Italian researchers using SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) technology detected multiple subterranean anomalies beneath the Giza plateau. Recent 2024 surveys found chambers and shafts, including a 33-foot L-shaped structure at approximately 6.5 feet depth. Dr. Robert Schoch is known for geological theories about the Sphinx but was not involved in these recent surveys. Experts have disputed the claims, with researchers acknowledging they found "a combination of a shallow structure connected to a deeper structure." 🗿
