For decades, theorists have been circulating that the pyramids are just the “tip of the iceberg.” Now, new scans using advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology — conducted by teams from the University of Pisa and the University of Strathclyde — may have identified unusual structures beneath the Pyramid of Khafre.

According to the researchers, the initial data points to possible underground formations, including what appear to be five multi-level structures, eight cylindrical shafts that would extend for about 648 meters, and two large cubic chambers beneath the Giza Plateau, estimated to be up to 2 kilometers long.

Although the results are still in the analysis phase and await confirmation by physical excavations, this information is reigniting long-standing debates.

Did the Great Pyramids have functions beyond burial? And if these structures do exist, what else could be hidden beneath the sands of Egypt?
