Italian researchers have just dropped a bombshell about a second underground city beneath Egypt’s Pyramid of Menkaure at Giza, claiming it’s part of a sprawling subterranean network.
According to Daily Mail, this staggering find follows their earlier discovery under the Khafre Pyramid, pointing to a massive complex 2,000 feet below the surface that could link all three Giza pyramids—Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure—along with the enigmatic Great Sphinx.
Back in March, this Italian team first stunned the world with claims of vast structures beneath Khafre, complete with shafts, staircases, and chambers stretching thousands of feet down. Mainstream archaeologists scoffed, calling the findings baseless. Well, turns out persistence pays off, as they’ve now doubled down with similar discoveries under Menkaure.
Using ground-penetrating radar, the researchers detected shafts and pillars under Menkaure that mirror those beneath Khafre, with structures descending over 2,100 feet and possibly reaching 4,000 feet in a tuning fork pattern along the northern side. If confirmed, this could flip history on its head.
Team member Filippo Biondi boldly stated, “We firmly believe that the Giza structures are interconnected.” That’s a spicy claim, but when your data shows a 90 percent probability of matching pillars under both pyramids, it’s hard to dismiss outright.
Yet, not everyone’s buying it—Dr. Zahi Hawass bluntly called the tech’s capabilities “bulls***,” arguing radar can’t see thousands of feet down. Fair point, doc, but isn’t it worth a deeper look before we bury this theory?
The Italian team isn’t just challenging depth measurements; they’re proposing that these structures were built by a lost civilization 38,000 years old, dwarfing the mainstream 4,500-year timeline for the pyramids. Their theory hinges on a global cataclysm—possibly a comet impact around 12,800 years ago—that wiped out this advanced society.
Evidence like impact traces from Abu Hureyra in Syria and hieroglyphs from the Temple of Edfu, 780 miles south of Giza, are cited as backing for this flood-and-comet narrative. Researcher Andrew Collins ties Edfu texts to an “Underworld of the Soul” at Giza, hinting at hidden caves. Mainstream scholars, though, insist these inscriptions are symbolic, not literal.
Collins also points to the Gravettian peoples of Russia, who, 30,000 years ago, built aligned structures and wore tailored clothing, suggesting human history might be far older and more complex than we’ve been taught. Maybe it’s time to question the textbook timeline?
The structures under both pyramids feature pillar-like formations, with Khafre’s spanning over 2,000 feet in spiral-wrapped, cylindrical rows and Menkaure’s showing similar consistency, though possibly fewer in number. Biondi muses, “The operation of this structure likely involves natural elements.” That’s cryptic—care to elaborate, or are we just guessing now?
Critics remain unmoved, with Hawass and others noting the research isn’t peer-reviewed or published in any scientific journal. Still, global fascination persists—even Joe Rogan called it “fascinating.” When a podcast king weighs in, you know the story’s got legs.
The Italian team’s vision of a dense tunnel network linking these underground cities is either visionary or delusional, depending on who you ask. Biondi insists, “This network likely consists of a dense system of tunnels.” If true, we’re looking at an ancient infrastructure that makes modern subway systems look like child’s play.
What’s undeniable is the mystery of Giza itself—pyramids with unclear construction methods, precise astronomical alignments, and debated purposes have puzzled humanity for centuries. If there’s even a sliver of truth to these subterranean claims, it’s a wake-up call to rethink what we know.
Let’s not let progressive agendas or rigid academic gatekeeping stifle curiosity—history isn’t a settled debate, and discoveries like these remind us to keep digging, literally and figuratively.
The pyramids might just be the tip of an iceberg, as Biondi suggests, and dismissing that out of hand feels more like pride than science.
