17 New Pyramids in Giza
As if the Great Sphinx was not enough, Giza is about to be the site of 17 new pyramids. Archeologists and scientists, using satellite technology, have uncovered 17 new pyramids around Giza. The satellite, which was used to detect hidden structures underneath the Earth’s surface, also led to the discovery of over 1,000 burial sites hidden in the earth.
