Shocking New Claim Beneath Egypt’s Giza Pyramid
Scientists in Italy have unveiled a controversial theory suggesting that Egypt’s Giza pyramid hides an underground city that predates known history. According to their findings, structures buried beneath the Khafre Pyramid may be over 38,000 years old — tens of thousands of years older than the pyramids themselves.
If accurate, this discovery would rewrite the timeline of human civilization. However, archaeologists and Egyptian authorities have widely dismissed the claims as unscientific and speculative.
Advanced Civilization Theory Sparks Controversy
The research team claims that radar scans revealed a complex of deep shafts, wells, and chambers stretching over 4,000 feet below the Khafre Pyramid. Using data from satellite radar and ancient texts, the researchers believe these subterranean structures belonged to a long-lost advanced civilization.
Citing Chapter 149 of the Book of the Dead and the Royal Canon of Turin, they interpret references to divine dwellings as evidence of a forgotten people who lived before dynastic Egypt.
But experts remain unconvinced. “It’s a really outlandish idea,” said Professor Lawrence Conyers, an archaeology radar specialist at the University of Denver. “People were living in caves 38,000 years ago — not cities.”
Egypt’s Authorities Push Back
Dr. Zahi Hawass, Egypt’s former Minister of Antiquities, called the study “completely wrong” and said it lacks any scientific credibility. He also questioned the radar technology used in the study, claiming it’s not capable of penetrating so deeply into the earth.
The researchers — Corrado Malanga of the University of Pisa, Filippo Biondi of the University of Strathclyde, and Egyptologist Armando Mei — have yet to publish their findings in a peer-reviewed journal. Instead, they’ve held two press conferences in Italy, drawing criticism for bypassing standard scientific procedures.
What Radar Revealed Below Egypt’s Giza Pyramid
According to the team, high-resolution pseudo-tomographic imaging revealed eight massive descending wells, each over 30 feet in diameter and extending more than 2,000 feet below ground. Spiral staircases appear to wrap around the wells, leading to chambers estimated at 260 feet wide.
They also claimed to detect a water system and hidden passageways beneath the pyramid’s foundation, suggesting the possibility of even deeper, unexplored structures.
Ciccolo, one of the lead researchers, said: “When we magnify the images, we will reveal what can only be described as a true underground city.”
Still, radar experts like Conyers argue the depth claimed is beyond the range of any current imaging technology. “That’s a huge exaggeration,” he said.
Egypt’s Giza Pyramid Still Holds Secrets
While critics doubt the existence of a vast underground city beneath Egypt’s Giza pyramid, some believe small structures may still lie hidden. Similar to ancient Mesoamerican cultures, early Egyptians may have built monuments atop natural caverns or ceremonial sites.
However, without peer-reviewed studies or on-site verification, most of the global scientific community remains skeptical. Dr. Hawass emphasized that legitimate research requires rigorous validation, which this study lacks.
The researchers, however, insist their data is objective and scientifically sound. “Our images were created using advanced Doppler tomography, capable of detecting vertical shafts and structural anomalies underground,” said Ciccolo.
Whether this controversial theory will prompt further exploration beneath Egypt’s Giza pyramid remains to be seen. For now, the underground city remains more legend than confirmed reality.
