A Lost City Beneath the Pyramids?
In what could be one of the most controversial archaeological claims in recent years, Italian and Scottish researchers say they may have uncovered the legendary Halls of Amenti — a mysterious “underground city” beneath Egypt’s iconic Giza pyramids. The stunning announcement has ignited both excitement and skepticism across the global scientific community.
According to the New York Post, the team behind the discovery describes it as a “revolutionary study” that redefines the use of satellite data and non-invasive scanning technology in archaeology.
The Khafre Project and the Hidden Chambers
The project, named Khafre after the second-largest pyramid on the Giza Plateau, is led by Corrado Malanga from the University of Pisa and Filippo Biondi from the University of Strathclyde in Scotland. Using advanced synthetic aperture radar (SAR) from satellites orbiting 700 kilometers above Earth, the team claims to have identified five unknown structures within the Khafre Pyramid — some of which were previously misidentified as simple burial chambers.

One of these structures reportedly contains a sarcophagus that was once mistakenly thought to be the pharaoh’s tomb.
Eight Shafts, Spiral Paths, and a Forgotten Civilization
What truly sets this discovery apart, however, are the deeper anomalies: eight large vertical structures — believed to be shafts or wells — stretch more than 2,000 meters horizontally and descend some 600 meters underground. These vertical voids appear to be connected by spiral paths and tunnel-like corridors, forming what researchers have dubbed “a true underground city.”
The electromagnetic data collected was converted into phonon signals, revealing complex architecture far beneath the surface. A preliminary 3D model built from this data suggests a vast, organized infrastructure hidden from the world for over 4,500 years.
Skepticism and Scientific Pushback
Despite the bold claims, the project has faced intense scrutiny. The research has not yet been peer-reviewed or verified by independent archaeological bodies, leading some experts to question its credibility.
Dr. Lawrence Conyers, a radar expert from the University of Denver, called the claims “exaggerated,” citing technological limitations in achieving such deep and detailed imaging. He also noted that the area has long been considered sacred, even before the pyramids were built, suggesting that various underground features may predate the structures themselves.

Echoes of Ancient Mythology
Nevertheless, the researchers remain confident. Spokeswoman Nicole Ciccolo highlighted the intriguing parallels between the discovered layout and ancient Egyptian myths. “There is an extraordinary correlation between the layout and characteristics of these underground chambers and the legendary Halls of Amenti described in mythological texts,” she said.
Whether a groundbreaking find or an elaborate misinterpretation, the world now watches and waits for further analysis — and possibly excavation — to uncover the truth beneath the sands.
