This article will be something of a continuation or addition to the head hatch. From that article, I realized that many never knew about the hatch on the head and became interested in this topic, so I decided to figure it out in as much detail and in more detail as possible.
There is little information for obvious reasons, but what I did not write in the article about the hatch is actually enough to draw some new conclusions and find out something interesting.
In the previous article, I did not mention the hatch on the back and behind the sphinx, but I knew about them. But as it turned out, there are even more passages, there are about 5-6 of them, which is surprising when you realize how many mysteries a sculpture, even if ancient, but still ordinary at first glance, can store.
By the way, I, of course, partly understand some skeptics, but in the previous article there were even people who wrote that the hatch on the head is a photoshop. It sounds funny, of course, given the huge amount of facts and the presence of a concrete (as far as I know) hatch in our time on the head of the sphinx.
There are still passages behind the sphinx, near the sphinx's ear, on its back and somewhere in the middle of the sculpture itself, only the passage was laid with bricks in the 20th century, when the sculpture was "restored".

The last entrance is not confirmed, but it should have been right between the front paws of the sphinx and if I am not mistaken, this passage was described by Herodotus, stating that only a select few could enter there.
We figured out about this and now the most interesting thing, namely, information from the beginning of the 20th century.
At the very beginning of the 20th century, an American group of Egyptologists led by Zawi Hawass (who is known not only for the study of the sphinx), as well as Mark Lehner, learned about the passage in the head, after which, obviously, they wanted to investigate everything.
During such a time, information is forgotten, classified, distorted, etc., but still something came about the finds inside the sphinx.
As you know, they found a course of about 10 meters in length, which supposedly simply ended at a rock at a dead end. There was also a move to the Sphinx itself, and I have read many times about a move going towards the pyramids, but nothing is known about it.
In other words, nothing interesting was allegedly found there. Since that time, there are pictures where, in principle, except for the passage, you really can't see anything. But as you might guess, after that incident, the sphinx was hit several more times, only there is no information about this.
And the Egyptian authorities, let me remind you, upon discovering rooms under one of the sphinx's paws, prohibited any excavations and generally reacted to this rather harshly.
But during the research of the 1920s, there is no information at all about the rooms under the paws, which means they were not found, either the information did not reach our time, or the researchers simply did not want to talk about what they found.
Now, I want to talk a little about the versions and what, in theory, can be found under the sphinx.
It is not even worth discussing any technical premises for the sphinx, since at the beginning of the 20th century, during the "excavations" of most of the sphinx, all the passages were already there.
The headdress of the sphinx, which many write about, also does not stand up to criticism, since in black-and-white photographs somewhere in the 19th-20th centuries, the passage in the head was open, and then it was simply sealed with concrete.
As for the ancient legends, which may not be just legends, about the underground city under the Giza plateau, as well as the ancient library, the public is unlikely to ever find out, but given that at least some information about the passages under the Sphinx is, it means they are somewhere lead.
Where they lead and what they found under the Sphinx can only be guessed at, but given the maximum "interest" of the Egyptian authorities in this, one can guess that no one should really know about this.
Well, now I have told exactly everything in the details that are known in our time. Judging by the "restoration work" of the 20th century, then the entrance was blocked up with bricks somewhere right near the body of the sphinx, and the passage in the head was also filled with concrete.
In principle, I always wrote that the "restoration work" of the XIX-XX centuries around the world, for some reason, only destroyed many details that are valuable for the true history, and not vice versa. But that's another topic.
