  17. Edgar Cayce (Case- ē) also known as “The Sleeping prophet” and the Sphinx have a history. He is alleged to have seen a vault under one of the Sphinx’s paws. This vault he said, contained the last archive of some ancient civilisation.

  19. Perhaps you should rename your channel "Vampire of the Library" I'd still be here. I mean, if I can use the library for the price of a nibble, all I ask is leave enough that I don't pass out while cuddling with the book for a few hours. LOL
    I absolutely love the Sphinx!
    Oh, smooth ad read transition, Chinzia. 🙂
    Sphinxalicious! Thank you so much, Chizia! <3

  24. I think shesepankh is probably pronounced like she-sep-ank. My approach to pronouncing Egyptian words is to work from any hieroglyphs I recognize, and "ankh" is a common one, you might recognize it in the middle of Tutankhamun. I assume shesep is also a hieroglyph or pair of hieroglyphs though I don't know all the transliterations. That said, the "correct" pronunciation is how modern egyptologists pronounce it, and those pronunciations were devised after hieroglyphs were decrypted but before linguists were able to more accurately work out all the sounds, so these names aren't necessarily how ancient Egyptians pronounced them.

  28. Your skin isn't pale it's porcelain. I'm still not sure if you are a vampire or not though… 😉

    Open question: What does anyone think about the Sphinx being older than generally thought because of supposed water erosion, and when the sphinx was built it was too dry so there shouldn't be that type of erosion blah blah blah. Does anyone educated on the topic think that's total BS or could it be possible? It's a hypothesis bandied about by Graham Hancock and others.

  45. Note that South Asian Sphinxes were most likely derived from Greek Sphinxes, introduced into the Hellenistic kingdoms of Northern India after the time of Alexander the Great, rather than being introduced from Egypt directly or being a coincidental common idea.
