I'm always tickled to find that we're still learning more about ancient cultures and civilizations. That's because it's fascinating to discover that there's still so much we don't know about those who came before us, no matter how long ago they existed on this Earth. That's especially true for ancient Egypt, which is believed to have existed thousands of years ago.

But, despite being so old, researchers are always learning more about what went on way back then thanks to emerging technologies that allow us to literally look deeper than ever before. Now, researchers say that their latest round of imaging may have uncovered two massive finds, including an ancient megastructure and a second Sphinx. If true, this will change everything we thought we knew about the region.

Alright history buffs, you're going to want to hold onto your hats because researchers say that underground scans that were completed in the area surrounding the Great Pyramid of Giza appear to show evidence that a second Sphinx is buried beneath the sand.

Filippo Biondi, One of the radar engineers responsible for the find appeared on the Matt Beall Limitless podcast, where he shared the exciting news, saying that he was "very confident" about his findings, adding that he was about "80 percent" sure that the massive structure he found would turn out to be a second version of the iconic structure.

Biondi added that he found "symmetrical correlations" that led him to believe that the structure he found would turn out to be another Sphinx. But, that wasn't all Biondi had to say, he also shared that he thinks there's an "underground megastructure" down there as well due to the presence of "vertical shafts" and "horizontal passages."

But, not everyone believes the hype. According to Lad Bible, several researchers say it's too soon to get excited about this discovery, since there were other structures that were found that would disprove the theory.

Other critics said that the methods used to detect these structures wasn't "scientifically approved."

News of a second Sphinx aside, there are many other exciting finds coming out of Egypt, that hopeful travelers could potentially get to check out the next time they are in town. For example, Popular Mechanics says that archaeologists made a pretty big find on the west bank of the Nile, where excavated tombs were found to hold hundreds of years worth of artifacts and history, including:

Hieroglyphics

Ceramic pots

Personal items

Mirrors

Jewlery

These items aren't on display yet, but hopefully they will be soon enough. As for those artifacts you can see now, you may want to check out some of the region's most renowned museums, including The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), which overlooks the Giza Plateau and pyramids, and contains more than 50,000 pieces that cover around 7,000 years of history.
