The British newspaper "Express" published a report about an American archaeologist claiming that it had found two sites of undiscovered pyramids in Egypt, thanks to satellite images. The American scientist identified the two sites along the Nile basin, a difference of 90 miles, both containing unusually shaped hills.
Angela Miquel, an archaeologist, has excitingly claimed that they are two lost pyramid sites in Egypt, after spending 10 years studying Google Earth, where one of the discoveries was measured which she says is three times the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza.
The first site is located next to the Nile in Upper Egypt, 12 miles from the city of Abu Sidham and the second 90 miles north, and contains a four-sided shape with a width of 140 feet. The second site contained a triangular plateau with a width of 620 feet, almost three times the size of the Great Pyramid in Giza, making it the largest discovery ever.
"After a careful examination of the composition, it appears that this hill has a very flat surface and coined an oddly symmetrical triangle that has severely eroded over time," Miquel wrote on Google Earth Anomalies in 2012.
"The second site has a distinct square center, which is very unusual for a hill of this size and it looks almost hierarchical when seen from above."
In an interview with Sky News in the same year, she added that there are also three smaller hills "similar to the Qatari alignment of the pyramids of the Giza Plateau."
She added: "It is very clear what the sites may contain, but there is a need to conduct field research to verify that they are in fact missing pyramids."
But Egyptologists were not convinced of this, claiming that they are in fact geological features known as the "rock witness." They are common structures in the Fayoum desert, shaped like hills when a pile of sediments contains a layer that is difficult to erode.
And when the sediments surrounding gradually erode, this resistance layer is left on top, making the hill level.
James Harrell, Professor Emeritus of Archeology at the University of Toledo, told Live Science, these discoveries “are examples of natural rock formations that may be confused with archaeological features provided there is no burden on any archeology or geology In other words, its pyramids are only wishful thinking by an ignorant observer with excessive imagination.
