Biondi runs a private radar firm, while associates like Corrado Malanga and Armando Mei have backgrounds in unrelated fields or promote pseudoscience (e.g., ufology or refuted theories like the Bosnian pyramids). No peer-reviewed publications in credible journals support the 2025 claims, and they seem to extrapolate from Biondi's earlier 2022 paper on internal pyramid structures, which doesn't mention vast underground shafts.

I love a good hoax! Not sure this’s one was rated “good”, but the effort is appreciated.

[Peter ODonnell]

But wait, they are on a mesa, right? There’s a steady 1.6 gigahertz noise too, I’ll bet the ranch on it.

It would be cool if it were true. Then I could speculate about the Nephilim, who ruled the Earth before the flood, ~8,000 b.c.

History’s “Ancient Aliens” will run a half season of episodes, on this stuff.

I knew they would try to cover it up!

Zahi Hawass is the self appointed guardian of the Giza plateau monuments. He is also accused of hiding and covering up major discoveries that contradict the 2,500 year old Egyptian narrative begun by Herodotus, as well as selling artifacts found in secret digs on the blackmarket. He is also accused of deliberately letting people, engaged in an unsanctioned dig, suffocate in a roof collapse.

The underground “structures” were found by very questionable methods, using techniques not designed to make the findings claimed. The claimed detailed imagery published are “artist concepts,” not real findings, which are impossible to interpret from the raw data in any meaningful way.

I’m pretty sure factcheck.afp is Fake Rubbish. Like Snopes.

[thepoodlebites]

Amun Ra, Hidden One, the god who stood against the God Most High in 1446 b.c. and failed, the cult of the Black Sun.

Zahi Hawass is the Joe Biden of Egyptology. Watching the hoaxers back in March was amusing, but nothing was gained by this canard from Zahi’s presence.

[Blogatron]

Of course! That’s where the casino was.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

At least 20% of the content on YouTube is about giant structures under the pyramids. Another 20% is how the pyramids had to be built by aliens.

[LastDayz]

So that’s where the Stargate’s been hidden.

The denials of underground chambers by “official” archaeologists may be correct. The problem everyone else has is that it is well established that official archaeologists are always denying discoveries or theories contrary to the “official” opinions. They have done it continually for so long they have professional and personal stakes AGAINST anyone or anything that contradicts them.

[FrankRizzo890]

Let’s be clear here. There are folks who believe that they know EVERYTHING about the Giza plateau, and any alternate theories are quackery. I’m not sure they’re right.

[fidelis]

I knew they would try to cover it up!

That may be so, but if it is, in fact, true about these supposed underground chambers, what would they gain by hiding this? Seems like they'd make a lot more from tourism, etc., if this was true.

Zahi Hawass is the Joe Biden of Egyptology.

Wrong. He’s the Manson/Bundy/Dalmer/Gacy of Egyptology.

“Scientists rubbish claims of ‘giant structures’ underneath Egyptian pyramids”

it’s not rubbish: i’ve seen the computer drawings of what such structures MIGHT look like, which is proof positive, right?

“At least 20% of the content on YouTube is about giant structures under the pyramids. Another 20% is how the pyramids had to be built by aliens.”

and the OTHER 60% is pure nonsense ...
