Giza Plateau has once again captured global attention after a group of researchers claimed that advanced radar scans may have revealed a vast underground network of structures, including what some are calling a possible “second Sphinx.” The theory, fuelled by satellite-based imaging and detailed subsurface mapping, suggests the presence of geometric formations, deep chambers, and interconnected pathways hidden beneath the sands. The idea has quickly gone viral, blending cutting-edge technology with ancient mystery, and reigniting long-standing questions about what may still lie undiscovered beneath one of the most iconic archaeological landscapes in the world.
Inside the scans that hint at a second Sphinx under Giza
The theory comes from the Khafre Research Project, led by Corrado Malanga, Filippo Biondi, and Armando Mei.
Using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Doppler tomography, the team analysed how radar signals interact with the ground to build layered, three-dimensional models of what lies beneath the surface. Their approach focuses on detecting subtle variations and patterns that could indicate structured formations rather than natural geology.
According to Filippo Biondi, “our geophysical surveys revealed organised formations and deep chambers that point to a level of complexity beneath Giza that has not been fully explored.”
The researchers describe a striking underground landscape beneath the Great Sphinx of Giza and surrounding pyramids. Their findings suggest the presence of vertical shafts, spiral-like pathways, and large chambers positioned far below the surface, forming what appears to be a coordinated structural network.
In this context, the idea of a “second Sphinx” emerges not as a fully exposed monument, but as a mirrored or sphinx-like formation detected in the data, aligned with the geometry of the existing Sphinx. The scans also indicate pillar-like structures and symmetrical layouts that some interpret as signs of intentional design.
The team’s analysis further points to features beneath the Pyramid of Khafre, including interconnected formations that extend across significant portions of the plateau, suggesting that what lies underground could be far more extensive than previously imagined.
