Beneath the Pyramids: A Biblical Reflection on Giza’s Mysterious Discovery

Recent headlines buzz with excitement as researchers Corrado Malanga (University of Pisa) and Filippo Biondi (University of Strathclyde) unveiled a stunning discovery beneath Egypt’s iconic Pyramid of Khafre. Using cutting-edge Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and innovative phononic reconstruction software, they’ve identified an elaborate subterranean complex extending an astonishing two kilometers below the Giza Plateau. This complex includes five geometrically connected structures, spiraled vertical shafts descending 648 meters, and massive cube-like chambers—potentially reshaping our understanding of ancient Egyptian purpose and technology.

However, before diving headfirst into speculative waters, we must note that the scientific community remains cautious. Peer-reviewed verification of these structures, their actual function, and even their confirmed existence via excavation is still pending. So, while groundbreaking, it’s prudent to approach these claims with healthy skepticism.

Yet, for those familiar with biblical symbolism, these findings resonate powerfully with ancient texts and narratives.

Biblical Connections: Revelation and the Nephilim

Feel free to consider these possibilities as intriguing concepts to ponder—let’s enjoy exploring ideas without taking them too seriously, keeping them simply as fascinating options to keep in mind:

1. Revelation’s Bottomless Pit

The book of Revelation describes a mysterious “bottomless pit” (Greek: Abyssos), a spiritual and physical gateway (Revelation 9:1-11; 17:8). The spiral shafts under the pyramids eerily parallel this imagery. Spirals symbolize ascension, descent, or transformation—often representing spiritual gateways in ancient iconography.

Could these spiraled shafts function symbolically, or even literally, as “seals” binding something beneath the earth? Revelation vividly describes demonic or powerful entities emerging from the Abyss once opened. This underground complex beneath Giza could align metaphorically or even tangibly with Revelation’s imagery: a deep, deliberately sealed place, meant to remain inaccessible until a predetermined moment.

2. Nephilim and Ancient Giants (Genesis 6:4)

Genesis 6:4 describes the Nephilim—giants born from “the sons of God” and human women, often interpreted as supernatural or hybrid beings. Could these immense underground structures represent remnants of ancient architecture crafted by or for these mysterious beings?

The massive scale and depth of these constructions far surpass typical human utility or burial purposes. Could the purpose behind these vast subterranean chambers and spiraling shafts reflect technology, ritualistic intention, or even imprisonment mechanisms related to these enigmatic beings?

The Bible consistently highlights hidden knowledge, ancient structures, and forbidden wisdom associated with beings like the Nephilim. Structures of such monumental scale and secrecy beneath the pyramids hint at precisely such knowledge or technology—potentially forbidden, buried, or locked away for millennia.

Symbolic and Esoteric Implications

The newly discovered eight cylindrical shafts echo mystical traditions—eight symbolizes cosmic order, regeneration, and spiritual transcendence in various ancient traditions, from Kabbalah to Freemasonry. Spirals around these pillars amplify this symbolism, suggesting energy coils, conduits, or even symbolic serpents linking spiritual and material realms.

Structurally, these discoveries suggest deliberate, highly sophisticated ancient engineering intended not merely for support, but possibly for energetic or spiritual functions. The depth of two kilometers speaks volumes about intentional concealment. Perhaps, as Revelation suggests, certain truths or powers must remain hidden until humanity is ready or until prophetic timelines unfold.

Could the Beast of Revelation be “Awakened” Technology?

Revelation 17:8 describes “the beast that was, and is not, and yet is,” ascending from the bottomless pit. Interpreted through a modern lens, this could metaphorically indicate ancient technological or spiritual forces—dormant, awaiting activation.

If this subterranean complex is genuinely technological, might it represent an ancient “resurrection machine,” awaiting conditions or ritualistic activation? Such a scenario eerily aligns with prophetic warnings of deceptive powers rising in the end times.

The convergence of Revelation’s imagery, ancient narratives of powerful Nephilim, and the sheer depth and complexity of this discovery beneath Giza invites profound reflection. While caution in interpreting new archaeological findings is crucial, the symbolic, spiritual, and prophetic echoes are undeniably compelling.

As Above, So Below

The pyramids reflect the heavenly order above ground. What lies beneath may mirror this symmetry in darkness—an inverted, hidden world awaiting revelation or activation. Whether literal or symbolic, this discovery invites us to ponder ancient wisdom, prophetic mysteries, and humanity’s readiness for truths long hidden beneath the sands of Giza.

While playing around with these ideas has been enjoyable, if you’re looking for a more serious, in-depth exploration of Revelation from a contextualized Jewish perspective, be sure to pre-order my upcoming book: Revelation: A Jewish Perspective
