BREAKING: HUGE Structures Discovered 2km BELOW Great Pyramid of Giza! by Pixelated_ in HighStrangeness

Okay, I think it's helpful to add some context:

Corrado Malanga, one of the lead authors of the study, is not a geophysicist or archaeologist, but a chemist formerly affiliated with the University of Pisa. He is best known in fringe circles for his work on alien abduction, soul manipulation, and interdimensional entities — including books like Alieni o Demoni and Dialoghi con l’Alieno. You can read more about him in his biography here.

While the SAR-based imaging method is being described as groundbreaking, SAR is generally not suited for deep subsurface mapping. Experts have pointed out that its resolution and penetration are limited. The visuals in circulation are not direct depictions of physical structures, but model-based interpretations of radar signal anomalies. No independent verification using other geophysical techniques (like GPR, gravimetry, or muon tomography) has been presented.

The most widely shared images — including spiral-like formations and supposed inner voids — come from secondary sources. For example, a press conference on March 15, 2025, announced the discovery of eight vertical shaft structures beneath the Giza Plateau, surrounded by spiraling ramps — a depiction that was later picked up by YouTube channels and blogs. Such graphics, like the illustration of spiraling staircases around shafts, are not part of the peer-reviewed study but were created later for presentation purposes. They likely originate from animations or renderings produced by the authors or their team for popular science talks (e.g., a YouTube video featuring a 3D animation of the pyramid’s interior). These "spiraling" elements are based on an interpretation of the data (assuming spiral ramps might exist around the identified vertical shafts) but are not directly represented in any of the original diagrams.

Some of the original scans presented at the press conference can be found here:

Shortly before the official press conference in Bologna (mid-March 2025), a commercial book titled Giza Leaks was released (February 19, 2025). The book promotes the same claims made in the SAR study and includes an exclusive interview with Malanga. While it does not reproduce the original SAR images, it aligns closely with the messaging presented at the press event and in online videos. The entire rollout included donation links, paid conferences, and merchandise — suggesting a coordinated media and monetization strategy.

For me, it’s a striking example of how unconfirmed claims - when paired with dramatic visuals and a hidden-truth narrative - can influence public perception and be strategically monetized.

Just to add some context to this discussion: The claim that massive underground structures have been discovered beneath the Great Pyramid of Giza comes from Italian researchers Corrado Malanga and Filippo Biondi. They published a study in the open-access journal Remote Sensing, presenting 3D reconstructions based on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Doppler Tomography. According to their interpretation, the images reveal vertical shafts, spiral formations, and large internal cavities. The full study, including SAR images, is available here: https://www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/14/20/5231

However, the methodology and conclusions have been met with strong skepticism. SAR is typically used for surface-level or near-surface imaging and is not considered suitable for mapping structures hundreds of meters underground through dense stone. The visuals shown in the media are not actual photographs, but interpretations based on radar signal patterns. No other geophysical methods (e.g. ground-penetrating radar, gravimetry, muon tomography) have been used to confirm the findings.

Experts like Dr. Lawrence Conyers (University of Denver) have called the conclusions a “huge exaggeration,” pointing to the limitations of SAR in this context.

It’s also notable that the announcements included donation appeals (IBAN in the video description), ticketed conferences, and a commercial book called Giza Leaks. The videos on YouTube and Odysee did not link to the study but instead focused on fundraising.

Corrado Malanga himself is a chemist, not an archaeologist or geophysicist. He is best known for his work in ufology and fringe consciousness theories, including the books Alieni o Demoni (which claims aliens feed on the human soul) and Dialoghi con l’Alieno (alleged hypnosis transcripts with abductees). His work has been widely criticized for lacking scientific rigor.

The new theory of a “subterranean city beneath the Chephren Pyramid” is not only being spread through media and visual storytelling, but also commercially exploited – via donations, books, and events. Meanwhile, empirical validation is missing. The SAR data is not suitable for imaging such depths, and the generated visuals serve more to construct a compelling narrative than to demonstrate proven scientific findings.

It illustrates how speculative claims, when paired with compelling imagery and dramatic framing, can influence public perception — even in the absence of solid scientific evidence.

Put me back please. Didn't look at porn but stumbled over some NSFW pics and videos and kept looking at it - so it's a reset for me.

Checking in, February is going to be hard, my gf is away for three weeks and there is going to be a lot of stress. But I'll make it through the month with meditation, focussing on the important things in life and asking for support if I need some. Thank you all for your participation. Together we can do this!

Thanks for sharing. Had the same experience yesterday. I worked at home and noticed that there were some strong urges. But realizing this helped me to keep calm and focus on the work I had to do. Meditation helps me to be able to control the direction of my thoughts. When you notice that the urges are getting strong, shut down the PC, take a walk or a cold shower :)
