Overview

  • Scientists from the Khafre Project claim to have identified underground chambers, wells, and pathways beneath the Pyramid of Khafre using radar and satellite technology.
  • The researchers suggest these structures could be linked to the mythical 'Halls of Amenti,' a concept rooted in Egyptian lore, though no physical evidence has been verified.
  • Experts, including Egyptologist Zahi Hawass and radar specialist Lawrence Conyers, have refuted the findings, citing technological limitations and lack of peer-reviewed evidence.
  • The Egyptian government has dismissed the claims and is unlikely to permit further investigations due to the unscientific nature of the methods used.
  • The controversy has reignited public interest in the Giza pyramids but left mainstream archaeology unconvinced of any groundbreaking discoveries.
