A team of Italian and Scottish researchers has made a bold claim regarding a hidden underground complex beneath Egypt’s iconic Pyramids of Giza. Utilizing advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology, the team, led by Corrado Malanga of the University of Pisa and Filippo Biondi of the University of Strathclyde, suggests the presence of an extensive network stretching approximately 6,500 feet. Their findings reportedly include deep vertical shafts—some reaching an estimated depth of 2,100 feet—alongside spiral passageways and large cube-shaped chambers.
The researchers speculate that this vast subterranean structure could be significantly larger than the pyramids themselves and might even align with ancient myths, such as the legendary Halls of Amenti, a mystical underworld said to house great knowledge and power. The use of SAR technology, which employs satellite imaging and seismic data to generate 3D models of subsurface formations, has allowed them to examine these potential structures without excavation.
If verified, this discovery could challenge long-standing theories about the Giza Plateau, fueling discussions about the true purpose of the pyramids. Some enthusiasts suggest that rather than mere royal tombs, the pyramids may have served alternative functions, such as energy conductors or ceremonial sites. However, skepticism within the archaeological community remains high. Critics argue that SAR technology may not be precise enough to confirm structures of this magnitude at such depths, especially in dense limestone formations. Additionally, the study has yet to undergo peer review, leaving its conclusions unverified.
Despite the excitement this announcement has generated, Egypt’s authorities are unlikely to grant excavation permits without substantial evidence. Previous studies, such as the 2017 ScanPyramids project, have uncovered hidden voids within the Great Pyramid using muon imaging, but nothing on the scale of an underground city. Until further investigation is conducted, the secrets of Giza remain shrouded in mystery, awaiting definitive proof
