An international team of scientists has announced the finding of possible underground structures large under the pyramids of Giza, in Egypt. It is a preliminary but promising discovery, which has been possible thanks to the use of latest generation radar technology. The researchers claim that they could have detected a vast network of tunnels or cameras that extend over almost two kilometers underground.
Radar technology and seismic analysis
Research, Posted on the multidisciplinary platform Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)has been led by Malanga Corradoof the University of Pisa (Italy), and Filippo Bíondiof the Strathclyde University (Scotland), as part of the Khafre Research Project. As explained, they used a combination of Synthetic Opening Radar (SAR) and natural seismic vibrations analysis to generate three -dimensional images of the subsoil. This technique allows to detect irregularities and structures without the need for excavation direct.
“The pioneering study has redefined the limits of satellite data analysis and archaeological exploration,” he said Nicole Ciccolospokesman for the team. Your statements, collected by the Jerusalem Postthey point out that these findings could deeply alter what is known about the sacred geography of ancient Egypt. According to Ciccolo, the new images reveal areas never before registered under the Giza complex.
A possible network of connected cameras
The radar used, combined with satellite data and seismic patterns, has allowed to create a detailed map of what is under the surface. Although scientists insist that it is still early to make definitive statements, The first images suggest the existence of large cameras connected to each other. “It could be some type of underground city,” they say cautiously.
Between prudence and enthusiasm
This type of research is not new in the area, where archaeologists have worked for decades trying to reveal the secrets that the pyramids still keep. However, conventional methods have their limits and excavation permits are very restricted. Sar technology now opens the door to new hypotheses, without endangering the integrity of the monuments.
The finding has caused reactions divided into the archaeological community. Some researchers celebrate the use of new tools to review what was believed to be known, while others ask for prudence before publicly validating a major theory. For the moment, There is no official confirmation by the Egyptian authorities on possible excavations in the area.
Pyramids continue to generate unknowns
The Gran Pyramid of Giza, one of the seven wonders of the ancient worldit has been subject to speculation for centuries. The possibility that there are large -scale underground structures reinforces theories about hidden functions of these monuments or the existence of more advanced architectural knowledge of what was thought.
For now, the team has shared its findings with other research centers for independent validation. He aim is Avoid erroneous interpretations or sensationalist readings before having an academic consensus. The complete results in specialized scientific journals are expected to be published in the coming months.
Other similar findings in the Egyptian subsoil
The finding announced this week adds to a series of previous discoveries that have aroused great scientific interest. In 2017the project Scanpyramids detected a great cavity of at least 30 meters within the Great Pyramid of Giza Through a non -invasive technique called muography, based on cosmic rays. Although it has not yet been physically explored, that emptiness is still considered one of the great enigmas of modern archeology.
Also in areas such as Saqqara or Abydosother investigations have identified underground structures using terrestrial penetration radar (GPR), which in some cases have turned out to be tombs or temples. Under the Sphinx of Giza, geophysic studies have detected anomalies that some interpret as cameras or tunnels, although the Egyptian authorities have not allowed excavations at that point and there is no official confirmation.
These precedents reinforce the importance of remote analysis technologies as key tools to explore without damaging heritage. In many cases, the structures found are maintained as a hypothesis waiting for excavations, but all suggest that the secrets of ancient Egypt could spread far beyond what is seen with the naked eye.
