Ancient Architects
With Anyextee and also UnchartedX set to release videos on the subject of the Great Sphinx of Giza in Egypt (channel links below), I thought it would be a good idea to republish the RARE Sphinx excavation photographsfrom the 1920s, 30s, 70s and 80s, which give us a fantastic insight into the true original nature of the Sphinx. The Great Sphinx which sits before the three large Giza pyramids have been extensively excavated and restored, work that took place all through dynastic history as well as by the Greeks and Romans. In recent history it was excavated in the 19th century by Giovanni Caviglia and Howard Vyse and then again between 1925 and 1936 by Emile Baraize. In this video, I will show you Baraize’s excavation photos from the 1920s without commentary and then photos taken by Mark Lehner in later excavations in the 1970s and 1980s. I hope you enjoy the video. Please share and like and please comment any observations below. All images are taken from Google Images and the ARCE website for educational purposes only.
