A Child’s Strange Visions
Step into the quiet fields of Hopkinsville, Kentucky, where in 1877 a boy named Edgar Cayce began a life that would defy explanation. At six, he spoke of visions, conversing with departed relatives and unseen playmates. One night in 1889, a winged woman appeared, promising to grant his prayers.
This encounter marked the start of a remarkable journey. Cayce, later dubbed the Sleeping Prophet, would deliver over 14,000 psychic readings, diagnosing illnesses and glimpsing unseen worlds, leaving a legacy that haunts the curious to this day.
The Awakening of a Gift
In 1892, young Cayce struggled with spelling, frustrating his father. After a poor school report, he napped on his spelling book, guided by the winged woman’s voice. Upon waking, he recited every word and page number perfectly. This strange ability grew darker in 1900, when at 23, Cayce lost his voice for a year.
Under hypnosis, he diagnosed his own condition, prescribing a cure that restored his speech. This self-healing sparked a realization: in a trance, he could access medical knowledge beyond his waking mind, setting the stage for his eerie readings.
Healing the Impossible
Cayce’s trance readings became a phenomenon. In 1910, The New York Times called him an “illiterate man” who became a doctor when hypnotized, diagnosing patients he never met. His son Hugh Lynn, blinded in a 1910 darkroom explosion, faced eye removal until Cayce’s reading prescribed a compound that restored his sight in weeks.
In 1937, an 18-year-old woman’s scleroderma went into remission after his treatments. From Virginia Beach, where he settled in 1925, Cayce conducted up to ten readings daily, often for strangers, with uncanny accuracy.
Visions Beyond Medicine
Beyond healing, Cayce’s readings ventured into the cosmic. He spoke of Atlantis, claiming its ruins would rise near Bimini in 1968, a prediction tied to the discovery of the Bimini Road. He foresaw the 1929 Stock Market Crash, the fall of communism in 1991, and global turmoil, including the deaths of two U.S. presidents.
His visions of a Hall of Records hidden in Egypt, containing Atlantean secrets, remain undiscovered, fueling speculation. Cayce’s trance state, he claimed, tapped a universal consciousness, revealing truths of past lives and future cataclysms.
The Moon Dwellers
One of Cayce’s most chilling readings came for a woman, Mrs. 264 (a 42-year-old female homemaker who remained unnamed), who learned she once lived on the moon before Earth’s souls took physical form.
She recalled telling neighborhood children moon stories as a toddler, punished by her father for lying. Cayce’s readings suggested humans were star beings, shaping Earth’s history with alien origins.
The Atlantean Exodus
Cayce’s readings painted Atlantis as a civilization of immense power, destroyed by cataclysm around 10,500 BC. As their island sank into the Atlantic, survivors fled to Egypt, Yucatan, and Bimini, carrying their knowledge. In Egypt, they built a city near the Sahara’s edge, then a fertile plain, and constructed the Great Pyramid and Sphinx to preserve their legacy.
The Hall of Records, hidden beneath the Sphinx’s right paw, is said to have been designed to safeguard thirty-two tablets detailing Atlantean history, spiritual wisdom, and technologies like levitation and crystal energy, awaiting a time when humanity is ready.
The Sphinx as Guardian
Cayce called the Sphinx the “Mystery,” a sentinel guarding the Hall’s entrance near its right paw. His 1932 reading described a passage from this paw to the chamber, sealed during a ceremony with clanging metal, echoing ancient rituals. Some researchers, like John Bunker and Karen Pressler, propose the Sphinx referenced is a star constellation, with the Hall at the Great Pyramid’s apex, but most hold to the Giza location.
The Dream Stele, a tablet between the Sphinx’s paws, depicts a grid-like structure below, fueling speculation of a hidden chamber. If you haven't seen the Dream Stele then please do Google an image of it and prepare to have your mind blown.
Explorations and Dead Ends
In the 1970s, the Edgar Cayce Foundation and Stanford Research Institute probed Giza’s bedrock, finding cracks but no chamber. In 1991-1993, John Anthony West’s seismic surveys detected cavities 25 feet beneath the Sphinx’s paws, sparking excitement. Yet, Egyptian authorities, including Zahi Hawass, funded partly by Cayce’s A.R.E., restricted further digs, citing preservation.
A 1999 exploration of a water shaft found nothing, and mainstream Egyptologists like Mark Lehner dismissed the Hall as myth. Becasue of course they would. However... in 2025 recent sub-surface scans seem to suggest that there may indeed be huge structures below Giza.
A Chamber of Cosmic Knowledge
The Hall, described as pyramid-shaped, contains records in Atlantean and Egyptian writing systems, etched on stone or metal. Cayce’s visions suggested it holds not only Atlantis’s history but also insights into human origins, star-based calendars, and spiritual evolution.
One reading spoke of a TUAOI Stone, a power grid tied to Atlantean flying vehicles buried under the Sphinx, used to build the Great Pyramid. Another hinted at connections to Thoth, the Egyptian god of knowledge, linking the Hall to divine wisdom. These secrets, Cayce claimed, would transform humanity when unearthed.

Accusations and Shadows
Cayce’s life wasn’t without controversy. In 1922, he faced charges of fortune-telling, though acquitted, as some doubted his unorthodox methods. His readings on Atlantis and polygenism, suggesting separate racial origins, sparked debate, and he couldn’t save his infant son Milton in 1911.
Yet, his consistent remedies, like those for scleroderma and psoriasis, and accurate predictions, like the Soviet Union’s collapse, kept believers devoted. His Christian faith anchored his work, denying spiritualist labels, yet his cosmic visions unsettled traditionalists.
A Legacy That Haunts
Edgar Cayce’s 14,000 readings, preserved by the Association for Research and Enlightenment, continue to fascinate. From healing the incurable to predicting global shifts, his trance-induced insights challenge our understanding of reality. The winged woman, the moon dwellers, and the undiscovered Hall of Records weave a tapestry of eerie wonder. The Hall of Records remains elusive, yet its allure endures. Cayce’s readings, preserved by the A.R.E., inspire researchers and mystics, with X posts in 2025 buzzing about the new scans.
The Dream Stele’s grid, seismic anomalies, and tales of Atlantean flying vehicles keep the mystery alive. Is the Hall a cosmic library, guarded by the Sphinx, holding secrets of humanity’s star-born past? Or is it a visionary’s dream, woven from ancient myths? What truths lie buried beneath Giza’s eternal sands? Was Cayce a conduit to cosmic truths, a visionary ahead of his time, or a man caught in his own mysteries?
Well, as always, that is for you to decide.
