Legend has
• 4:09
  it that Stella justified Thutmose IV's unexpected
• 4:12
  rise to power by recounting a dream where the
• 4:14
  Sphinx promised him the throne in exchange for
• 4:16
  restoring the monument, blending political propaganda
• 4:19
  with religious legitimacy, and documenting early
• 4:23
  restoration efforts. However, Biondi and his
• 4:26
  team, in a really weird accent, believe that
• 4:29
  there is more truth than myth behind the imagery.
• 4:32
  saying the carvings showing two Sphinx figures
• 4:35
  may not have been symbolic at all, but instead
• 4:38
  a clue at the layout of the monuments themselves.
• 4:41
  He and his team are not the only researchers
• 4:43
  to suggest the second Sphinx may be buried beneath
• 4:46
  the Giza Plateau, as Egyptologist Bassem El -Shamah
• 4:49
  first raised the theory more than a decade ago.
• 4:53
  Alshama cited ancient Egyptian records and mythology
• 4:56
  describing lightning striking the Sphinx, which
• 4:58
  she believes may refer to a second monument that
• 5:01
  was later destroyed, possibly after being cursed
• 5:03
  by one of Egypt's most powerful deities. Also,
• 5:06
  I might add, maybe being struck by lightning.
• 5:09
  Yeah, that's actually what I thought they were
• 5:11
  going to say. Yeah. Egypt's former minister of
• 5:16
  antiques, Zahi Hawass, has long dismissed Alshama's
• 5:19
  theory, noting in 2017, the area has been dug
• 5:22
  up by so many archaeologists and it's yielding
• 5:25
  nothing. However, Biondi explained that when
• 5:28
  they traced the line from the center of the Khafre
• 5:30
  pyramid to the existing Sphinx, the alignment
• 5:32
  created a precise geometric path and cross plateau,
• 5:35
  forming what he described as a mirrored reference
• 5:38
  line used to identify the second location. When
• 5:41
  that same alignment was mirrored from the center
• 5:43
  of the Great Pyramid, it pointed to another location
• 5:46
  on the opposite side, the exact spot where scans
• 5:48
  now suggest the second Sphinx may be buried beneath
• 5:51
  a mound of hardened sand. Satellite images of
• 5:54
  the Gaza Plateau, which feature the Great Pyramid
• 5:57
  of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafra, and the Pyramid
• 5:59
  of Mankar and the Great Sphinx, revealed a mound
• 6:03
  on the surface, and Filippo believes it is above
• 6:05
  the second Sphinx. Quote, that's a small mountain.
• 6:10
  has a height of approximately 108 feet. End quote,
• 6:14
  he explained. Quote, the first Sphinx sits slightly
• 6:18
  below the surrounding surface in a shallow depression.
• 6:23
  So it is possible that the second, oh man, there's
• 6:26
  just no words to latch onto here, sorry. The
• 6:29
  possible second Sphinx could be hidden beneath
• 6:32
  the higher mound. End quote. He noted that researchers
• 6:35
  are still working to compare elevations between
• 6:38
  the known spikes and the mounds to determine
• 6:40
  whether their heights align, including measuring
• 6:43
  how far each sits relative to the surrounding
• 6:45
  plateau surface. Quote. You know what? He probably
• 6:50
  said this normally. I'm just going to try to
• 6:52
  say it normally. We have to study this more carefully.
• 6:55
  It makes sense to compare the elevations, but
• 6:57
  we're still analyzing the data. End quote. I
• 7:00
  think he would have said that in clear English
• 7:02
  too. Yeah. Despite the remaining uncertainties,
• 7:07
  Biondi said the team believes the structure,
• 7:10
  if it exists, is likely buried beneath the mound
• 7:12
  rather than exposed above ground. Quote, probably
• 7:15
  the second thing is under the small mountain
• 7:18
  because it is high above 108 feet above the ground.
• 7:22
  I think you're doing French Canadian. I might
• 7:26
  be. But what's the difference? I honestly don't
• 7:28
  know. I don't know. If we can tell. And no, the
• 7:33
  problem is, is many French Canadians are Italian
• 7:36
  too. That's the real problem here. It must be.
• 7:39
  I had no idea about it though. Oh yeah, huge.
• 7:42
  Huge population. Biondi said scans of the original
• 7:46
  sphinx also revealed a network of shafts and
• 7:49
  chambers beneath the monument features he now
• 7:52
  believes are mirrored beneath the suspected second
• 7:54
  structure. As they call it. The scan capture
• 7:58
  shafts on the first sphinx and the shafts on
• 8:00
  the hypothetical second sphinx, they explained,
• 8:02
  noting that the similarities between the two
• 8:04
  sites are becoming increasingly difficult to
• 8:06
  ignore. You know what, there's quite a bit more,
• 8:08
  but I think we'll end it there. Mostly because
• 8:11
  my Italian is breaking. My jaw just can't handle
• 8:17
  it anymore. And I can't predict how much more
• 8:20
  I'll have to use it. I think we get the gist
• 8:23
  of it, though. They think there's two Spanxes.
• 8:24
  There's a second Spanx. Yeah. We could have ended
• 8:29
  this after 30 seconds and less Italian. Okay.
• 8:34
  Well, I would say probably. I think. Okay. I
• 8:41
  mean, I got it from the Daily Mail, which we
• 8:43
  never trust unless it's aliens or alien adjacent,
• 8:46
  which I always wonder why I do that, and it's
• 8:49
  just because I don't give that topic pushback,
• 8:51
  so I don't know how much I should care, but that's
• 8:55
  where we're at. Okay, fair enough. Yeah. And,
• 8:58
  yeah, I will think about that for 48 hours. Okay,
• 9:03
  yeah. Well, and you guys got 48 hours, too. not
• 9:08
  only Italian accent is, but realizing that so
• 9:11
  many Quebecers are Italian as well. How your
• 9:16
  French Canadian accent is and how it compares
• 9:19
  to your Italian accent. And I know 48 hours isn't
• 9:21
  that long, but that's what you got. So good luck
• 9:24
  with it. Bye. Bye.
