Hall of Records is a mythical library buried somewhere in Egypt. One suggestion has been that it is under the Great Sphinx of Giza, which is in the Giza pyramid complex.〔(Is There a Chamber Beneath the Sphinx? ) catchpenny.org.〕 It is rumoured to house the knowledge of the Egyptians by papyrus scrolls and history of the lost continent of Atlantis, much as the Great Library of Alexandria housed Grecian knowledge. There is little evidence to indicate that the Hall actually exists; however, some scientists (such as Robert Schoch with Dr. Thomas L. Dobecki) have used ground-penetrating radar and it has shown there are in fact cavities underneath the Great Sphinx. 〔http://www.robertschoch.com/geodatasphinx.html〕 ==Description== The mythology of the Hall of Records is a popular one among those who hold alternative theories of Ancient Egypt. The phrase "Hall of Records" originated with Edgar Cayce although Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince suggest that the idea of the existence of lost Egyptian records "has a long pedigree". Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval, in "Message of the Sphinx" stated that American archaeologists and the Egyptian government had blocked investigations around the Sphinx, including attempts to locate any underground cavities.〔Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval, The Message of the Sphinx. Three Rivers Press; 1 edition (May 27, 1997). page 59, 71. ISBN 0-517-88852-1〕 Bauval later wrote ''Secret Chamber'' in 1999. According to Bauval's research, Egyptian authorities granted an American team a license to search for the Hall of Records under the Sphinx. It has been postulated that there may be three passages around the Sphinx; two with unknown origin and one is supposedly a small dead-end shaft behind the head of nineteenth-century origins. Also, little holes in the body of the Sphinx may be related to its construction, but this is unknown. Various alternate theories on the origin of the Hall have been proposed, including that the Hall was not the work of Ancient Egyptians at all but another society (this has ranged from advanced prehistoric societies to a superior race of intelligent beings). Accordingly, this society sealed the Hall away with scrolls of their accumulated knowledge at about 10,500 BC—the last period of time when the constellation of Leo was located between the Sphinx's paws when it rose in the night sky. Some individuals have compared such notions to the supposed inhabitants of Atlantis in Hellenic myth. The study of and the search for the Hall is considered by many academics, to be pseudo-archaeology, who make clear distinctions between precise methodological scientific hypothesis and the rest of possible subsequent implications and speculations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hall of Records」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
