-
- A team of Italian and Scottish scientists claims to have found a massive underground city beneath the Giza pyramids, potentially dating back 38,000 years, which would predate known human history by millennia.
- The researchers base their findings on interpretations of ancient Egyptian texts, such as the Book of the Dead and the Turin King List, suggesting a pre-existing civilization was destroyed by a cataclysmic event.

- The team used radar technology, including Doppler tomography and synthetic aperture radar (SAR), to generate high-resolution images of subsurface structures, identifying wells, chambers and potential pathways to the underground city.

- The claims have faced significant skepticism from the scientific community. Experts like Dr. Zahi Hawass and Professor Lawrence Conyers have criticized the methodology and questioned the feasibility of an underground city, citing the limitations of the technology used.

- If confirmed, this discovery could revolutionize our understanding of ancient civilizations, revealing advanced knowledge and capabilities far beyond what is currently accepted. It also raises questions about the historical and geological events that may have shaped human development.
A groundbreaking claim by a team of Italian and Scottish scientists has sent ripples through the archaeological community and beyond. Researchers from the University of Pisa and the University of Strathclyde have announced the discovery of a “vast underground city” beneath the Giza pyramids, which they believe predates the pyramids by tens of thousands of years. This extraordinary discovery, if confirmed, would rewrite the history of human civilization.
The team, led by Corrado Malanga and Filippo Biondi, presented their findings at a press conference in Italy last week. They assert that the underground structures, which include multi-thousand-foot tall wells and chambers, are approximately 38,000 years old. This age predates the oldest known man-made structures by tens of thousands of years, challenging the conventional understanding of human history and the development of complex civilizations.
The claim and its implications: Advanced civilizations of the past
The researchers base their claims on ancient Egyptian texts, including chapter 149 of the Book of the Dead and the Turin King List, which they interpret as historical records of a pre-existing civilization that was destroyed by a cataclysmic event. They suggest that this civilization had a sophisticated understanding of architecture and engineering, allowing them to construct vast underground structures.
Niccole Ciccolo, the project’s spokesperson, explained, “These ancient texts provide a whole series of references that a pre-existing civilization lived in the region before a cataclysmic event. We used these texts to guide our search and interpret the data we collected.”
The researchers used radar technology to generate high-resolution images of the subsurface structures. They claim to have identified eight descending wells, each about 33 to 39 feet in diameter, extending at least 2,130 feet below the surface. At the end of these wells are massive rectangular enclosures, each measuring approximately 260 feet per side, with four shafts extending downward.
Skepticism and criticism
Despite the team’s confidence, their claims have been met with skepticism from the scientific community. Dr. Zahi Hawass, Egypt’s former minister of antiquities, was quick to dismiss the findings as “completely wrong” and lacking scientific basis.
“Using radar inside the pyramid is false, and the techniques employed are neither scientifically approved nor validated,” Hawass told The National.
Professor Lawrence Conyers, a radar expert at the University of Denver, also expressed doubt about the claims. “That is a really outlandish idea,” he said. “People were mostly living in caves 38,000 years ago. People did not start living in what we now call cities until about 9,000 years ago.”
