I think it was.... one of my reasons is because the face is so much smaller than the rest of the body.... when you see it there in Egypt it is so very apparent!... they had it/sphinx blocked off when I was there but I could absolutly get a great view.

Egyptain art is very proportionate!... but I will say the body is very elongated... but wouldn't look that way if the head was larger.... somehow I think that's a bit of an illusion regarding the body....

and..... some of the older Egyptian pictures (hieroglyphs) seem to denote lion heads..... the lion was a symbol of time.... lions were protectors too... see them on the sides of thrones...

i think propably their hidden passages in sphinx! think they scan the thing with ground radar sonar or whatever to see if they find any passages! they need to do the same to the great pryamid!
[right][snapback]643742[/snapback][/right]

as for the sphinx not looking like a lion that can be explained by looking at hieroglyphs. None of the lion pictures look lions. Simply because there were no lions in Egypt, at least to my understanding. Many of the stories of lions were from outside egypt. I have heard this although I'm way to damn lazy to go check my facts. *yawns*

I keep hearing about this small chamber allegedly found under the right paw, however I have yet to see a single credible source confirming its existance.
[right][snapback]655975[/snapback][/right]

So the small tunnel turned out to be nothing?  It lead to no-where?  Nothing but a fissure or air passage? Boy, I've been outta the loop on Egypt finds for a while.  I need to beef up on the new finds and failures.  Thanks for the up-date.  That's go in the vault.  Can anyone else confirm this?  I'll regret this, but Marduk...what's your take?

Except for the Atlanteans, of course.

Your source Edgar cayce also predicted that atlantis would be discovered. In the 60s
The story that the egyptian authjorities were worried that digging would damage the sphinx is rubbish.
they're just not in the habit of letting people dig where they like with just one untested ground radar scan as evidence.
Lots of teams have used ground penetrating radar in that area and didn't find anything.
ground penetrating radar iirc is able to penetrate 30 feet of loose soil in optimum conditions
it doesn't work at all on bedrock like which the sphinx is built on.

However, Lions in the ancient world were regarded as guardians of great knowledge. although that probably sounds like it backs up the possibility of a secret chamber, it is far more likely to have originated the myth in the first place.
one other slightly more obvious thing that should strike your common sense. What secret knowledge exactly are you expecting to find. We know pretty much all the technical knowledge that the egyptians had. Theres no evidence of superior technology anywhere else in egypt so if the egyptians buried something there then why didn't they use it themselves. If you're expecting a start trek type computer core or something then you just have a vivid imagination.
I would of course like it to be true. But there isn't much chance of it is there

According to E.C. a portion of Atantis would be discovered in 1967-68 and in 1968 a long stone road or wall was discovered off the Bimini channel. The stones are too unified to be natural. No one can explain them, and I believe firmly E.C. was right. I believe there is a lost civilization to be found out there. And nothing you can say, Marduk, will change my mind. But I do not follow my faith blindly like religion, rather I've taken into all the facts before me and this is the conclusion I have set.

Those are not even the stones.  These are...

And I've read tons of books on Atlantis, even Edgar Cayce on Atlantis, and he says a portion.  You have no idea what you're talking about, Marduk.  I'm a specialist on Atlantis!

Bluntly: Plato doesn't tell it, he recounts it. Socrates relies it.  Plato hides in the shadows and listens.  Socrates spoke to a scrab in Eygpt who tells him of a people who lives in the sea, countless years ago, who were completely swallowed up.

You wanna play, Marduk... Let's play!  You don't know who you're messing with when it comes to Atlantis.  My name isn't Atlantis Rises for nothing.

That link is to the pictures, not to the other portion of the site.  I'm stating you linked to the wrong pictures.  My link is the Bimini Road (Wall).

You wanna read my theories, go to the editorial page and read my column.


I think you're afriad to believe in anything because you'd be mocked.  I'm not afraid!  But I won't get into an argument with you, Marduk.  You enjoy putting people down.  But when it comes to Atlantis, you've met your match, buddy.

As for my age, I'm a mature 29.    Thank you!

According to Plato outside the Pillars of Heracles, the Atlantic Ocean. 

And I never said Socrates wrote the Timeaus and Criteus, you didn't read my post clearly.  My answer is correct.  Socrates was the protagonist in the Timeaus and recounted the story to his gatherers.  Plato was listening off-stage, so to speak, writing the two tales later in life, about 20-30 years later. 

Read my article.

Neither of you seems to be reading each others posts anymore.

Atlantis, please note that Marduk makes it clear that the picture he posted is of the Giant's Causeway, in Ireland.  He does not, at any time, pretend that it is the Bimini wall, and only posts it as an example of natural forming stone that looks, to the untrained eye, man-made.

Marduk, Atlantis never claimed Socrates wrote Plato's Dialogues (which is not to say that Atlantis is displaying particularly correct knowledge concerning them).  Damn, you were doing so well too, before flying off the handle.

In regards to Cayce, he does indeed say only a portion, however...

Atlantis, I am curious as to the extent of your knowledge.  I am not a specialist on Atlantis, however I am quite skilled at research and methodology, and have gathered quite a bit of data on this subject myself..  Please, tell me, so that I might be able to gauge your actual level of knowledge:

1)  Did Edgar Cayce make the prediction that Atlantis (or a portion thereof) would be found at Bimini?

2)  What did Edgar Cayce call the portion that would be discovered?

These are not trick questions, but rather questions that a specialist would be able to answer more readily than a novice.  Forgive my skepticism, but there are a lot of pretenders here.

1) At Bimini, no. He said a portion would resurface in either 1967-68. He wasn't sure where. It was only when a plane was flying over the spot was the prediction validated.
2) The right edge, if my memory recalls.

I'm sorry, let me clarify:

1) Who said a portion of Atlantis would be found in Bimini?

2) Edgar Cayce specifically named the portion of Atlantis that would be found. What did he call it?

I do recommend a re-reading of Plato's Dialogue (if you have read them, you know the aren't that long). Please note that the story of the origin of the story is part of the actual story itself, not a separate event. In other words, using it to support the authenticity of the story is similar to supporting the authenticity of Hogwarts by citing passages from the Harry Potter books.

My knowledge is a little rusty, so please forgive me. 1). E.C. 2) West Edge.
