Giza Plateau

[AlroyFarms]

Anybody have good info on what exactly has been 'found' under the Giza Plateau? I know there are a couple with anthro creds around here, would absolutely love to hear from them as well. 

One of my threads, and I would say one of the most fascinating and bewildering experiences in my life is detailed here and makes a major reference (perhaps) to just what's 'still asleep' in the Giza Plateau: https://denyignorance.com/Thread-You-Are-The-Sand-OOBE

So yah. This has been something I've been thinking of and pondering about for about 2 decades. 

More buttcrap? More bullfeathers? Or are we on the event horizon as usual? :) 

My personal gut-feeling is there is going to be something there, indisputable and world-changing, and that's why Carnie Bigloss (Hawass) stands like a sentinel. Nothing to see here folks. I mean even as a young tot I knew they weren't tombs.

Sorry I didn't realize there were already a couple threads on this. It's one of my favorite subjects and never saw it on the "what's hot sheet" during my lurkings in the last 6 months. I forget this site does have a different pace with its content.

Geology.  That's what's under (and on top of) the Giza plateau.

Although some authors like (for the purpose of selling books) to pretend that it's unexplored, it's a very active dig and restoration site and there's been thousands of investigations of it over time.  Can there still be stuff to be found?  Yes, indeed... they're uncovering the workers' village and other structures.

Are there huge tunnels underneath the pyramids leading down to a Mysterious City?  Nope.  That's REALLY bad data scrambling (according to a geologist friend of mine, who worked with satellite imaging.)  Is the Hall of Records there?  Nope, unless you're looking for a record of what happened to the land (geology.  Any geologist or rockhound can tell you that.)

Reptiles?  Maybe some lizards.

Stargates?  Vortexes?  If so, unobserved and undetected by all modern machinery and undetected by millions of tourists who visit every year, looking for interesting experiences.

I've been.  I loved it. I want to go back!  It's amazing and huge and I love reading about new discoveries there.  But the fluff and moonshine that some authors produce to sell books and videos isn't real.

Damn. So no river of mercury? 

Byrd it's been a joy drawing on your expertise these last 15 years and I appreciate your opinion and post here. 

I still wanna believe there is something big to be found or understood but yeah I think a huge underground city might be kinda hard to miss. 

I think seeing it all in person is one of my biggest travel dreams. At least I can see it all in my wildest dreams :)

Go there rather than reading other peoples BS.

For Byrd: I asked my father if he remembers the name of the tomb with the helicopter glyph, and he said it was not on the same day as we went to Giza, he said it was the day we went to the step pyramid. But no he doesnt remember the name of the tomb, but may narrow it down to which tomb if you really are that pedantic.

It's not a tomb; it's on a lintel (top of the door post) in a temple that Ramesses II remodeled and put his name on it after his father (Seti I) built it and put HIS name and titles all over it.  The inscription (minus the recarved "helicopter", etc) is found all over that temple. 

It's at Abydos, which was THE most sacred site in ancient Egypt. It does have a huge cemetery.

Sorry.  No river of mercury.  Could get you a few small (hand-sized) caves for any Lego sets that you might have (I have a bunch of Lego minifigs that I use in commenting on friends' posts)

Oh...there's also some cool fossils there --part of a Cretaceous dolphin fossil is there if you know where to look.  And all sorts of shells.

The country is amazing.  The traffic is...not like anything I've ever seen in my life (and I wouldn't want to drive in it) but I loved the people and the Nile River and... everything!

The cliff of Giza's plateau also has a number of rock cut tombs that we saw (alas, we weren't allowed in) but we did see the tomb where the owner promised that crocodiles would come and bite you if you disturbed him.  So -- many, many things to see.

Most frustrating were the hieroglyphs.  I can read a few phrases, but standing in places with all this writing was like being a 5 year old in the midst of a Really Great Library--you KNOW the books are interesting and you recognize some titles, but you can't READ them yet!!!

I went three times to Giza, my wife worked in Cairo for three years, in total five separate visits to Egypt and about five weeks total time there. I've probably spent a full  five days to a week of time at Giza and walked over much of it, several times, climbed to the top of Menkaure but only did the interior tour of Khufu Tomb once. I spent about another ten days (over multiple trips) to Saqqara going to the minor sites. Image shows the relationship of those to the more famous Giza. https://i.imgur.com/usQUKTl.jpg. I worked on an off in the ME from 1983 to 2011. The new findings, I'll wait for confirmation but am highly skeptical, one for no spall from such major diggings, no drainage? Think Porous limestone and copious ground water? No upper entrances? No traces at all at the surface?
"The traffic is...not like anything I've ever seen in my life" it was a maelstrom, but New Delhi is far worse! Mainly due to the mixture of animals and people mixing with moving traffic. Dubai back in 90's with its lack of modern roads but numerous powerful and expensive cars driven by people who belief in predestination,  and no real traffic laws, or traffic cops. I drove what was an externally armored Mitsubishi SUV, that rubbished all three taxis that rammed it over the years. Oddly Oman had the best traffic and motorists in the ME. Traffic in Luxor and Aswan, Alexandria and the Delta was better, but never good.
