Underground city discovery at Giza sparks expert debate
Scientists from the University of Pisa and the University of Strathclyde claim to have discovered an underground city beneath the Giza complex. However, Egyptologists are skeptical about the research and question its credibility.
Online, a plethora of theories, varying in credibility, about the Egyptian pyramids can be found. Recently, scientists from the University of Pisa and the University of Strathclyde announced the discovery of an underground city below the pyramids in Giza. They claim to have identified five interconnected structures beneath the buildings, using advanced technology and radar scans. The discovery, part of the Khafre project, has sparked a heated debate among experts.
Egyptologists skeptical of the discovery
Dr. Zahi Hawass, former Minister of Antiquities of Egypt, firmly rejects these claims, calling them completely incorrect. According to "The National," Egyptologists emphasize the lack of evidence for the existence of such structures. Nonetheless, researchers Corrado Malanga and Filippo Biondi intend to continue their work, although the Egyptian government will probably not grant them permission for further research.
According to "The New York Post," the scientists have analyzed vibrations and seismic waves to detect micro-movements, which could affect 3D tomography. However, experts doubt whether these methods could penetrate the massive stones of the pyramids. Graphics presented by "The New York Post" depict a structure about 6,500 feet long, with eight large shafts and spiral paths, raising some doubts.
A new perspective on the pyramids
Scientists suggest that the pyramids in Giza may have functioned as a giant resonance chamber filled with water for healing and religious purposes. While theories about the existence of underground chambers in Giza have been circulating for a long time, Egyptologists have yet to find evidence supporting these claims. They advise caution regarding new discoveries. Research concerning the structures beneath the pyramids has been recently published but has not been peer-reviewed.
