A new theory suggesting the existence of a massive underground network beneath Egypt’s Pyramids of Giza has sparked heated debate among archaeologists and experts. While some researchers argue that radar scans reveal an extensive hidden complex, others dismiss the claims as speculation.
A team of Italian scientists, led by Professor Corrado Malanga from the University of Pisa, claims to have identified deep shafts, tunnels, and possible water channels beneath the pyramids. According to their analysis of radar imaging, these structures could extend more than 2,000 feet (610 meters) underground. The researchers even suggest that the fabled Hall of Records—a legendary archive of ancient knowledge—may be concealed within this hidden world.
“This is unlike anything we’ve seen before,” Malanga stated at a press conference in Italy. “The scale and complexity suggest a vast underground system.”
However, many experts remain unconvinced. Professor Lawrence Conyers, a radar specialist from the University of Denver, argues that the scanning technology used—ground-penetrating radar from a satellite—cannot detect structures at such extreme depths. He called the conclusions “highly speculative,” though he acknowledged that smaller undiscovered chambers beneath the pyramids could still exist.
Egyptian archaeologist Dr. Zahi Hawass also dismissed the findings, stating, “There is no scientific basis for these claims. No credible evidence has been presented.” He emphasized that any legitimate discovery would require thorough excavation and verification by Egypt’s Ministry of Antiquities.
The study, conducted by Malanga and his colleagues Filippo Biondi and Armando Mei, focused primarily on the Khafre Pyramid, one of the three iconic pyramids at Giza. However, their research has not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal, leading many to question its credibility.
For centuries, the pyramids have been surrounded by mystery and speculation, with theories ranging from hidden tombs to lost civilizations. While the idea of a secret underground city is captivating, the lack of concrete evidence means it remains just that—a theory, awaiting further investigation.
