A bold new claim that a vast underground city lies beneath the Pyramids of Giza has sparked intense debate among archaeologists and historians. While some researchers insist radar scans reveal hidden structures beneath the iconic monuments, skeptics argue that the evidence is speculative and lacks scientific credibility.
A team of Italian researchers, led by Professor Corrado Malanga from the University of Pisa, claims that satellite radar imaging has detected an intricate network of tunnels, shafts, and chambers beneath the pyramids. According to their findings, some of these underground features stretch over 2,000 feet (610 meters) below the surface. The team suggests this could be the legendary Hall of Records—an ancient repository of lost knowledge believed to have been buried beneath Giza.
“We believe we are looking at a massive underground complex that has remained undiscovered for thousands of years,” Malanga said at a recent press conference. 
However, many experts are unconvinced. Professor Lawrence Conyers, a specialist in ground-penetrating radar at the University of Denver, dismissed the findings as exaggerated. He explained that the radar technology used in the study is incapable of detecting structures at such extreme depths. While he acknowledged that smaller hidden chambers beneath the pyramids are possible, he warned against making “sensational claims without proper verification.”
Egyptian archaeologist Dr. Zahi Hawass was even more critical, calling the research “completely unfounded.” He insisted that there is no archaeological evidence supporting the existence of an underground city beneath Giza and urged caution against spreading misleading theories.
The study, conducted by Malanga along with researchers Filippo Biondi and Armando Mei, focused on the Khafre Pyramid—one of the three main pyramids at Giza. However, their findings have not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal, further fueling skepticism.
For centuries, the Pyramids of Giza have been surrounded by mystery, with theories ranging from hidden tombs to lost civilizations. While the idea of a buried city beneath the pyramids is fascinating, experts agree that only further research and excavation will determine the truth behind these claims. Until then, the debate over what lies beneath Egypt’s most famous landmarks rages on.
