According to Italian researchers, the underground city claimed to be discovered beneath the Giza Pyramids may carry traces of a lost civilization that could rewrite history.

The underground chambers and tunnels claimed to have been discovered beneath the Giza pyramids in Egypt could overturn what is known about ancient civilizations. According to Daily Mail, Italian researchers claimed that the wells and chambers found deep within the Khafre pyramid, as well as the entire Giza complex, could be 38,000 years old. ALLEGEDLY OLDER BY TENS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS The Giza Complex, which houses the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, is generally accepted to have been constructed approximately 4,500 years ago. However, the Italian researchers suggest that these structures belong to a civilization that existed 38,000 years ago. The researchers claim that this civilization was wiped out due to an asteroid impact, leaving behind only the pyramid “megastructures.” WATER TRACES, SALT RESIDUES, AND UNDERGROUND STRUCTURES Alfredo Mei from the team notes the presence of water erosion marks on pyramid walls and heavy salt crusts inside. These findings suggest that the region may have been submerged under an ocean at one point. Additionally, shafts and room-like structures located at depths of 2,000 to 4,000 feet are considered to belong to an ancient hidden city underground. Researchers believe that these underground structures may be connected to the Ancient Egyptian legends of the Amenti City or the Hall of Records. Particularly, the physical data aligns with statements in the Book of the Dead about pyramids “closing the entry to the city,” making the claims even more intriguing. Archaeologists and radar specialists point out that such claims have not been published in scientific journals and the methods used have not been verified. Prof. Lawrence Conyers from the University of Denver mentions that it was not possible for humans to live in caves 38,000 years ago and such engineering was not feasible. QUESTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY Scientists argue that it was not possible to move and position massive granite blocks with primitive tools, hence the need for more substantial scientific explanations. Meanwhile, researchers plan to present further evidence of the existence of this unknown city based not only on ancient texts but also on physical findings.
