Ground-Penetrating Radar Reveals Buried Anomaly Near the Great Pyramids of Giza
By
Darren Orf
Summary
Archaeologists using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and electrical resistivity tomography near the Great Pyramids of Giza have discovered a buried structural anomaly that may be an entrance to something deeper beneath the desert floor. The research, led by Tohoku University's Motoyuki Sato, demonstrates how non-invasive geophysical techniques continue to reveal hidden archaeological features even at well-excavated sites like Giza.

· 3 pulledIn the world of archeology, few tools have revolutionized the field as much as ground-penetrating radar (GPR).
This geophysical technique uses radar pulses to image the subsurface.
Similar techniques have uncovered Viking longships in Norway, revealed lost civilizations in the Amazonian jungle, and even entire Roman cities without ever putting a shovel into dirt.
