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.
