A new theory suggesting the existence of a vast underground city beneath the Pyramids of Giza has gone viral, with podcaster Joe Rogan weighing in on the “mind-blowing” possibility. Italian and Scottish scientists claim they’ve identified an elaborate subterranean network extending 6,500 feet below the iconic monuments, potentially redefining our understanding of ancient Egypt.
The study—led by Corrado Malanga and Filippo Biondi—relied on advanced radar pulse technology to create 3D images below the earth’s surface, revealing vertical cylindrical structures and vast chambers. Though the findings have not yet been peer-reviewed, the researchers described it as a “groundbreaking study” that could offer insight into a “pre-flood civilization.”
Joe Rogan addressed the discovery on his podcast, stating, “This is insane. It’s quite stunning. They don’t understand what it is, but it’s a uniform structure. There are several pillars and all of this is very very very weird.”
He added, “Christopher Dunne believes that the Pyramid of Giza is a big power plant... He thinks it coincides with the ability to produce hydrogen, to utilise the rays of space and to generate electricity through this.”
Critics, including Professor Lawrence Conyers of the University of Denver, have urged caution. He told DailyMail.com that “the idea of an underground city” was “a huge exaggeration,” stating the radar tech used is unlikely to detect structures at such depths. Still, he noted that ancient civilizations often built on sacred sites, adding, “We can quibble about interpretations, and that is called science.”
Despite skepticism, public interest has surged. “It’s nothing short of mind-blowing,” said researcher Jay Anderson. “With this discovery, I think it’s impossible to say that the Egyptians we’ve been taught about built these structures.”
With the full presentation of the findings expected on March 25 and further research planned into 2025, the debate continues to gain traction online. Spokesperson Nicole Ciccolo stated, “A vast underground city has been discovered beneath the pyramids… these new archaeological findings could redefine our understanding of the sacred topography of ancient Egypt.”
