Archaeologists in Egypt have discovered the royal tomb of an unknown king...
The tomb was found within an ancient Egyptian necropolis in Abydos. The burial is located about 23 feet (7 meters) underground and contains a limestone burial chamber covered with mudbrick vaults, the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities wrote in a statement. The burial chamber was originally about 16 feet (5 m) high.
The king's reign dates to the "Second Intermediate Period" (circa 1640 to 1540 B.C.), when northern Egypt was ruled by a group called the Hyksos and the southern part of Egypt was controlled by multiple Egyptian kings...
The grave robbers sacked the tomb, and didn't leave any remains of the king's mummy or sarcophagus behind...
In February 2025, another group of archaeologists reported that they had found the tomb of Thutmose II to the west of the Valley of the Kings. Pharaoh Thutmose II was the half brother and husband of Hatshepsut. Queen Hatshepsut ascended the throne after Thutmose II's death about 3,500 years ago...
In addition to the newly discovered tomb, archaeologists uncovered the remains of a pottery and glass workshop at Banawit, a village located north of Abydos. The workshop dates to a time when the Roman Empire controlled Egypt (30 B.C to A.D. 642), the ministry said in the statement. It contains a large number of kilns along with extensive storage areas.
Within the workshop, archaeologists found 32 ostraca — writing on pottery shards — that discuss commercial transactions and how taxes were paid, the ministry reported. The ostraca were written in Greek and Demotic, an Egyptian script.
Between the seventh and 14th centuries A.D., the workshop was reused as a cemetery, and the remains of families were found within it.

The Giza Pyramid’s Origin Take An Unsuspecting Turn: Advanced scans in 2025 have uncovered an astonishing underground complex beneath the Khafre Pyramid. Researchers found 5 multi-level structures linked by pathways, 8 deep cylindrical wells plunging 648m, and 2 massive cubic chambers, spanning 2km under the Giza Plateau! This is completely fascinating. Could this be evidence of an even more advanced civilization that is responsible for the structures? It would be interesting to see if the other pyramid like structures in other parts of the globe had the same type of structures beneath them. Time will tell.

I don’t believe I have! Thanks!

Looks like the research was from 2022, not sure what March 2025 press conference he’s talking about.

Looks like this is flakery. The only references point to “The Reese Report” which apparently just made up some stuff. I found a four-way (host, and the two researchers, and some “emerald tablets” guy) and had Google translate the transcript bit by bit from Italian to English. Also found the two actual scientists’ web pages.
OTOH, here’s a nice summation of most of what’s known about the Khafre pyramid; my additional info is, the pyramid was reused in ancient times. A New Kingdom-era wood coffin with mummy was removed a couple hundred years back, and was aboard ship to England when it went down off Spain, possibly near Majorca. The discoverer of the Titanic has looked for the ship.

Oh, duh, I was about to go to bed when I realized, the reused Giza pyramid wasn’t Khafre, it was Menkaure, the third large pyramid. The mass of the Great Pyramid exceeds that of Khafre (Chephren) and Menkaure (Mycerinus) combined.

It seems your link refers to inside the structure, not to the beams that extend UNDER the earth,
Hi Jane, here’s the official announcement made on the discovery:
There was also a recent conference discussing it which is also shown on the same channel. The woman in the video is part of the project.
circle back for 6 min cremeans video
thanx jane & sunkenciv

Nope. These subterranean chambers they’re sort of claiming don’t appear to exist. The 2022 paper goes to some trouble to explain the limitations of the method. See the “Scanpyramids” keyword for the muon studies from within the Great Pyramid, and “jeanpierrehoudin” for the internal ramp model.

thanx for the color, sunkenciv
Obviously the 2022 article can be put to rest. It discusses inside not below.
International conferences have already convened in Italy discussing the legitimacy of this new finding.
My pleasure.
The two scientists in the video are the authors of that paper, and I checked, there’s been no subsequent work, so that paper is the only scientific one done on the topic. The rest of the “project” is just some cult behavior.
So, the results of SAR technology is only reliable if you agree on the project?
So, you’re making it personal? That figures.
Perhaps you should reread your posts. Jane was trying to be thoughtful, but instead of acknowledging it, the response was about rejecting it. Yet, the information you presented was not even the same.
The Hyksos came in as the Israelites were going out in the Exodus, at the end of the 13th dynasty.
My responses have been entirely based on facts, not on some loony conference featuring a half-assed journalist’s claims about “emerald tablets”.
