The Tomb of the Birds was excavated at Giza in 1837 under Howard Vyse, with John Shae Perring, and contained bird mummies and other animal remains. Andrew Collins argues that a concealed opening at the tomb provides access to a vast cave system and that TerraSAR-X imagery indicates a possible route toward the Second Pyramid. This interpretation remains disputed. The cited sources do not verify the claimed 2008 entry by Collins, Nigel Skinner Simpson and Sue Collins, the January 2025 sealing, or the ancient name Rosttow/Restau.

Key facts
- The Tomb of the Birds was excavated at Giza in 1837 under Howard Vyse, with John Shae Perring among his team, and contained bird mummies and other animal remains.
- The identification of the tomb as the 'official' entrance to a Giza cave underworld is Andrew Collins's disputed interpretation, not an established archaeological conclusion.
- The cited sources do not substantiate the claimed 2008 access by Andrew Collins, Nigel Skinner Simpson and Sue Collins, or the reported January 2025 sealing.
- The proposed northwest-to-southeast route, continuation to the Second Pyramid and interpretation of TerraSAR-X dark lines are parts of the cave-system hypothesis, not proof of an underground complex.
- The asserted ancient name 'Rosttow' or 'Restau,' meaning 'mouth of the passages,' is not established by the cited sources.
