The lost pyramids of Egypt: Scientist discovers vast hidden burial chambers. . . after spending 10 years studying Google Earth in her office in America
- Discovery made by American researcher Angela Micol, who studied satellite images 5,000 away in North Carolina
- One site spotted on satellite is three times the size of Great Pyramid at Giza
An American scientist has discovered two new possible pyramid sites in Egypt, after spending 10 years studying Google Earth.
Archeology researcher Angela Micol has pinpointed two areas along the Nile basin, 90 miles apart, both containing unusual shaped mounds.
One site includes a 620ft-wide triangular plateau that’s almost three times the size of the Great Pyramid at Giza.
The first area sits alongside the Nile in Upper Egypt, 12 miles from the city of Abu Sidhum.
If the plateau found there represents the remains of a genuine pyramid, it would be the largest ever discovered.
Ms Micol said: ‘Upon closer examination of the formation, this mound appears to have a very flat top and a curiously symmetrical triangular shape that has been heavily eroded with time.’
The second site, 90 miles north, contains a four-sided shape that’s 140ft wide.
‘It has a distinct square centre, which is very unusual for a mound of this size and it almost seems pyramidal when seen from above,’ Ms Micol said.

The smart glove that could give surgeons ‘supersense’ in their fingertips
- Smart glove could fool brain into feeling virtual temperatures and textures
- Can incorporate medical instruments and sensors
- Fingertip could also allow robots to carry out surgery more effectively
It could dramatically change the way surgery is carried out, and even change the way we play computer games.
Researchers today revealed the first ‘smart fingertips’.
The electronic fingers are molded to the user’s hand and have the ability to transmit electric signals to the skin.
The team hopes to one day incorporate the devices into a smart glove that creates virtual sensations, fooling the brain into feeling everything from texture to temperature.
Such gloves could be used in medical procedures such as local ablations and ultrasound scans.
Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Northwestern University and Dalian University of Technology have published their study in IOP Publishing’s journal Nanotechnology.
Offering guidelines to the creation of these electrotactile stimulation devices for use on surgeons’ fingertips, their paper is said to describe the materials, fabrication strategies and device designs using ultra-thin, stretchable, silicon-based electronics and soft sensors that can be mounted onto an artificial ‘skin’ and fitted to fingertips.

Pope's butler says he leaked Vatican documents to media to combat 'evil and corruption' as he is charged with theft
- The Pope’s butler Paolo Gabriele denied taking payment for leaking private letters and documents to the Italian media
- Another Vatican employee will face complicity charges
- The trial is set for October at the earliest
- The Pope is said to be ‘shocked and saddened’
- He set up a special commission to investigate the leaks which emerged on TV, in newspapers and a bestselling book
The Pope’s butler has claimed he passed on private documents and letters to journalists in a bid to stop ‘evil and corruption’ within the Church following his arrest for theft.
Paolo Gabriele, personal assistant to Pope Benedict XVI, has been charged with aggravated theft after police found confidential documents at his Vatican flat and arrested him in May.
He was arrested as part of an investigation over the leak of documents alleging corruption in the Vatican’s business dealings.
Father-of-three Gabriele admitted to police that for some time he had been meeting with a journalist and slipping him sensitive papers, including letters to the Pope.
He told the inquiry he never received payment for the documents, but felt he was acting for the good of the Church and as an agent of the Holy Spirit.
‘I saw evil and corruption everywhere in the Church,’ Gabriele said in his testimony, explaining how he felt the pope was not sufficiently informed of such matters.
‘I was sure that a shock, perhaps by using the media, could be a healthy thing to bring the Church back on the right track.’
