Giza mound is 20th-century spoil, not natural ground level, beneath which anomaly lies. Predicted anomaly location sits in the Western Cemetery at Giza, one of the most excavated areas on the plateau. The mound above the predicted coordinates is composed of 'smarino' (spoil) — previously excavated earth deposited during early 20th-century cleanup campaigns of the mastabas. The mound does not appear in early 1900s photographs because it was created afterward from excavation debris.
Giza's Western Cemetery is heavily excavated, but above the predicted anomaly sits 'smarino'—spoil from early 20th-century mastaba cleanups. It doesn't appear in early 1900s photos since it was created afterward. The structure allegedly lies beneath natural ground level, not within the spoil itself. Next step: excavation and bore holes, pending funding.
Key Facts
- Predicted anomaly location sits in the Western Cemetery at Giza, one of the most excavated areas on the plateau.
- The mound above the predicted coordinates is composed of 'smarino' (spoil) — previously excavated earth deposited during early 20th-century cleanup campaigns of the mastabas.
- The mound does not appear in early 1900s photographs because it was created afterward from excavation debris.
- The claim is that the structure lies below the natural ground level beneath the spoil mound, not inside or within it.
- The anomaly is described as potentially tied into the same vertical shaft structures mapped by the team elsewhere on the The Great Pyramid of Giza.
- The team's proposed next step is ground-truth verification via excavation, bore holes, and drones, pending funding and authorization.
