Cayce said there were connecting chambers in the Sphinx' right paw; there's some kind of void (found by Dobecki et al) under the Sphinx' left paw, which is on the right when one faces the Sphinx. Also, there's a "robber's hole" entered from the left rump of the Sphinx (again, on the right side when facing the Sphinx) which leads down a ways into the bedrock, then the robbers gave up; it also goes up into the body a ways, possibly up toward or even to the head of the figure.

Thanks for the added detail; my recollection was not nearly so specific.

Such hidden chambers and passageways would tend to support use of the word “moat,” going back to the original article, rather than just an aesthetic reflecting pool, as I had suggested.
