Mysterious L-shaped structure found near Giza pyramids baffles scientists

Scientists have unearthed an L-shaped structure found underground in the western cemetery near the pyramids at Giza may be an entrance to a mysterious deeper feature below it. There is an area in the middle of the cemetery where no aboveground structures have been found. To search for remains in this area, the team used a technique called electrical resistivity tomography (ERT). The scientists found an anomaly roughly 6.5 feet (2 meters) beneath the surface. It appears to be an L-shaped structure measuring at least 33 feet (10 m) in length. There are L-shaped offering chapels at Giza, but these are usually aboveground, and Peter Der Manuelian, a professor of Egyptology at Harvard University who was not involved in the study, told Live Science in an email that "I'm not sure just what this anomaly represents yet, but it is certainly worthy of further exploration."
