Sphinx’s Hidden Chambers: Scientists Left Curious
The Egyptian Sphinx at Giza could be the entrance to a “secret city” underground, according to the latest research by historians.
Malcolm Hutton and Gerry Cannon believe that the Sphinx that sits on the sands of the Giza Plateau, opposite the Great Pyramids, could be the gateway to a labyrinth of tunnels and passages and an entire “underground metropolis” that has been lost to the world due to a cover-up by the Egyptian authorities.
The historians explain in their upcoming book “Secrets of the Giza Plateau and a Second Sphinx Revealed” that news of this lost city first made headlines because of a March 1935 Sunday Express article about excavations being carried out at an underground city then said to date back 4,000 years.
The couple says that after that report, nothing more was heard about this city.
Cannon told Express.co.uk: “It was as if all living Egyptologists had lost interest in this wonderful underground metropolis, as all their articles over the next few years focused more on tombs of queens and shafts that had been sunk deep into the ground to the burial tombs.”
Historians believe that a hole at the top of the Sphinx’s head could be an entrance to this lost city, along with other openings in the structure.
However, they claim to have come up against a “wall of pink granite blocks” from the Egyptian authorities.
Cannon said: “There are things down there, tunnels. A lot of people have written about it but they try to cover it up.
“Nobody knows what is down there, nobody has been able to investigate.
“They are afraid that if they find things down there, all their books and all their history will blow out the window.
“They started looking into it but then they stopped. They must have known there were things there but they are worried.”
“Once their entire story is proven wrong, all the books they have written will be thrown away. If they have found something, they don’t dare to show it.
“There are entries, there are photographs that prove it. There is a hole in the top of the Sphinx, in its head.
“Why would it be there? It goes down about 8 to 10 feet and then goes into hallways.
“They have never brought cameras there, or they have and do not want to show them.”
To further complicate the mystery surrounding the origin of the pyramids and the Sphinx, the authors claim that the head of the Sphinx has changed since it was first built and that while the body is made of limestone, the head is carved from an artificial substance.
Cannon said: “It is obvious from the totally different construction material and colour of the Sphinx’s head that we believe it is not rock but some kind of man-made substance compared to its limestone and eroded body.
“The head and face of the Sphinx must have changed from their original form long after the monument was first carved. There is hardly any damage or erosion on its head compared to its body.”
However, Egyptian authorities say it is not possible to investigate the complaints because they say the chambers are blocked or filled with water.
Former Minister of State for Antiquities Zahi Hawass had previously said that there was nothing beneath the Sphinx.
Review: Top 10 Healthcare Services in the USA
The U.S. healthcare industry is a complex ecosystem of providers, insurers, and technology-driven services, delivering critical care to millions. In 2025, the sector is shaped by rising costs (projected at $4.9 trillion in 2023), technological innovation, and a focus on patient-centric care. Below is a detailed review of the top 10 healthcare services in the USA, based on market presence, patient outcomes, and industry impact.
1. HCA Healthcare
HCA Healthcare, based in Nashville, Tennessee, is the largest health system, operating 220 hospitals and over 40,000 staffed beds across 20 states. Known for comprehensive services, including emergency care, surgery, and specialty treatments, it generates significant net patient revenue. Its scale and advanced technology adoption ensure high-quality care, though accessibility varies by region.
2. Universal Health Services (UHS)
UHS manages 183 hospitals across 40 states, with over 21,000 beds, focusing on acute care and behavioral health. Its facilities in Texas, Florida, and California provide diverse services, from trauma care to psychiatric treatment. UHS’s emphasis on mental health integration aligns with 2025 trends, though high costs can be a barrier.
3. Encompass Health Corporation
With 164 hospitals, Encompass is the largest operator of rehabilitation hospitals, offering specialized post-acute care for stroke, brain injury, and spinal cord injury patients. Based in Birmingham, Alabama, it operates in 37 states, delivering measurable outcomes through therapy-focused programs. Its niche focus limits broader service scope.
4. CommonSpirit Health
A Catholic-affiliated system with 142 hospitals, CommonSpirit provides acute care, outpatient services, and telehealth across 21 states. It excels in community health programs and equitable access, serving underserved populations. Its integration of AI for diagnostics enhances efficiency, but merger-related challenges can affect consistency.
5. Ascension Health
Ascension operates 139 hospitals, focusing on primary care, oncology, and cardiology. With a mission-driven approach, it serves low-income communities through charity care programs. Its adoption of value-based care (VBC) models, projected to cover 90 million lives by 2027, improves outcomes but faces staffing shortages.
6. Kaiser Permanente
Kaiser Permanente is a leading integrated healthcare provider, combining insurance and care delivery for 12.5 million members. Its ACA marketplace plans are top-rated for affordability and quality, with low deductibles and strong preventive care. Operating in eight states, its HMO model ensures coordinated care but limits patient choice.
7. Aetna (CVS Health)
Aetna, under CVS Health, provides health insurance and healthcare services, covering 39 million lives. Its ACA plans offer competitive premiums and broad networks, with telehealth and pharmacy integration via CVS. Aetna’s focus on chronic disease management and AI-driven care navigation boosts outcomes, though rural access is limited.
8. Mayo Clinic
Mayo Clinic, based in Rochester, Minnesota, is renowned for specialized care in oncology, cardiology, and neurology. With 70,000 staff and three major campuses, it serves 1.3 million patients annually. Its research-driven approach and high patient satisfaction earn it top rankings, but costs and geographic reach are drawbacks.
9. Cleveland Clinic
Cleveland Clinic, with 23 hospitals, is a leader in cardiac care and medical innovation, serving patients across Ohio, Florida, and Nevada. Its adoption of cloud computing and AI for diagnostics enhances precision medicine. High costs and limited national presence restrict accessibility for some.
10. Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS)
BCBS, a federation of 34 independent companies, insures 115 million Americans, offering PPO, HMO, and EPO plans. Its ACA marketplace plans are widely available, with strong provider networks and wellness programs. BCBS’s focus on digital health tools and equitable access is notable, though premiums vary by state.
Choosing the Right Service
Selecting a healthcare service depends on location, medical needs, and budget. HCA and UHS offer broad hospital-based care, while Kaiser and Aetna excel in integrated insurance and delivery. Mayo and Cleveland Clinic are ideal for specialized treatments, and BCBS provides flexible insurance options. Compare costs (e.g., average ACA premium: $635/month), provider networks, and patient reviews on platforms like Healthgrades or U.S. News. With 26 million uninsured Americans and rising costs, prioritize services with telehealth, preventive care, and VBC to maximize value.
