Buried Secrets in Egypt: Is There an Hidden City Beneath Pyramid?
The recent allegations regarding an undiscovered city in Egypt which resides under the Giza pyramids have sparked conversations both in the world of archaeology and the public sphere. Researchers from Italy and Scotland claim that sophisticated radar imaging has revealed sophisticated piping systems underneath the surface claiming there might be a hidden city beneath pyramid. Nonetheless, these claims are in controversy with some established experts.
The Alleged Discovery
A team comprising Professor Malan Corradoga of the University of Pisa and Filippo Biondi of the University of Strathclyde conducted a study known as the Khafre Project. They claim to have detected five small, room-like structures within the Pyramid of Khafre using SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar). One of these structures allegedly contains a sarcophagus that had been misidentified as the Pharaoh’s tomb. Moreover, they also found eight vertical cylinder-shaped artifacts extending over 2,100 feet below the pyramids, accompanied by numerous other unidentified structures at approximately 4,000 feet deep.
The Halls of Amenti Connection
The researchers connect their findings to the Halls of Amenti which is believed to be ancient and mythical underground land containing the Hall of Records. This hall is said to have kept wisdom of the worlds past and the civilization that inhabited it. The team proposes that these new found structures could indeed be associated with that legend.
Other Unsolved Mysteries of the Giza Pyramids
For many years now, the Giza Plateau is still unexplained. A few questions which are unsolved continue to stump global scholars.
Hidden Chambers: In 2017 scientists came across a massive void in the interior structure of The Great Pyramid using cosmic-ray imaging. What this space is meant for remains a mystery.
Astronomical Alignment: The pyramids are grouped almost precisely with the stars in Orion’s Belt which gives questions on the advanced knowledge of Astronomy by the builders.
The Construction Techniques: There is no clear consensus among Arithmetic experts on how ancients had such advanced skillset of placing such massive stones with modern technology.
The Sphinx Connection: Some theorists claim that the Great Sphinx statue could possibly conceal some secrets under her paws which include mysterious tunnels leading to secret underground chambers.
If the newly discovered structures are confirmed, they may illuminate across these endless enigmas.
Skepticism from Experts
Amid the thrill, a few archaeologists remain skeptical of the claims. Zahi Hawass, the former Minister of Antiquities of Egypt, denies the claims as “totally inaccurate” and labels them as “fake news.” He insists that the methods applied are of no scientific merit and that use of gravimetry, muon tomography, and other decades-long research efforts have not discovered such structures.
Technological Limitations
Specialists also discuss the constraints of the technologies employed. A radar expert, Professor Lawrence Conyers, refers to the conclusions drawn from this work as “A significant Overreach.” He notes that current radar equipment cannot yield pictures of formations that are meters beneath the surface, bringing into question the accuracy of the discoveries claimed.
Conclusion
The idea of a lost city beneath the pyramids of Egypt has garnered much attention and debate. Despite advanced radar capabilities presenting exciting new opportunities, several dissociating expert opinions, the unsettled lack of agreement, the constraints of existing knowledge, and the lack of convincing evidence highlights the need for more investigation. The ongoing debate suggests that the question of what Giza pyramids conceal under them stays unanswered.
