There are many mysteries surrounding the Pyramids of Giza, but could there be something even bigger lying underneath them? A team of Italian researchers recently shared an explosive report about the possibility of a vast city lying more than 4,000 feet below the surface, but their claims were quickly branded as “fake news”.
Corrado Malanga from Italy’s University of Pisa and Filippo Biondi from Scotland’s University of Strathclyde conducted an expedition known as the Khafre Project. They claimed to have used synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology to create high-resolution images deep into the ground beneath the pyramids, which reportedly led to some bombshell discoveries.
They claim there’s a vast underground city beneath Egypt’s Pyramids of Giza, including the five small room-like structures in the center of the pyramid. According to their report, these structures are connected to pathways that lead below the surface and are believed to expose hidden rooms and wells, along with spiral pathways leading down farther underground.
Dr. Zahi Hawass, Egypt’s foremost expert on the ancient world, was quick to dismiss these claims. He discussed the claims with The National and described them as “completely wrong”, adding that the techniques employed are neither “scientifically approved nor validated.”
