Researchers from Italy and Scotland claim to have discovered a vast underground city beneath the Giza pyramids, using radar technology.
The team, led by Corrado Malanga from Italy's University of Pisa and Filippo Biondi from Scotland's University of Strathclyde, identified significant structures, including massive pillar-like formations and chambers, potentially reshaping the understanding of Giza's sacred topography.
The alleged network stretches over 6,500 feet below the surface. A project spokesperson, Nicole Ciccolo, announced the findings on March 15, stating that the study redefines satellite data analysis and archaeological exploration. The researchers reported locating eight pillar-like formations beneath the Khafre Pyramid, cylindrical wells over 2,100 feet deep, surrounded by spiraling pathways connecting to two 80-meter cube-shaped chambers. The team suggests similar access points exist beneath all three pyramids, linked by underground chambers and passageways.
Structures even deeper, approximately 4,000 feet below, add to the mystery. Ciccolo proposed these spaces might align with the mythical "Halls of Amenti." Excavations are pending permission from Egyptian authorities. The findings await peer review.
