Giza whizz! Megastructure discovered under Egyptian pyramids—time to rewrite the history books (again) (news).

Just when you thought it was safe to trust your old history teacher again, along came a startling revelation from beneath the sands of Giza. In a press conference held on 15 March 2025 in Castel San Pietro Terme, Italy, researchers Corrado Malanga, Armando Mei, and Filippo Biondi unveiled astonishing new data indicating the existence of a previously unknown megastructure stretching downwards nearly two miles beneath the Egyptian pyramids.

Utilising Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and advanced tomography—courtesy of publicly accessible satellite data from Capella Space and Umbra—the investigative team mapped subterranean features beneath the Khafre, Khufu, and Menkaure pyramids. Their findings suggested complex, artificial constructions lurking up to two kilometres below the plateau’s surface.

According to details shared at the event, the radar imaging exposed eight cylindrical vertical structures, each encircled by descending spiral pathways, merging at lower depths into enormous cubic chambers measuring approximately 80 metres on each side. The intriguing shapes bore striking similarity to the enigmatic Zed structures already identified within Khufu’s Pyramid above the King’s Chamber, hinting at some mysterious, possibly interconnected purpose.

The team further claimed to have discovered previously unknown internal spaces above the famed Belzoni’s chamber inside the Pyramid of Khafre, described as “intensely coloured spots” in their tomographic images—clear indicators of artificial structures previously hidden from view.

This discovery, involving extensive underground architecture of seemingly non-natural design, raised intriguing questions about our understanding of ancient Egyptian civilisation and engineering capabilities. With complex geometries and deliberate constructions lying at previously unimaginable depths, the historical narrative about the purpose, origin, and technology of the pyramid builders is primed for another dramatic revision.

Here at SFcrowsnest magazine, where rewriting history books is practically our favourite hobby, we’re more than intrigued—let’s just hope this doesn’t lead to another blockbuster featuring Brendan Fraser battling ancient curses. Again.
