Experts Dismiss Viral Report Claiming Hidden City Beneath Egypt's Pyramids

Last Updated:
In ground-breaking research, a group of scientists earlier claimed to have discovered evidence of a second underground city beneath Egypt's Giza Plateau.
The history of the Pyramids, located in Egypt, still remains a mystery, notably for their construction. While the ancient Egyptians were in charge of building them, the exact methods, tools, and resources employed are still being researched and debated today. In a ground-breaking research, a group of scientists earlier claimed to have discovered evidence of a second underground city beneath Egypt's Giza Plateau, connecting the Khafre Pyramid to other surrounding sites. But now, top archaeologists have refuted the previous claims, calling it 'unscientific.'
As per a Daily Mail report, experts used Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) tomography to discover what they believe to be a huge subterranean complex connecting the Khafre, Khufu, and Menkaure pyramids, as well as the Great Sphinx.
Filippo Biondi, a radar expert at the University of Strathclyde, stated that these buildings are '90 per cent likely" to be connected. 'We firmly believe that the Giza structures are interconnected, reinforcing our view that the pyramids are merely the tip of the iceberg of a colossal underground infrastructural complex," Biondi earlier told CNN.
Also, the previous report claimed that the researchers had identified vertical shafts that went as far as 2,000 feet below the Khafre pyramid. According to them, the shafts could date back to a civilisation 38,000 years ago, considerably older than the pyramids, which were built around 4,500 years ago.
Egypt's pyramids are ancient masonry buildings designed primarily as tombs for pharaohs and their consorts during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods. Over 130 pyramids have been discovered in Egypt, with many of them part of larger complexes. The Great Pyramid of Giza, built for Pharaoh Khufu, is the largest and most famous and was once the tallest man-made structure in the world.

Scientists Recreate Face Of 10,500-Year-Old Woman Using DNA

Researchers at Ghent University have reconstructed the visage of a pale, dark-haired, blue-eyed prehistoric woman who lived 10,500 years ago in what is now Belgium. They produced an amazing image, depicting the face of a woman who lived and died in the Meuse River valley, using ancient DNA. In 1988, the remains of the Mesolithic woman were found in the Margaux cave, which is close to Dinant. She was a hunter-gatherer from Western Europe, the same group as the popular Cheddar Man from Great Britain. DNA studies showed the Margaux woman's eyes were blue, just like Cheddar Man's. She did, however, have a somewhat lighter complexion than the majority of other Mesolithic individuals in Western Europe examined so far. It is a minor but crucial detail, according to the project's lead geneticist, Dr. Maite Rivollat. The reconstruction of her face and living conditions was made possible by a mix of anatomical, genetic, and archaeological data. Ghent University archaeologist Isabelle De Groote told CNN that the 'Meuse Woman' was from the same ethnicity as the Cheddar Man, who lived in what is now the United Kingdom at the time, but had a lighter complexion. "We could also infer from the skull that she was between 35 and 60 years old," De Groote told CNN. The prehistoric Belgian woman also resembled Cheddar Man with a prominent nasal bridge. "She also has noticeable brow ridges, even though she's a woman," De Groote added. University archaeologist Philippe Crombe said that "quite good quality" DNA was extracted from the woman's skull so that "a very detailed reconstruction" could be made. While some of her features, like her jewellery and tattoos, are based on archaeological data gathered from previous digs in the River Meuse basin, helping researchers create a picture of the woman's daily life — her complexion, hair, and eyes are all based on ancient DNA. The creative team also used archaeological evidence, such as tools, shells, paints, and camp remnants. This made her world come to life, along with her face. Every detail was meticulously recreated, from hunting methods to transportation, from plants to animals. The remains of the 'Meuse Woman' were discovered in the Margaux cave in Dinant in 1988-1989, along with the remains of eight other women. This was "an unusual finding" because the majority of Mesolithic burial sites include a mix of men, women, and children. The reconstruction was carried out in cooperation with Dutch artists Kennis and Kennis and researchers from the ROAM project (a Regional Outlook on Ancient Migration), an interdisciplinary effort comprising archaeologists, bioanthropologists, geneticists, and artists.

World's first dual-frequency radar satellite NISAR to launch from India

World's first dual-frequency radar satellite Launch: In a landmark collaboration, NASA and ISRO are gearing up to launch the NISAR satellite. It is an ambitious $1.5 billion Earth-observation mission that could redefine how we track changes on our planet. The satellite is scheduled to launch this July from India's Satish Dhawan Space Centre. NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) is designed to monitor Earth's surface with unprecedented centimetre-level precision, day or night, rain or shine. Equipped with a massive 12-meter radar antenna and weighing nearly three tonnes, NISAR is built to deliver near-real-time data on critical challenges like agricultural trends, climate shifts, natural disasters, and environmental changes. Its insights are expected to benefit scientists, farmers, and disaster-response teams globally, making it one of the most anticipated Earth science missions in recent memory. Why Nasa and Isro teamed up for NISAR? Most Earth-observing satellites rely on sunlight to capture surface images, limiting their use to daylight hours and clear skies. This makes them less effective in cloudy regions, like the tropics, or during nighttime events. The NASA-ISRO partnership aims to bridge this gap. With NISAR's advanced radar system, the mission will provide continuous, all-weather imaging, delivering more accurate and timely insights into environmental conditions, natural calamities, and agricultural developments. At the core of NISAR is Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)—a technology originally developed for military reconnaissance in the 1950s. Unlike traditional optical sensors, SAR actively sends radar signals to the Earth's surface and captures the reflections. It functions like a camera flash in the dark, allowing it to 'see' through clouds, smoke, and dense vegetation, regardless of the time of day or weather conditions. Real-time tracking of natural disasters SAR has already shown its potential in monitoring floods, earthquakes, and landslides. NISAR will push this further by using dual-frequency radar and offering high-resolution images. It can detect even slight shifts in the Earth's crust, enabling emergency services to assess damage more quickly and respond more effectively during disasters. One of NISAR's unique strengths is its ability to penetrate thick vegetation. This allows researchers to study forest structures and wetlands in greater detail than ever before. It will help measure forest biomass and carbon content, as well as detect flooded vegetation, providing critical insights into ecosystems that store vast amounts of carbon and support biodiversity. Global impact of NISAR NISAR's high-resolution data will be freely available to researchers and institutions worldwide. It will revisit almost all land and ice surfaces every 12 days, offering more consistent and detailed observations than older missions like Sentinel-1. For the agricultural sector, this means better tracking of soil moisture, crop growth, and land-use patterns, helping farmers make smarter decisions about irrigation and resource use. NISAR's groundbreaking ability NISAR is the first satellite to carry dual-frequency radars and marks NASA and ISRO's first joint hardware venture for Earth observation. What makes it even more impactful is its open data policy, offering free access to high-resolution images and insights to scientists and agencies worldwide. With the ability to detect ground shifts of just a few millimetres, NISAR will aid in monitoring earthquakes, coastal erosion, groundwater changes, forest biomass, and dam safety, benefiting both climate research and disaster management. The satellite will also play a vital role in monitoring glacier movements and melting ice sheets, key indicators of rising sea levels. In coastal areas, NISAR can track shoreline erosion and even detect oil spills, providing valuable tools for environmental protection and emergency response. New era in Earth science NISAR took nearly ten years to develop, and now it is set to launch and add a new chapter in global earth observation. The merger of cutting-edge radar technology with global accessibility promises to equip scientists, policymakers, and communities with the data they need to better understand our planet. From climate resilience and food security to disaster preparedness, NISAR is poised to become a cornerstone of Earth science for years to come.

Mushroom on Mars? Blog post claims to spot a sign of life on red planet

A decade-old image from NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has resurfaced online, reigniting speculation about the possibility of life on the Red Planet. The photograph, originally taken on September 19, 2013, recently caught the attention of UFO enthusiast Scott Waring, who claims it features an object resembling a mushroom. Waring, a self-proclaimed UFO hunter known for his blog on extraterrestrial phenomena, said he discovered the unusual formation while reviewing archived Mars images on NASA's website. Highlighting a small protrusion near the centre-bottom of the image, he suggested it closely resembles a mushroom with a curved stem and wrinkled cap, similar to those found on Earth. His claims have since gone viral on social media, fuelling renewed debate over the existence of alien life. The image was captured by the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI), a camera attached to the rover's robotic arm that provides high-resolution images of Martian rocks and soil. In a blog post, Waring criticised NASA for allegedly ignoring the object. 'NASA should have poked it, bumped it, knocked it over, or cut it open using their onboard tools—or even used their laser to investigate,' he wrote. However, scientific experts have been quick to refute the claim. Dr Gareth Dorrian, a planetary scientist at the University of Birmingham, told the Daily Mail that the object is more likely a naturally occurring rock formation. According to him, what appears to be a mushroom is probably a disc-shaped rock that may have been exposed over time as wind eroded the surrounding sand and dust. While the object may not provide definitive evidence of life, the resurfaced image has revived public curiosity around one of space science's biggest unanswered questions: Is there—or was there ever—life on Mars? NASA's Curiosity rover, which has been operating on the Martian surface since 2012, has found promising clues over the years. It has detected organic molecules in Martian rocks and methane in the atmosphere, both considered potential indicators of microbial life. Yet, no conclusive evidence has emerged so far. With multiple international missions planned in the coming years, including Mars sample-return projects, scientists continue to explore the Red Planet's past and present habitability. The viral mushroom-like rock may not offer the answers, but it's a reminder of just how invested humanity remains in unlocking Mars' many mysteries.
