Andrew Collins Discovers Giza Cave?

August 18th, 2009 by Rob | Posted under caves, collins, giza.

It depends on who you ask, as to whether this is a legit discovery, or just an old cave that has been studied previously.

Andrew Collins: Claims to have rediscovered a cave system under the Giza plateau, from studying the writings of Henry Salt from the 19th century. The angle Collins is taking for his new book “Beneath the Pyramids” (published this week) seems to be that the pyramid complex was inspired in some way by the cave system.

Zahi Hawass: “There are no new discoveries to be made at Giza. We know everything about the plateau,” he stated.

Andrew Collins: “To the best of our knowledge nothing has ever been written or recorded about these caves since Salt’s explorations. If Hawass does have any report related to these caves, we have yet to see it.”

Personally, as much as I am a fan of Andrew Collins, I find it hard to believe that there is anything left to discover at Giza, that can be seen from the surface, as this cave entrance appears to be.
