Joe Rogan calls discovery of 'vast city' beneath Giza Pyramids 'mind-blowing' as ancient energy grid theories resurface
A new theory suggesting the existence of a vast underground city beneath the Pyramids of Giza has gone viral, with podcaster Joe Rogan weighing in on the 'mind-blowing' possibility. Italian and Scottish scientists claim they've identified an elaborate subterranean network extending 6,500 feet below the iconic monuments, potentially redefining our understanding of ancient Egypt.
The study—led by Corrado Malanga and Filippo Biondi—relied on advanced radar pulse technology to create 3D images below the earth's surface, revealing vertical cylindrical structures and vast chambers. Though the findings have not yet been peer-reviewed, the researchers described it as a 'groundbreaking study' that could offer insight into a 'pre-flood civilization.'
Joe Rogan addressed the discovery on his podcast, stating, 'This is insane. It's quite stunning. They don't understand what it is, but it's a uniform structure. There are several pillars and all of this is very very very weird.'
He added, 'Christopher Dunne believes that the Pyramid of Giza is a big power plant... He thinks it coincides with the ability to produce hydrogen, to utilise the rays of space and to generate electricity through this.'
Critics, including Professor Lawrence Conyers of the University of Denver, have urged caution. He told DailyMail.com that 'the idea of an underground city' was 'a huge exaggeration,' stating the radar tech used is unlikely to detect structures at such depths. Still, he noted that ancient civilizations often built on sacred sites, adding, 'We can quibble about interpretations, and that is called science.'
Despite skepticism, public interest has surged. 'It's nothing short of mind-blowing,' said researcher Jay Anderson. 'With this discovery, I think it's impossible to say that the Egyptians we've been taught about built these structures.'
With the full presentation of the findings expected on March 25 and further research planned into 2025, the debate continues to gain traction online. Spokesperson Nicole Ciccolo stated, 'A vast underground city has been discovered beneath the pyramids… these new archaeological findings could redefine our understanding of the sacred topography of ancient Egypt.'

Pakistani-born scientist appointed to Scottish Science Advisory Council
With a research portfolio exceeding £13 million and over 500 peer-reviewed publications in top international journals — including the prestigious Nature family — Professor Abbasi is also the editor of 14 scientific books. PHOTO: University of Glasgow Listen to article Professor Qammer Hussain Abbasi, a distinguished academic and scientist originally from Murree and a graduate of the University of Engineering and Technology (UET), Lahore, has been appointed as a member of the Scottish Science Advisory Council (SSAC) — Scotland's highest scientific advisory body. This council provides independent, expert advice to Scottish Ministers through the Chief Scientific Adviser on science and technology issues. Abbasi is the first-ever Pakistani to receive this honour. According to the SSAC's official website, Abbasi currently serves at the James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow, as a Professor of Applied Electromagnetics and Sensing. He also acts as Co-Director of the Centre for Doctoral Training in Diversity-Led, Mission-Driven Research and Director for Communication Sensing and Imaging hub. With a research portfolio exceeding £13 million and over 500 peer-reviewed publications in top international journals — including the prestigious Nature family — Abbasi is also the editor of 14 scientific books. His wide-ranging work spans areas such as intergrated sensing and communication, 6G and 5G technologies, terahertz electronics, wireless and nano-scale communications, sensors, radio frequencies for healthcare, and even brain–machine interfaces. He has received multiple accolades, including a Global Talent endorsement from the Royal Academy of Engineering, teaching excellence award and the Sensor 2021 Young Scientist Award. His multidisciplinary approach continues to bridge the worlds of electronics, computing, and biomedical engineering. Notably, Abbasi was also appointed as an advisor to the UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology in November 2024, where he contributes policy recommendations related to converging technologies such as semiconductors, quantum computing, AI, and future telecommunications. "My role in both bodies is to provide technical guidance to shape national science and innovation policy. These insights are passed on to the Secretary of State and ultimately to wider government. The goal is to converge emerging technologies to support sustainable economic growth," Abbasi said in an interview with The Express Tribune. Adding to his list of historic achievements, he was recently elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE) (the national academy of Scotland) — the same prestigious institution that once included luminaries like James Clerk Maxwell and James Watt. He is the youngest Pakistani ever to receive this honour.

Another development in Giza pyramid mystery: new evidence could reshape history as we know it
Italian researchers have presented new claims suggesting a hidden city beneath Egypt's Giza pyramids, which, if confirmed, could dramatically alter our understanding of human history. The team, led by Dr. Mei, recently reported findings of shafts and chambers deep under the Khafre pyramid, which they believe are 38,000 years old. They also propose that the Giza complex, traditionally believed to be constructed about 4,500 years ago, was actually built by a pre-existing civilization around 12,000 years ago. According to their theory, this civilization was destroyed by a 'divine flood' caused by an asteroid impact, leaving only the pyramids as remnants of a larger 'megastructure.' One of the key pieces of evidence cited by Mei is water erosion seen on stones near the Great Pyramid's entrance. He suggests this indicates the pyramid was once submerged in ancient times. Additionally, salt encrustations found inside the Great Pyramid support the idea that ocean water flooded the Giza Plateau. Dr. Zahi Hawass, Egypt's former Minister of Antiquities, dismissed these claims, attributing the erosion to natural weathering processes. The team also speculated that the shafts and chambers could be part of a long-lost city, referencing the discovery of chamber-like structures over 4,000 feet underground. This theory has yet to undergo peer review, and the research methods, including seismic waves and radar, have been criticized by Hawass as unscientific. Further, the researchers believe that the Giza pyramids might predate Göbekli Tepe, the oldest known man-made structure, suggesting the pyramids were built tens of thousands of years earlier than previously thought. Despite skepticism from some experts, including Professor Lawrence Conyers, who considers these claims 'outlandish,' the researchers argue that the construction of the pyramids requires a more plausible explanation than traditional theories.
