This video by Ben van Kerkwyk of UnchartedX explores the possibility of one of the most significant archaeological discoveries yet to be fully uncovered—the Great Labyrinth of Egypt. This structure, described by ancient historians as surpassing even the pyramids in grandeur, has been the subject of speculation, suppression, and modern technological investigation.

The presentation, originally delivered at the Cosmic Summit (June 2025), delves into:

• Historical accounts of the labyrinth from Greek and Roman writers.

• Modern expeditions using ground-penetrating radar, satellite scans, and seismic tomography.

• Suppression of discoveries by Egyptian authorities.

• Remarkable claims about a 40-meter-long metallic object buried deep beneath the site.

1. Historical Accounts of the Labyrinth

Multiple classical authors described the labyrinth, emphasizing its immense scale and complexity:

Herodotus (5th century BCE)

• Called it greater than the pyramids, with 3,000 chambers (1,500 above ground, 1,500 below).

• Described 12 massive courts, intricate passages, and white stone columns.

• Mentioned a pyramid attached to the labyrinth via an underground passage.

Diodorus Siculus (1st century BCE)

• Compared it to the Greek labyrinth of Crete, suggesting the Egyptian version was the original.

• Said it was impossible to navigate without a guide.

Strabo (1st century CE)

• Called it equal to the pyramids in grandeur.

• Described hidden chambers, twisting corridors, and a pyramid at its end.

Pliny the Elder (1st century CE)

• Claimed it was built 3,600 years before his time (~3,600 BCE, predating dynastic Egypt).

• Said its columns were made of marble (calcite) and granite.

Pomponius Mela (1st century CE)

• Described 1,000 houses and 12 palaces within its walls.

• Mentioned a single descending entrance leading to a maze-like interior.

These accounts suggest the labyrinth was a multi-level, megalithic structure with vast halls, underground chambers, and advanced stonework.

2. Location: Hawara in the Faiyum

Most scholars agree the labyrinth was located near Hawara, south of Cairo, where:

• Amenemhat III’s mudbrick pyramid stands.

• Lake Moeris (now Lake Qarun) once existed.

• Petrie’s excavations (1888-1911) revealed megalithic foundations beneath the pyramid.

Petrie’s Discoveries

• Found a subterranean quartzite chamber beneath the pyramid (~110 tons).

• Described massive stone blocks, possibly part of the labyrinth’s roof.

• Noted that rising groundwater prevented full exploration.

3. Modern Scans Confirm the Labyrinth

Several expeditions have used advanced technology to scan the site:

Mataha Expedition (2008)

• Used ground-penetrating radar, VLF, and resistivity tomography.

• Found a grid-like structure (~8–12m deep) matching classical descriptions.

• Zahi Hawass allegedly suppressed the findings, threatening the team with arrest.

Geoscan Systems (2015–2016)

• Used satellite-based spectral analysis to detect subsurface anomalies.

• Found four distinct underground layers, with huge halls (80m x 50m) at depths of 40–100m.

Merlin Burrows (2016–2017)

• Used military-grade satellite imaging and seismic data.

• Detected a freestanding 40m metallic object (nicknamed "Dippy") at ~60m depth.

• Suggested it could be a "portal" or ancient artifact of unknown origin.

Correlations Between Scans

• Both Geoscan and Merlin Burrows identified multiple underground levels.

• The depth (40–100m) aligns with Herodotus’ description of 90 steps between levels.

• The scale (1,000+ rooms) matches ancient accounts.

4. Suppression and Political Challenges

• Zahi Hawass reportedly blocked publication of the Mataha Expedition’s findings, citing "national security."

• A Polish-Egyptian geological survey (2009) was halted, and its director jailed.

• Rising groundwater (due to the Aswan High Dam) threatens the site’s preservation.

Why the Cover-Up?

• Cost of excavation: Draining and preserving the site would be extremely expensive.

• Political risks: Admitting its existence without a plan could lead to international criticism.

• Alternative history implications: The labyrinth may challenge mainstream Egyptology.

5. The Future: Could the Labyrinth Be Explored?

• Italian SAR (synthetic aperture radar) team (behind the Giza scans) may investigate Hawara.

• Crowdfunding or international collaboration could fund excavation.

• Urgency: Rising water levels may destroy artifacts within decades.

Conclusion

The Labyrinth of Egypt represents one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of antiquity. Multiple scanning technologies confirm its existence, yet political and logistical hurdles prevent full exploration. If uncovered, it could rewrite history—revealing lost knowledge, advanced engineering, and possibly even anomalous artifacts like the rumored "Dippy" object.

For now, the labyrinth remains hidden beneath the sands of Hawara, waiting for the day when technology and willpower align to reveal its secrets.

Miguel Conner is host of the Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio podcast. He has authored two books of interviews about gnosticism, Voices of Gnosticism and Other Voices of Gnosticism, and also four novels. His newest book is The Occult Elvis: The Mystical and Magical Life of the King.

His website is https://www.miguelconner.com

Here he explains the origins of Gnosticism in late antiquity. He describes how it impacted both the Christian, Greek, and Persian worlds. He discusses the influence of Gnosticism upon a range of modern thinkers and writers. And, he distinguishes Gnosticism from other similar movements including Neo-Platonism and Hermeticism.

Viktor Schauberger (1885–1958) was an Austrian forester, inventor, and naturalist known for his pioneering ideas on water management, energy generation, and biomimicry. He observed natural processes, particularly the movement of water in rivers and forests, and developed theories and technologies inspired by nature's principles.

Key Concepts & Contributions:

1. Water as a Living Element

   • Schauberger believed water was a living organism that must flow naturally (in vortices/spirals) to stay healthy.

   • He opposed straight, channelized rivers, arguing they disrupted water's energy and led to environmental damage.

2. Implosion Technology

   • Unlike conventional explosion-based engines (e.g., combustion), Schauberger proposed implosion—using inward-spiraling forces to create energy.

   • His Repulsine (a flying disc-like device) and other vortex-based machines aimed to harness this principle.

3. Log Flumes & River Engineering

   • Designed curved wooden flumes to transport logs efficiently, mimicking natural water flow.

   • Advised against concrete in river regulation, promoting natural meanders and gravel beds.

4. Copper in Agriculture & Water Revitalization

   • Used copper tools to enhance water quality and soil fertility, believing certain metals interacted beneficially with water's energy.

5. Eco-Technology & Free Energy

   • Explored concepts like "levitation" through vortex dynamics, leading to speculation about anti-gravity devices (though much remains unverified).

Legacy & Controversy:

• Schauberger's work was suppressed during WWII (Nazis reportedly forced him to research unconventional propulsion).

• Modern permaculture, vortex water revitalization, and eco-engineering movements cite his ideas.

• Some claims (e.g., free energy devices) remain disputed or unproven.

Famous Quotes:

• "Comprehend and copy nature!"

• "Water is a living substance."

The SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) scan project of the Khafre Pyramid has recently revealed potentially groundbreaking discoveries about the internal structure of the pyramid and the surrounding area.

Key Findings

Internal Structure:

• The scan uncovered a hidden chamber inside the Pyramid of Khafre containing five mysterious djed-like structures, similar to symbols found in the Great Pyramid of Giza and Egyptian hieroglyphs.

• The 3D reconstruction of the pyramid's interior revealed 5 identical structures near the base, connected by geometric pathways. Each structure has 5 horizontal levels and a sloping roof.

Underground Structures:

• Massive underground structures were detected, extending nearly two kilometers deep beneath the pyramid.

• The subterranean network includes:

  • Giant cylindrical constructions going 648 meters (approximately 2,126 feet) below the plateau.

  • Two cubical structures at the bottom of the cylindrical formations.

  • Spiraling columns and cube-like formations.

Technology Used

The project utilized an advanced form of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) doppler tomography. This technique, developed by Filippo Biondi, transforms radar signals into phononic information, allowing for the detection of millimetric vibrations. The method analyzes micro-movements on the pyramid induced by ambient seismic waves, enabling high-resolution, full 3D tomographic imaging of the pyramid's interior and subsurface1.

Researchers

The project was led by:

• Corrado Malanga from the University of Pisa

• Filippo Biondi from the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow

Significance and Controversy

This discovery has sparked significant interest and debate in both academic and alternative archaeology circles. While the findings are potentially revolutionary, there is some controversy surrounding the reliability of the methodology, as it is a relatively new application of SAR technology in archaeology. The researchers did not have official permission from Egyptian authorities for this project, conducting their scans independently using satellite-based technology.

As more information is revealed, it remains to be seen whether these findings will be confirmed and lead to further discoveries about ancient Egyptian technology and architecture.
