The Egyptian Physician, artist and aeromodeller Dr. Khalil Messiha spent more than four years searching about the Hall of records or the secret burial chamber of King Khufu (Cheops ). Sometimes this took place in the early morning or mid-day, or midnight. In the beginning of 1967, he applied officially to the Egyptian Antiquities Department, and was permitted to work under the supervision of their officials. His dowsing instruments indicated the presence of a corridor under the floor of the "Queens room" near its western wall, and that it extends downwards twenty meters, where it led to the Khufu`s burial chamber. The Queen's chamber was covered with a thick layer of mud, ten centimeters thick, that masked any sign of the entrance indicated by dowsing. The workers removed the mud layer, exposing the floor which is made of huge stones (lime stone) of different dimensions, some estimated to weigh over 30 tons. During the process of clearing the mud layer, he found chips of bronze engraving tools and these were sent to the laboratory of the Antiquities Department. The workers found it extremely difficult to move the stones over the entrance and they were content to drill a hole through it, through which they passed a long wire which went down and down. Also through that hole, they procured a sample of powdered "mortar", reddish in color, which was also sent to laboratory. Dr. Khalil was permitted to work for only ten days, after which he received an official order to halt his excavations, and let a "Cosmic Rays" project begin, which had just arrived, sponsored by an American, Dr. Alvarez, and aimed to explore the 2nd pyramid of Khephren rather than the Great pyramid of Khufu. When he discussed this with the officials, they said when the Cosmic Rays work is finished, you can resume his excavations. After four years the Cosmic Rays Project got no definite results, as the force fields (of a radiesthetic nature) led the utilized electronic devices astray. Up to the year 1986 the work of Dr. Khalil Messiha was postponed until a French expedition arrived and drilled holes in the corridor leading to the Queen's chamber. This led Dr. Khalil to meet again with the General Director, Dr. Ahmed Kadry. He asked Dr. Khalil for more experiments at other sites (including the Sphinx), which he finished two years later and found an exciting discoveries. In the year 1986 a Japanese expedition using certain radar devices which can penetrate 2-4 meters into these ancient structures. They also found several cavities, and particularly referred to a cavity near the western wall of the Queen's chamber. But the Japanese electronic devices indicated that it is a long cavity though they could not discern one more than two or three meters in length. But the story didn't reach the end yet, because Dr. Khalil said in the year 1967 that he is the opener of the way to the "Hall of Records", and he will not go inside. He added that the world will not be able to open it until the year 2000. Dr. Khalil Messiha was passed away in peace on 29 Dec. 1998. |

EXCAVATIONS IN FRONT AND BENEATH THE "GREAT SPHINX
OF GIZA"
The Great Sphinx is a gigantic statue, with lion body and the head of a man. It is a monolith, carved out of the limestone bedrock of the Giza plateau, two hundred and forty feet long, thirty - eight feet wide across the shoulders, and sixty - six feet high. There is a belief that the Great Sphinx of Giza was fashioned during the period of Egyptian history classified as the "Old Kingdom", on the address of the Fourth Dynasty Pharaoh named Khefre whom the Greeks later knew as Chephren and who reined from 2520 - 2494 BC. Immediately in front of the Sphinx lie the ruins of a small temple. Its principal feature was a colonnaded court paved with alabaster. It dates from the same period as Great Sphinx statue. Built on a ground plan measuring 147 feet in each direction and rising to a height of 43 feet. Two doorways pierced the east wall, around each doorway was carved a band of hieroglyphic inscription giving the name and title of the King, but only the last words "beloved of (the Goddess) Bastet and beloved of (the Goddess) Hathor are preserved, no other inscriptions or relieves occur anywhere else in the building. The Organization of Egyptian Archaeology (O.E.A.) asked Dr. Khalil Messiha in the Year 1987 to practice his research in Radiesthesia in the Shpinx area at Giza plateau. He used the ancient Egyptian instruments and a radionic computer to investigate the area (1). His work began by taking samples (by official permission), and these samples actually were taken from the weathered parts of the Sphinx (actually they weighed few grams). Colored Photographs of the Great Sphinx were taken from different angles. Several diagrammatic charts of the body of the Sphinx, also its ground plans were drawn for the analysis in the instrument. No underground tunnels or chambers have been found in the area until now. In the year 1960 the eastern part of Sphinx was investigated by (O.E.A.) by making holes to 6 meters depth and found nothing. The work of Dr. Khalil was faraway from this part. The radionic instruments, used by Dr. Khalil Messiha showed a number of previously undiscovered rooms and other relics as follows: 1- Confirmed the presence of a "statues" beneath the hands of the Sphinx. 2- Confirmed the presence of a "sarcophagus" under the body of the Sphinx. 3- Showed the presence of an "altar" and a granite "statue" in a geometrical cavity under the Sphinx. 4- Compiled the presence of geometrical cavities or rooms. 5- Showed the presence of several features under the 3rd part of the body of the Sphinx two corridors, a staircase, and a geometrical cavity. (1) The same instrument was used by Dr. Khalil in the year 1967, to discover the "Hall of Records", or King Khufu`s secrete burial chamber.
