A wave of speculation has erupted in March 2025 after researchers claimed to discover beneath Egypt’s Giza pyramids using advanced radar technology. These findings clash with long-held views about pyramid construction, sparking debates between mainstream archaeologists and alternative theorists. Here’s what we know so far:

1.
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging reportedly detected a chamber inside the Pyramid of Khafre containing —similar to hieroglyphic symbols found in the Great Pyramid. Beneath the pyramid, spiral columns and cube-shaped formations were mapped, stretching .
2.
Eight vertical cylindrical wells (over 2,100 feet deep) connect to spiral pathways leading to (80 meters per side). Deeper layers reveal unknown structures 4,000 feet below the surface, described by researchers as a “vast underground city” .
3.
The Italian-Scottish research team, led by Corrado Malanga and Filippo Biondi, used SAR and Doppler tomography to create high-resolution 3D maps. They suggest these structures align with myths like the —a mythical Egyptian underworld .

Mainstream Egyptology maintains the pyramids were built around using simple tools and manual labor:
– : Copper chisels, dolerite hammers, and wooden sledges lubricated with water or mud .
– : Straight or zigzagging mud-brick ramps hauled stones (2–15 tons each) into place .
– : An estimated 20,000–30,000 workers, not slaves, completed projects in 20–30 years .
These methods are supported by carvings, quarry marks, and experimental reconstructions .

The underground structures have reignited claims that the pyramids had :
– : Some speculate they were , aligning with Nikola Tesla’s theories about harnessing Earth’s energy .
– : Spiraling columns and cube chambers are cited as potential evidence of advanced engineering .
– : The pyramids’ alignment to true north (within 0.05 degrees) and precise dimensions hint at deeper scientific knowledge .

Prominent Egyptologists like Dr. Zahi Hawass dismiss the radar findings as , criticizing the methods as unvalidated and unscientific. Mainstream researchers argue:
– No physical evidence supports energy-system claims.
– Small voids detected in past studies (e.g., the Big Void in the Great Pyramid) don’t match the scale of alleged underground networks .
– The radar technology cited (ambient vibration analysis) may not penetrate dense limestone effectively .

The Khafre Project team seeks permission from Egyptian authorities to excavate, but approvals are unlikely due to strict regulations on digs challenging official narratives . Until peer-reviewed studies confirm the findings, these claims remain speculative.
For now, the debate highlights a recurring tension: . Whether these structures rewrite history or fade as another overhyped theory depends on verifiable proof—something neither side has fully delivered.
