Archaeologists perplexed by large 'anomaly' found buried under Giza pyramids [View all]
Researchers say they can’t determine material causing the anomaly

Archaeologists have stumbled upon what they described as a large “anomaly” buried under the Giza pyramid complex in Egypt.
Researchers used new tools like ground-penetrating radar to assess the area under the Western Cemetery in Giza to see if anything undiscovered was buried there.
They discovered a pair of underground structures – one shallow, the other deep – beneath a royal graveyard near the 4,500-year-old Great Pyramid.
The archaeologists described the structures as an anomaly because their density differs from that of the surrounding ground.
They believe the structures are man-made due to their shape and suspect that they were backfilled after construction.
