NEW FIND IN EGYPT!
Edgar Cayce Team Finds Ancient Passageways –
Underground Caves Beneath the Pyramids

This exciting new discovery actually began in 2002 when the British Museum needed to relocate its library and archives of the Department of Ancient Egypt and Sudan. During the move, memoirs of Henry Salt, British Consul General in Egypt from 1816 until his death in 1827, were rediscovered. Some extracts had been published in the early 1800s, but it was only when the British Museum reproduced the complete work in The Sphinx Revealed, A Forgotten Record of Pioneering Excavations that Salt’s amazing exploration of catacombs under the Giza Plateau were fully understood. Salt, in the company of Italian anthropologist Giovanni Caviglia, with whom he worked, conducted these underground explorations in 1816-17. Salt wrote in his journal that the underground passageways stretched beneath the plateau for at least several hundred yards and connected to four hewn chambers, from which emerged various “labyrinth- ick” passages.

One possible entrance to these catacombs is a rock-cut tomb in the plateau’s northern cliff-face, west of the Great Pyramid. In 1837, Sir Howard Vyse and engineer John Shae Perring investigated this entrance. It is this entrance that has been rediscovered by British explorer and author Andrew Collins.

Collins, funded by the Edgar Cayce Center’s Archeological Research Fund, and his team consisting of British Egyptological researcher Nigel Skinner Simpson and Collins’s wife Sue, found the entrance and managed to enter the massive cave system and journey 328 feet into the system under the plateau.
