3 Remarkable Discoveries Made Beneath the Great Sphinx of Egypt
It is said that the Sphinx of Giza predates the Pyramids and hides beneath its body a subterranean world. Here are 3 discoveries made beneath the Sphinx.
Here’s a fascinating shot of the Great Sphinx from the late 1800s, with much of it still buried under the sand. It’s amazing to see the early excavation efforts up close. The archaeologists of the time were really digging deep—literally—to reveal one of Egypt's greatest treasures. Who would’ve thought so much of the Sphinx was hidden away under the desert?
I wanna share something with you guys… it’s an issue I’ve been having for years. And that’s one of the main reasons I decided to open this channel.
Most of you who don’t follow me (personally on Facebook) don’t know it. But this is a post I just put up. And it summarizes my issues with Facebook over the last few years.

As a Content Creator Who Reaches 100,000,000 People a Month on Facebook, What Do I Have to Do to Get Support?
As a content creator, writer, and journalist, I’ve been working on Facebook, creating content since around 2011, and over the years, the challenges have only grown.
I manage several pages, including my blog Curiosmos, where I write about topics that ignite my passion—history, archaeology, mythology, space, and UAPs. I also run Kozmos.hr, Croatia’s first online magazine dedicated to science and space exploration. On top of that, I founded The Ancient Library, a page I launched in 2015, which has grown to an incredible 1.9 million followers. I share history-related content there, and I even started a podcast under the same name. My first guest? None other than Dr. Zahi Hawass, a renowned Egyptian archaeologist and Egyptologist, best known for his discoveries in ancient Egypt and his role as the former Minister of Antiquities.
Over the years, I’ve traveled around the world, visiting and documenting historic sites, producing videos, and creating educational content.
However, one of the biggest frustrations has been how Facebook’s algorithm handles the content I share, particularly on Ancient Library. For instance, I reshared a post of a shooting competition from the Summer Olympics, originally posted on another page. That page didn’t get flagged, but I did. Why? I even reached out to the person who owns that page to ask if they had received a violation—nothing. Despite resharing, my page of 1.9 million followers was demonetized—pending an appeal that has NEVER been processed. Meanwhile, content related to Yusuf Dikeç, one of the most famous faces of Paris 2024 and a Turkish athlete who competed in shooting, remained untouched on other pages. It’s baffling and inconsistent.
On Kozmos, where I publish articles about dark matter, the universe, and space exploration, I often face flags for alleged spam or ‘graphic content.’ There’s nothing graphic or inappropriate in these articles. Some appeals go through successfully, and here’s the puzzling part—some posts written in the original Croatian language have even been reinstated. So why do some posts get reviewed and others don’t? It’s not logical at all. And if Facebook claims it can’t review content in Croatian, how does the algorithm even know what to flag in the first place, if it’s in a language it supposedly doesn’t comprehend?
I also experience issues on Curiosmos, where links I post are flagged as spam, with the explanation that I’m ‘soliciting likes, shares, or clicks.’ All I do is share links with brief descriptions of my articles to let readers decide if they want to engage with the content. I never solicit interaction. Yet, Facebook continues to flag my posts, and even worse, they keep warning me that if I ‘keep breaking the rules,’ they’ll add even more restrictions to my account. But I’m not breaking any rules, and yet the restrictions keep piling up.
Meta’s support system is another story. The front-line support agents I’ve spoken to genuinely try to help, but there’s only so much they can do. It’s not their fault—they are the front line of support, but they can’t do much if their higher-ranking colleagues don’t do their job. Regrettably, the real issue lies with the upper levels of Meta’s support, who are simply not addressing the problems.
Recently, I heard back from support again, and now they’re telling me that unless I verify my page (get the blue badge), they can’t help me. The issue is that I’m on the waiting list to verify.

So, despite spending tens of thousands of dollars to grow the page over the last nine years, I can’t get support because I need to spend more money? That’s the implication—without verification, no help.
A recent and particularly absurd example: I received a “connected entity violation,” which occurs when a Facebook page is linked to an entity (such as a company or business) that violates Facebook’s policies or terms of service. It can also occur if the entity associated with your page is flagged for suspicious activity or other violations. My pages are all linked to the same entity—my company. That’s really not the problem… However, I closed that company a year ago to expand and restructure. But despite countless attempts, Facebook won’t let me remove the entity tied to my pages, even though everything is in order.
I’ve submitted detailed support tickets, including screenshots and videos, requesting help to remove the outdated entity so I can update it. The result? A closed ticket and a response saying I can’t remove it. Why not? There’s literally a button in the Business Suite to delete an entity. It’s beyond frustrating.
At this point, I’m left wondering: what can content creators who reach over 100,000,000 people a month on Facebook do? Who do we have to contact to get actual support?
The people leading Meta need to pay more attention to the damage being caused to creators. Yes, it’s a massive platform, but that doesn’t mean this is a casual problem. It’s something that deserves urgent attention and a solution.
