Origins Explained put up "They Found Something Beneath the Pyramids That Shouldn't Be There" on October 5. Nearly 40,000 views in a day. The narration walks the Halls of Amenti, a lost-civilization pitch, and a radar picture Zahi Hawass already called fake news. Joe Rogan has been running the older half of this argument for years. The file sits with the rest of the plateau fights on the Whatfinger News mysteries page.

 It opens on the tomb reading. The Song of the Harper, around 2100 BC, uses a word that covers both tomb and pyramid. The Pyramid Texts have the dead king climbing a slope of light. Then it undercuts the hand-me-down theory. Abydos graves radiocarbon-dated to about 5316 BC. Pit burials, then mastabas, then stone. Gradual. No vanished high culture handing the plateau over in that section.

At the 12-minute mark it switches. Corrado Malanga and Filippo Biondi, satellite radar from hundreds of miles up, five chamber-like structures at Khafre, passageways, eight vertical shafts. The narration puts them over 6,500 feet across and 2,000 feet down, and ties the picture to the Halls of Amenti, the Thoth legend with no dig record. Hawass is on the tape calling it fake news. Unverified method. No peer review. No permit.

The lost-tech chapter is the standard stack. True north within about a fifteenth of a degree. Roughly two million blocks, some near 80 tons. Quarry marks that look like saws and drills. Graham Hancock's Sphinx-as-lion in the Age of Leo, about 10,500 BC. Robert Bauval's Orion belt match, same century, blamed on the wobble of the axis. The close is a hidden space the clip dates to 2024, about 100 feet, above the Queen's Chamber, confirmed by the antiquities ministry. That last one is a mix-up. The filmed passage is the ScanPyramids North Face Corridor, about 9 meters, published in Nature Communications in March 2023. The Big Void, at least 30 meters long above the Grand Gallery, was announced in 2017 and still has not been entered.

The city under Khafre

The scan the video is selling comes from a March 2025 press conference in Bologna, hosted by Nicole Ciccolo. Malanga is a retired chemist from Pisa. Biondi is an electrical engineer. Armando Mei is an independent researcher. They said a method they call synthetic aperture radar Doppler tomography showed five structures near Khafre's base, eight cylindrical shafts about 648 meters down, spiral paths, and cube-shaped chambers on the order of 80 to 90 meters. Some tellings pushed the depth to two kilometers. They skipped a journal and went straight to a microphone.

Hawass, March 23, 2025: no scientific basis, and the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities had not authorized work inside or around Khafre. Sarah Parcak, who uses satellite imagery on Egyptian sites, said SAR cannot see through rock. Lawrence Conyers, a ground-penetrating radar specialist at the University of Denver, called a vast underground city a huge exaggeration. Snopes rated the viral version false, and a popular cross-section making the rounds scored as AI-generated.
