RESEARCHERS who claim to have discovered a “lost city” deep below the pyramids now believe it could be the site of the mythical Hall of Records.
But, as the sensational claims tear across the globe, others in the science world have united to shoot down the “fake news”.

The Hall of Records is an ancient library, rumoured to exist underground near the Great Sphinx of Giza – where the pyramids are also found.
The story originates from the American Edgar Cayce, who claimed to be a clairvoyant.
He said that refugees from Atlantis – a fictional ancient island – built the great library to preserve their knowledge.
Now, it’s emerged that the authors of the bombshell new pyramids study claim they could have finally discovered the famed site.
They said: “The Pyramid of Khafre might conceal undiscovered secrets, notably the fabled Hall of Records”.
The new work, by Italian and Scottish archaeologists, claims to have found a “vast underground city” beneath the pyramids – including huge wells, a water system and connecting corridors.
The team, led by Professor Corrado Malanga, said they suspect “an entire hidden world of many structures” beneath the enormous landmarks.
Radar technology reportedly allowed them to see complex networks more than a kilometre below ground for the first time.
But many in the science world are sceptical and have hit back.
Dr Zahi Hawass told The National the findings were “completely wrong” and not rooted in science.
He added: “The claim of using radar inside the pyramid is false, and the techniques employed are neither scientifically approved nor validated.”
The extraordinary new study has not been peer-reviewed.
Professor Lawrence Conyers who works at the University of Denver, specialising in radar and archaeology, also critiqued the study.
He told the Daily Mail that radar pulses could not possibly detect what is that far underground.

The expert called the claims that researchers found a vast city underneath the pyramids “a huge exaggeration”.
However, he said there may be smaller structures like shafts and chambers, highlighting how the site would have been “special to ancient people”.
He explained that the Mayans “often built pyramids on top of the entrances to caves or caverns that had ceremonial significance to them”.
Other researchers questioned the reputation of the project leader, Professor Malanga.
He has long been interested in UFO and alien abductions as well as the “Giza power plant” theory – all fringe ideas that have largely been written off by experts as unsubstantiated conspiracy.

The use of AI to create some of the images that accompany the research has also been criticised.
But Malanga insists there are more secrets to be revealed from underneath the pyramids.
He said at the press conference: “Until yesterday, Egyptologists said there was nothing, that is is an empty mountain of stones, but there are a lot of things”.
The team reportedly used two satellites in the study, to rule out any possibility of “misinterpretation”.
Malanga noted the results from the two were “completely consistent”.
His team are reportedly keen to excavate the area to further explore what is below the pyramids, but securing approval from the authorities is incredibly tough.
