Egyptologist Hawass Debunks Claims of Hidden Chambers Under Giza Pyramids

Cairo, Egypt - June 4, 2025 - Renowned Egyptologist Zahi Hawass has dismissed recent claims of hidden chambers beneath the Giza pyramids as unfounded. Responding to assertions made by Joe Rogan and a team of Italian researchers, Dr. Hawass stated in an interview with Al Arabiya, "These are illusory discoveries. There is no scientific evidence to support the existence of these columns." Hawass's statement highlights the limitations of current subsurface imaging technology, which he says cannot reliably detect structures beyond 15 meters below ground level. This refutation contradicts the Italian research team's findings, which suggested the presence of large, previously unknown structures using radar technology. The controversy continues to fuel debate among archaeologists and the public alike, underscoring the enduring mystery surrounding the ancient wonders of Egypt. The ongoing investigation promises to reveal more insights into the construction and secrets of the pyramids.
