Archaeologists discovered secret structures in Giza, Egypt with ground-penetrating high-tech methods. The methods revealed an L-shaped structure and a deeper, larger anomaly hidden beneath bare sand. The findings could explain why a large section of the densely packed Western Cemetery is empty. Egypt holds many secrets to its ancient past, and archaeologists may have discovered […]
The pyramids in and around Giza have presented a fascinating puzzle for millennia. How did ancient Egyptians move limestone blocks, some weighing more than a ton, without using wheels?
