A row over what really lies under the Pyramids of Giza exploded, after one of the old history experts of Egypt made statements that there was an 'underground city' among them 'fake news'.
A team of Italian researchers claimed that they have discovered gigantic vertical shafts wrapped in 'spiral stairs' and a huge limestone platform that contains two huge rooms with falling channels that resemble piping pipes.
During a newsletter released last week, the researchers said that a water system was identified under the platform, located more than 2,100 feet under the Khafre pyramid, with underground paths that led even deeper into the earth.
The team Used radar pulses to make high -resolution images deep in the ground under the structures, in the same way as Sonarradar is used to map the depths of the ocean.
But the claims were hardly rejected by Dr. Dr. Zahi Hawass, the most important expert of Egypt in the old world, who told the National that they were 'completely wrong' and had no scientific basis.
He said, “The claim of the use of radar in the pyramid is incorrect and the techniques used are neither scientifically approved nor validated.”
The Italian team believes that there is 'a very hidden world of many structures' more than 2,000 feet below the water system
'When we increase the images [in the future]We will reveal that it is underneath what can only be described as a real underground city, “said Corrado Malanga from the Italian University of Pisa in a statement translated into English.

The work of the scientists, not assessed by independent researchers, has also suggested that 'the Pyramid of Khafre can hide undiscovered secrets, in particular the legendary Hall of Records. '
The Hall of Records is a legendary concept that is often linked to the ancient Egyptian tradition. It is believed that it is a hidden room under the large pyramid or the sphinx, with huge amounts of lost wisdom and knowledge about the old civilization.
Hawass was supported by Professor Lawrence Conyers, a radar expert at the University of Denver who focuses on archeology, who told Dailymail.com that it is not possible that the technology that penetrates deep into the ground, making the idea an underground city 'an enormous exaggeration'.
However, he suggested that the conceivable small structures, such as shafts and rooms, can exist among the pyramids that were there before the pyramids were built, because the site was' special for old people
He emphasized how “the Maya and other peoples in old Meso -America often built pyramids on top of the entrances to caves or caves that had ceremonial significance for them.”
The work of Malanga, Filippo Biondi of the University of Strathclyde in Scotland, and Egyptologist Armando Mei were previously only discussed in a personal briefing in Italy.
The spokesperson for the project, Nicole Ciccolo, shared a new video of those who discussed the research that still needs to be published in a scientific journal, where they must be analyzed by independent experts.
The team focused on the Khafre -Piramide, one of the three pyramids of the Giza complex. The other two are Khufu and Menkaure.
The team claimed that they discovered eight cylindrical structures under the Khafre, which travel more than 2,100 feet under the base of the pyramid. They identified spiral structures on the sides of the shafts
Displayed is a scan of the shafts under the pyramid. The vertical shafts are approximately 33 to 39 feet in diameter, located at a depth of at least 2,130 feet. The team suggested that the structure could support the pyramid
During the press conference, the team explained that they sent radar signals of two satellites, about 420 miles above the earth, in the Khafre pyramid, allowing them to analyze how the signals bounced back. Shown are hidden structures identified in the pyramid
The team claims that this scan shows a 'vast city' that hides under the pyramid (shown in luminous colors)
All three were built 4,500 years ago on a rocky plateau on the western bank of the river Nile in northern Egypt, and were Built in the name of a pharaoh.
The vertical shafts that were identified under Khafre were approximately 33 to 39 feet in diameter, located at a depth of at least 2,130 feet. The team suggested that the structures could support the pyramid.
'We have done calculations and saw that the Khafre pyramid is incredibly heavy and to keep it up, he needs a solid foundation. Otherwise it will sink, “said Malanga.
Ciccolo also noted that the cylinder structures seemed to 'serve as access points to this underground system'.
