The mysterious tunnel system discovered under the pyramids of Gizeh!

Gizeh, Ägypten - On May 11, 2025, an interdisciplinary team of researchers from Italy made a sensational discovery under the Giza plateau in Egypt. The scientists Filippo Biondi, Corrado Malanga and Armando Mei merged to research an extensive network of tunnels, chambers and shafts with advanced radar imaging technology, which extends almost two kilometers below the pyramids. This technology, known as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), uses weak signals that arise from cavities to map the underground network. The first results are promising and could revolutionize the understanding of the ancient Egyptian engineering art. [Compact-Online] reports that the artificial intelligence used analyzed the data collected and generated images of structural geometry under the Cheops pyramid.

The main discovery includes five identical chambers, which are connected by the right corridors, as well as two large cubic cavities, each with around 80 meters in size. In addition, the analysis opened eight cylindrical vertical shafts that are arranged in two parallel rows and differ from each other by spiral paths. These structures indicate a conscious design that could question the traditional view of the pyramids and their use. The SAR technology used is supported by the Cosmo-Skymed satellites that provide high-resolution images of the pyramids from the orbit. [ReadMultiplex] emphasizes that the world of science has become aware of these revelations, whereby the reactions are commented on both in the form of skepticism of traditional Egyptologists and the support of alternative researchers.

The dimension of discoveries

These underground structures are not only a remarkable archaeological sensation, but also one of the greatest of their kind that have been discovered in modern history. The greatest depth of the shafts reaches an impressive 648 meters, which is previously unknown in ancient Egyptian architecture. Scientists suspect that these structures could possibly be connected to secret burial chambers or ritual corridors that fulfilled important religious functions. Alternatively, it could also be an ancient water system or even an unknown underground city. [our nature] reports that this discovery could change theories about the use and construction of the pyramids.

The age determination of the Cheops pyramid remains an unresolved puzzle because the conventional C14 test is not applicable to stone. The age of around 4,500 years is based on early traditions and is affected with uncertainties, which are reinforced by the lack of hieroglyphs or other characters. The work of Richard Vyse, which penetrated the interior of the pyramid in 1837 and found a name that was interpreted as an elaborate sign of Cheops, are controversial. Skeptics criticize the authenticity of this inscription and the methodological approaches used to determine age. [Compact-Online] concludes that the research community must continue to deal with these questions, while at the same time working on the exciting possibility of the new discoveries among the pyramids.

The researchers plan further examinations in order to analyze the structure extensively and to learn more about their age and purpose. However, the challenges when accessing the deepest shafts are considerable and require special technologies. The coming months could be crucial for exploring the potential of these fascinating discoveries and their importance for the history of Egyptian civilization.
