Uncovering Secrets of the Sphinx
After decades of research, American archaeologist Mark Lehner has some answers about the mysteries of the Egyptian colossus
Article (http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history-archaeology/Uncovering-Secrets-of-the-Sphinx.html?c=y&page=1)
Actually, that headline is a bit misleading. The article does not actually uncover any secrets at all. What it does do is debunk most of the alleged secrets of the Sphinx - which is indeed, quite interesting.
Anyway, it is a very interesting article about current archeological thinking about the Sphinx.
