Archaeologists believe they have uncovered evidence of a massive underground city lying beneath Egypt’s famous Giza pyramids.
Researchers from Italy and Scotland used advanced radar technology to produce detailed images from deep below the surface, revealing possible hidden structures 10 times the size of the pyramids themselves.
The report highlights eight distinct vertical, cylinder-shaped formations stretching over 2,100 feet beneath the pyramids, along with a series of additional unidentified structures located another 4,000 feet further down.

However, some experts remain skeptical of the claim, insisting that such a feat would be structurally impossible.
Mail Online reported:
Professor Lawrence Conyers, a radar expert at the University of Denver who focuses on archaeology, told DailyMail.com that it is not possible for the technology to penetrate that deeply into the ground, making the idea of an underground city ‘a huge exaggeration.’
Professor Conyers said it is conceivable there are small structures, such as shafts and chambers, beneath the pyramids that existed before they were built because the site was ‘special to ancient people.’
He highlighted how ‘the Mayans and other people in ancient Mesoamerica often built pyramids on top of the entrances of caves or caverns that had ceremonial meaning to them.’
The work by Corrado Malanga, from Italy’s University of Pisa, and Filippo Biondi with the University of Strathclyde in Scotland has only been released during an in-person briefing in Italy this week and is yet to be published in a scientific journal, where it would need to be analyzed by independent experts.
Archaeologists have discovered huge, spiral-shaped cylindrical structures stretching over 600 meters (about 2,000 feet) straight down beneath the Great Pyramid of Giza.

The pyramids, located just outside Cairo, Egypt, were built during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom, around 2600–2500 BC.
The largest and most famous is the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops), originally standing at 481 feet, and considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Next to it are the Pyramid of Khafre, slightly smaller but appearing taller due to its elevated position, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the three.
The tombs were originally constructed as burial places for the pharaohs and a religious devotion to the afterlife.
Built using millions of limestone and granite blocks, their precise construction continues to fascinate historians and engineers while also attracting millions of tourists from around the world.
Nearby stands the Great Sphinx, a massive limestone statue believed to represent Khafre.
The Giza complex, therefore, remains one of the most iconic and enduring symbols of Ancient Egypt.
