Graham Hancock, Robert Bauval, and Richard C. Hoagland converge for a tense discussion about the power struggle surrounding a planned excavation beneath the Great Sphinx at Giza. The Schor Foundation has received a license to open underground chambers discovered beneath the limestone plateau, but Egyptian antiquities director Zahi Hawass has publicly contradicted these plans, claiming the project has been canceled entirely.
Richard C. Hoagland details a five-hour meeting with expedition funder Joseph Schor, who hopes to confirm artifacts dating to the 10,500 BC time frame linked to Edgar Cayce's prophecies. Hoagland also reveals NASA connections to Egyptian archaeology through key personnel, suggesting a decades-long institutional interest in what lies beneath Giza. Hancock and Bauval, recently expelled from the plateau without ceremony, insist that any opening must involve the full world media rather than a private affair conducted behind closed doors.
The conversation exposes a web of geopolitics, Islamic fundamentalism concerns, and clashing personalities that threaten to keep potentially civilization-changing discoveries locked beneath the desert. Art Bell navigates the competing agendas while teasing revelations he cannot yet share publicly.
