SAR Scans of Giza Pyramids with David Masters
Italian and Scottish scientists have announced what could be a groundbreaking discovery beneath the Pyramids of Giza, potentially challenging long-held views on ancient Egyptian history. Using advanced radar technology, a team led by Corrado Malanga of Italy’s University of Pisa and Filippo Biondi of Scotland’s University of Strathclyde revealed what they describe as a vast subterranean city spanning over 6,500 feet beneath the pyramids.
“This pioneering research has pushed the limits of satellite data interpretation and archaeological investigation,” said project spokesperson Nicole Ciccolo, as reported by The Sun. She added that the find “may fundamentally alter our perception of ancient Egypt’s sacred landscape by identifying spatial markers for previously unknown underground structures.”
The team employed a cutting-edge method called Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), which merges satellite radar imaging with subtle seismic vibrations from natural earth movements. This approach enabled the creation of highly detailed 3D models of what lies beneath the surface, much like sonar mapping of the seafloor.
The findings await peer review, so this remains a highly speculative claim.
Agree or disagree with what these scientists have claimed, this was big news for a lot of people interested in ancient Egypt, so we wanted to cover the news and break down what has been said and what happens from here.
