**Cairo, Egypt –** A team of scientists led by Filippo Biondi and Corrado Malanga have announced the discovery of a vast underground city beneath the Giza pyramids, claiming to have located the legendary Halls of Amenti using advanced radar technology. Their study, however, has been met with immediate and strong skepticism from leading Egyptologists.
The researchers claim to have identified eight vertical cylindrical structures extending over 2,100 feet below the surface, along with other unidentified structures at depths of 4,000 feet. They also report finding five small, room-like structures within the pyramid of Khafre, suggesting a misidentification of a sarcophagus as the pharaoh’s tomb. The findings, publicized through outlets like GB News and The New York Post, utilize Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology to create high-resolution images of the subsurface.
The team believes their work redefines the potential of satellite data analysis in archaeological exploration. They suggest these newly discovered structures are connected to existing underground corridors and chambers previously known to exist beneath the Giza complex, which includes the Great Pyramid, the Pyramid of Menkaure, and the Pyramid of Khafre, along with the Great Sphinx.
However, this sensational claim has been vehemently refuted by prominent figures in the field. Zahi Hawass, Egypt’s former minister of antiquities, dismissed the findings as “completely wrong” and “fake news,” citing the lack of supporting evidence from decades of research employing various established geophysical techniques. He specifically criticized the claim of using radar to penetrate the pyramid to such depths.
Professor Lawrence Conyers, a radar specialist, echoed Hawass’s skepticism, calling the claims a “huge exaggeration” and stating that the technology used could not produce such detailed images at the reported depths. While acknowledging the possibility of smaller subsurface structures, possibly ceremonial chambers predating the pyramids themselves, Professor Conyers emphasized the need for independent verification of the study’s results.
The study’s findings remain unverified and require further scrutiny by independent experts before being accepted by the wider archaeological community. The debate underscores the ongoing tension between groundbreaking claims and rigorous scientific validation in the field of archaeological discovery.
