Claims of 'Underground City' Beneath Giza Pyramid Face Intense Scrutiny

Researchers assert discovery of vast subterranean structures linked to Egyptian mythology, but experts question validity and call for further evidence.

• Italian and Scottish researchers claim to have discovered a 'vast underground city' beneath the Pyramid of Khafre using radar and satellite technology.
• The study identified eight vertical shafts extending over 6,500 feet across and 2,000 feet deep, along with five smaller room-like structures within the pyramid.
• The researchers suggest the findings may correlate with the mythical Halls of Amenti, sparking interest in potential ancient texts and artifacts.
• Experts, including Zahi Hawass, have dismissed the claims as scientifically unverified and technologically implausible, with no peer-reviewed evidence provided.
• The research team plans further analysis and potential excavation to substantiate their findings and address the skepticism from the archaeological community.
