NARRATOR: Virginia Beach, Virginia, 1932.
American psychic and healer Edgar Cayce,
known as the sleeping prophet, gains worldwide attention
by remotely diagnosing illnesses in patients
located hundreds of miles away with an astounding
degree of accuracy.
He could diagnose people's physical problems.
He could tell you what's in a book.
He could find something at a great distance.
He could even read the Akashic Record, the book of life.
NARRATOR: During one of his many psychic trances,
Cayce makes an astonishing claim regarding the Sphinx.
JOHN VAN AUKEN: Edgar Cayce could tell you about prehistory
and reincarnation, and what your soul had been doing
prior to this incarnation.
He actually gave readings for his own soul that
had been a high priest in ancient Egypt
and was directly associated with the building of the Sphinx.
DAVID WILCOCK: Edgar Cayce had in his readings
a statement that the Sphinx and the pyramids
were built in approximately 10,490 BC.
There's a strong suggestion that the Cayce readings were
accurate, and therefore their dating
of the Sphinx and the pyramids also was accurate.
NARRATOR: Up until his death in 1945,
Cayce gave dozens of readings about the Sphinx.
These readings claimed the Sphinx was directly related
to an ancient civilization that many believed
once existed here on Earth--
the lost continent of Atlantis.
DAVID WILCOCK: The Edgar Cayce readings
specifically say that Atlantis, as recorded by Plato,
was not a myth.
He leaked that information given to him
by the Egyptian priesthood and put it
into his books, "The Timaeus" and "The Critias."
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: Here's the interesting thing.
Plato describes that Atlantis existed exactly
at the same time that ancient Egypt experienced what they
referred to as a golden age.
NARRATOR: If the Cayce readings about the existence of Atlantis
are true, then might the Sphinx actually
be a remnant from this advanced civilization?
Perhaps further clues to this connection
can be found with yet another Cayce prophecy
regarding the Sphinx.
JONATHAN YOUNG: Cayce dreamed that under the right paw
of the Sphinx, there was a chamber at a very specific
place that apparently hold the Hall of Records
from the lost civilization of Atlantis,
which Cayce felt he was a direct part of.
JOHN VAN AUKEN: When Atlantis was sinking,
the Atlanteans were aware of the importance
of saving these records.
And they also were aware of the need to hide
the records of prehistory.
DAVID WILCOCK: If we locate the original Hall of Records,
we would be essentially accessing
the equivalent of a Google search engine,
but it's the Atlantean internet.
So the Sphinx is an entry point that could reveal once
and for all that humankind is much older on Earth
than we thought.
NARRATOR: The Giza Plateau, 1978.
45 years after Cayce's reading, the Edgar Cayce foundation
initiates the Sphinx Exploration Project for the sole purpose
of locating secret chambers under the Sphinx that may
lead to the Hall of Records.
They were allowed, amazingly, to drill
holes under the Sphinx to detect this possible chamber.
They drilled eight holes.
Unfortunately nothing of certainty was found.
They were stopped at the last minute-- apparently they
were very close they felt--
by the Egyptian army.
We did find anomalies beneath the Sphinx.
Now, these could be chambers, not just cracks or caves.
Edgar Cayce prophesied that in the future,
and in the relatively near future,
we would discover the secret chamber of the Hall of Records.
One of the stories of the Sphinx
is that there is a Hall of Records
that's being kept there--
certain machines and technology and libraries
sealed in a special room until the time is right
that we're ready to discover it, and that time
may be coming soon.
