Ground-penetrating radar surveys have detected subsurface anomalies near the Great Pyramid including chambers and tunnels. GPR and ERT surveys have identified potential underground structures. Researchers argue more comprehensive surveys are needed — especially on the causeway area.
Historical GPR surveys found chambers dismissed as natural cracks

Key facts
- Ground penetrating radar surveys were conducted at the Sphinx
- These surveys found large regular chambers
- Results were dismissed as natural cracks despite evidence to the contrary
- A paper by Italians showed massive underground ramps on the pyramid
- One expert is skeptical of the satellite data interpretation due to single-pass analysis
- The speaker argues for more GPR surveys on the causeway
