Egyptian archaeologist Dr. Zahi Hawass met the American Consul in Cairo Jeff Ludinsky, and a high-ranking American delegation, including intellectuals, writers, professors at universities and public figures in front of the Great Sphinx. Dr. Zahi Hawass told the delegation that the Great Sphinx belongs to King Khafra, founder of the second pyramid. , Stressing that those allegations that there is a lost city under the Sphinx are not connected to reality with any connection, and have no scientific evidence at all, and we have pictures of the pits that were made under the Sphinx that show that the "Great Sphinx" is a deaf rock with no paths below. .

Hawass talked about the recent archaeological discoveries that he made in the Saqqara area and his excavations in the Valley of the Monkeys in the Western Valley, and that he is currently looking for the Imhotep tomb in Saqqara, and he will announce an archaeological discovery next April from the city of Luxor.

The archaeologist Dr. Hawass added that the most important discovery in the 21st century is the discovery of the Wadi Al-Jarf papyrus, which told us about many secrets in building the pyramid of Khufu, and that the archaeological discoveries made by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities greatly promote Egyptian tourism in all countries of the world.

Hawass confirmed that before the end of this March, the world will witness a parade of royal mummies, which will move from the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Fustat.
