Merlin Burrows, a UK-based company, specialized in advanced photography, has revealed what might be the legendary maze of Egypt-a sprawling underground complex described by the old historian Herodotus as containing 3000 rooms.
The surveyes, which were first presented in a special briefing in Harugate, UK, in 2015, determined a vast underground structure, with a 40 -meter metal object in its essence, raising questions that challenge traditional effects.
The surveying operations, led by Tim Aksrez, former officer in Rav Miniwith Hill with satellite photography experience, unveiled a multi -layer complex under the Hawar website, near Hawra’s pyramid. This pyramid, which was built during the Middle Kingdom in Egypt, has long been associated with the maze that Herodotus described in the fifth century BC.
His accounts talked about an enormous structure, partially higher and partial than the ground, with complex clips and complex. To date, he considered a lot of description exaggerated or lost until time. However, the Merlin Burrows technology, which was originally developed for military applications such as submarine tracking and warehouse discovery, brought a new clarity to the site.
At the heart of this discovery, there is a huge hall, which is 40 meters long and 100 meters long, which contains a stand -up object, nicknamed “Dippy” after a DipLodocus skeleton at the London Natural History Museum.
Unlike the surrounding stone and clay beating, this organism appears metallic, and its similarity looks like a tic-tac or perhaps an ancient Egyptian-symbol of eternity. Its materials and the purpose are still unknown, which drives speculation about its origins and functions.
Surbs reveals four distinct underground layers, separated by 20 to 50 meters, which are in line with previous geophysical surveys such as the Matha 2008 Mission. These layers form a complex of ten soccer fields, with a central corridor that connects them like the atrium.
The site’s ocean is a trench -like feature, in the form of a Greek omega or shin ring, which is hinting at a deliberate design linked to ancient symbolism.
The surveying also confirms two rooms under the Hawra pyramid, one of which matches the burial room that was found by the archaeologist Flinders Petri in 1888, and another unknown previously, outside the “blind corridor” that he rejected as a dead end. This clip, which is likely to obscure the groundwater from the nearby Bahar Wahbi channel, may lead to the same maze.
Groundwater has the long exploration in Hawra, as shallow floods affect the entrance to the pyramid and the surrounding areas. However, AKERS tests indicate that the deeper structures are still not affected, as the hollow interior designs are preserved under the mother rocks.
This discovery opposes fears earlier that the maze may be fully immersed, providing hope for future campaigns. Surbs also discovered head shafts, potential graves dating back to the Persian era from the time of Herodotus, adding another layer of historical importance to the site.
Louis de Cordy, a major figure in the project, was Confrontation Functions in 2008 after sharing the results from the Matha’s trip, and got a spot on the archaeological blacklist in Egypt.
To avoid similar obstacles, the team imposed strict non -disclosure agreements, which gave priority to a future exploratory trip on a public uproar. Previous experiments showed that early advertisements often led to media noise and bureaucratic roads, including auditing from personalities such as Dr. Zahi Hawas, former head of the Ministry of Antiquities in Egypt.
Harrogate, which was held at the Montpellier Pavilion at the Crown Hotel, was a pivotal moment. The attendees, including the patron of the project Andrew Parker and researcher Michael Donilan, reviewed the exams in a surveillance room, reflecting the sensitivity of the discovery.
The AKERS show is highlighted by the complexity of “examination operations” – overlapping overlapping images in one width, with colors indicating depth and materials. Black spots were characterized by surface antiques, while deeper layers appeared in yellow, red, green and blue, revealing an organized running world.
While meeting the new campaign plans, the team remains cautious, and realizes the political and cultural sensitivities surrounding such a discovery.
