"I discovered three perfectly cut shafts hidden beneath the sands. They sit in the triangle between the Great Sphinx, Khufu's Pyramid and Khafre's Pyramid, and may open into a long-forgotten underground world. These are not water wells. They bear no inscriptions, no signs of casual digging, and their geometry is too precise, their walls too smooth, their design too deliberate. Could these shafts be the keys to the network of hidden chambers the Greek philosopher Herodotus once whispered about, possibly connected to the Nile?"
"Herodotus described a massive 'labyrinth' in Egypt with 3,000 chambers, many hidden below ground, which included and a large underground pyramid. Explorers in the 1800s, like Giovanni Caviglia and Henry Salt, recorded strange wells near the Sphinx and Khafre's causeway. French archaeologist Pierre-Jean Mariette mapped additional anomalies in 1864 and 1885, and scholars like George Reisner, Hermann Junker, and Selim Hassan traced a line of cavities between the Sphinx and Khafre's Pyramid between 1929 and 1939."
Three perfectly cut shafts lie on the northeastern edge of the Giza Plateau between the Great Sphinx, Khufu's Pyramid and Khafre's Pyramid, descending into enigmatic depths. The shafts are square, precisely fitted with limestone and sandstone blocks, lacking inscriptions or casual-digging signs, and are not water wells. Historical reports from Herodotus and 19th–20th-century explorers recorded similar wells and mapped anomalies and cavities along the Sphinx–Khafre corridor. Recent Synthetic Aperture Radar surveys guided fieldwork that located the standing shafts, suggesting they may connect to a broader, possibly interconnected subterranean network and potentially to the Nile.
