A new presentation by The Khafra Project, called Corrado Malanga, Armando Mei, Filippo Biondi - GIZA – LA PUNTA DELL’ICEBERG was organised by Spoletolistica, on 27th July 2025 in Spoleto, Italy. This 3 hours, 45 minutes presentation filled with the Project’s research findings on underground structures on the Giza Plateau, where they presented new, easier to understand technical explanations as well as new hypotheses of their possible function.
Here, I will highlight Corrado Malanga’s take on the whole structure only. Mei and Biondi have also presented what they wished to say and you can watch the whole video later if you go to youtube.
Every tomographic slice of a pyramid contains info on the structure within, above and below the particular slice. Darker areas mean there is no hard material (air present, or water); bright colour is dense material such as granite.
In a satellite photo-survey of the Giza Plateau, using a photodensitometry technique, it has been shown that colours of the Giza plateau surface are different from the soil around it. They show: a different refractive index, a different subsoil temperature, a different reflectivity of the sand surface. All this point to the anomaly underneath there compared to everything else around it.
‘But, what is this little hill here (he calls it the Montarozzo) that apparently has nothing to do with any structure on the plateau? It’s sitting on top of the Menkaure’s water canal, which means the pyramid and the canal was built first, and then came the mountain of rubble on top of it.’
Malanga then calculates the volume of the little hill which roughly comes to 100,000m2. Using geology and comparing different layers of stone on the plateau, Malanga, who was also a surveyor, concludes that rubble came from the dig surrounding the other two pyramids, and that would mean that Menkaure’s Pyramid was built before the others.
But, what are all these tubes down there?
There are three hypotheses on what they may be according to Malanga:
1: They are there to support the monuments above them (pyramids) that would otherwise sink into the sand. The large plate on which pyramids are constructed is about 6m thick.
2. The pyramids are hydraulic elevators. The idea comes from the research article called “On the possible use of hydraulic force to assist with building the step pyramid of Saqqara’, Plos One, 2024.
3. They are heat exchangers. Heat exchangers look like the cylinders with separate spiral springs.
Therefore, cylinders below pyramids may have multiple functions, as described and more, built by a genius who took a time to think about it.
The underground ‘machine’ consists of 8 tubes under the Khafra, 8 tubes under the Khufu, 4 tubes under the Menkaure’s pyramids, with all of them finishing in the large chambers, deep under the plateau; there is also one under the Sphinx. A structure of two separate forks (passages) is further descending deep from Khafra’s pyramid at an angle.
‘Giza is a structure out of our understanding of history and represents a fixed point in the calendar of events of our world. Symbolically therefore, it represents the eternal present, because the pyramid is there, the eternal present of the human race.’

To add the automated subtitles in English, click the settings (wheel button), select Autotranslate, then find English and select. If it is still not appearing, click the CC button which switches the subtitles ON and OFF. Malanga swears a lot, but this adds some authentic Italian flavour to the presentation! The Autotranslate cannot handle it and makes up for it the best it can and sometimes you see *** within the brackets.
I am wondering if I should give you a crash course on Italian swear words because they are hilarious? I am Croatian and I learned a lot of Italian words, especially colourful swear words, as they are heard often, like merda, puttana, porca puttana, ke kaco etc. So, please let me know if you need an extra help this. Enjoy!
Have a wonderful festive season, watch, eat and laugh, and never stop wondering about the world you live in!
