The giant structures allegedly found under the Great Pyramid, real or fake?

Remember the story earlier this year that a team of researchers used new technology to find these huge structures that went thousands of feet below the pyramids and could be 38,000 years old. They published a paper, had an official press conference, lots of scientific types ran with it like it could be true based on the data

I hadn’t heard an update in awhile so I did some Internet research and I’m now on the side that this story is embellished or completely fake. I read and listened to a bunch of stuff but here is a pretty good AI article that lays out the info and gives both sides Answersingenesis

Here is my short summary of why I no longer believe it

1. One of the primary researchers Corrado Malanga is a known conspiracy theorist who’s written about alien encounters, UFO abductions, and other sorts of things like that. He’s made bold claims before that were proven false.

2. While the technology they’ve used (SAR) is really cool, it’s only trustworthy up to a few inches or maybe 10 meters under perfect conditions, not thousands of feet.

3. Their published paper is not peer reviewed which for a scientific paper sends huge red flags

4. Some of their tomographic images don’t match known structures in the Great Pyramid.


Anyway, it was a cool possibility, but my opinion is now that it’s not a real story and rather an example of researchers looking to match data to what they want to be true instead of what is actually there.

I think we need it to be peer reviewed. Their initial findings are exciting but not conclusive at all. The issue is that Egypt has no interest in even entertaining the idea.

Essentially mainstream ancient Egypt Historians are claiming it is not possible. The new age researchers are saying it is possible. The new age researchers have been right multiple times over the Historians in regards to new discoveries in recent years.

We just need more research done and it won't happen because Egypt doesn't want it done.

Exactly. Egypt has no interest in researching the pyramids, which begs the questions... Why?

Don’t worry folks, I’ve read some stuff on the internets.

As a kid growing up there and still travel there for work, it would be incredible if this were true. When the museum was looted during the Arab Spring, that pissed me off more than anything (other than ISIS shooting at the Luxor ruins)

Sadly, it doesn't appear that it is. Why in the heck wouldn't they get it peer reviewed? As it stands, it's a "trust me bro" situation.

This is a good point, there was the thing with the underground catacombs that the traditionalists denied but has been proven to be true, people have even been in them!

If any of what these people are claiming is true it would be cool, and it’s possible. Some of their claims just seemed hard to believe at the time, and now with a lack of evidence beyond what they claim, it’s hard for me to buy it.

???? Do you not understand that inches and meters are two different measurements from two different systems or are you just unable to differentiate?

It has a useable range that falls between a few inches and 10 meters, you need me to send you a ruler to figure out what that means?

I mean it’s an AI article it’s not perfect but it lays out the basic information and gives some of the opinions for people who want a basic understanding of the research claim and the issues with it

I know exactly what it means. The way you phrased it made it seem like you thought a few inches was equivalent to 10 meters, not a range. It was a joke you psycho.

I know what the article is, it still gives information. There are dozens of other articles if you don’t like the one I posted

This would have been a great storyline for either Nick Cage (National Treasure) or Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones) in their respective roles.

I'll wait and see what Graham Hancock tells me about these structures and how feasible they are.

Ignoring the opinions on timeline, this quote pretty much sums up how the “discovery” of these structures should be viewed:

quote:

While the techniques the Khufu Scan team used are real in principle, their application, interpretation, and conclusions are highly questionable. The lack of measurable vibrations (weak, inconsistent energy source) or peer-reviewed validation and the reliance on AI to visualize structures, all adds up to serious skepticism in the scientific community—that all they are measuring and interpreting is “noise.”
