Italian researchers have offered new claims suggesting a hidden metropolis beneath Egypt’s Giza pyramids, which, if confirmed, may dramatically alter our understanding of human historical past.
The group, led by Dr. Mei, lately reported findings of shafts and chambers deep underneath the Khafre pyramid, which they consider are 38,000 years outdated. In addition they suggest that the Giza complicated, historically believed to be constructed about 4,500 years in the past, was truly constructed by a pre-existing civilization round 12,000 years in the past. In line with their idea, this civilization was destroyed by a “divine flood” brought on by an asteroid impression, leaving solely the pyramids as remnants of a bigger “megastructure.”
One of many key items of proof cited by Mei is water erosion seen on stones close to the Nice Pyramid’s entrance. He suggests this means the pyramid was as soon as submerged in historical instances. Moreover, salt encrustations discovered contained in the Nice Pyramid assist the concept that ocean water flooded the Giza Plateau. Dr. Zahi Hawass, Egypt’s former Minister of Antiquities, dismissed these claims, attributing the erosion to pure weathering processes.
The group additionally speculated that the shafts and chambers could possibly be a part of a long-lost metropolis, referencing the invention of chamber-like constructions over 4,000 ft underground. This idea has but to bear peer overview, and the analysis strategies, together with seismic waves and radar, have been criticized by Hawass as unscientific.
Additional, the researchers consider that the Giza pyramids may predate Göbekli Tepe, the oldest identified man-made construction, suggesting the pyramids have been constructed tens of 1000’s of years sooner than beforehand thought. Regardless of skepticism from some specialists, together with Professor Lawrence Conyers, who considers these claims “outlandish,” the researchers argue that the development of the pyramids requires a extra believable rationalization than conventional theories.
