Google Earth discovers 'lost pyramid complexes' in Egypt

Washington, August 13: An archaeologist claimed to have discovered two new possible pyramid complexes in Egypt with a large mound almost three times the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Archaeology researcher Angela Micol from Maiden, North Carolina has been conducting satellite archaeology research for over ten years, searching for ancient sites from space using Google earth satellite imagery programme and she found two pyramid complexes in Egypt.

The sites have been verified as 'undiscovered' by Egyptologist and pyramid expert Nabil Selim, the Discovery News reported.

"Located about 90 miles (144 kilometres) apart, the sites contain unusual grouping of mounds with intriguing features and orientations," Angela Micol said.

One site in Upper Egypt, just 19 kilometres from the city of Abu Sidhum along the Nile, features four mounds each with a larger, triangular-shaped plateau.

The two larger mounds at this site are approximately 76.2 metres in width, with two smaller mounds approximately 30.48 metres in width.

The site complex is arranged in a very clear formation with the large mound extending a width of approximately 188 metres almost three times the size of the Great Pyramid.

The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis bordering what is now El Giza, Egypt. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

"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,"

Micol wrote in the website Google Earth Anomalies.

The second possible pyramid complex some 144 kilometres north near the Fayoum oasis, contains a four-sided, truncated mound that is approximately 45 metres wide.

"Located just 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometres) south east of the ancient town of Dimai, the site also contains three smaller mounds in a very clear formation, similar to the diagonal alignment of the Giza Plateau pyramids," Micol said.

"The images speak for themselves. It's very obvious what the sites may contain but field research is needed to verify they are, in fact, pyramids," Micol said.

The Egyptian sites have been sent to Egyptologists and researchers for further investigation.

In meeting with Zohran Mamdani, Trump repeats claim he stopped India-Pak war

Agencies

November 22,2025

New York/Washington: US President Donald Trump has again claimed to have solved the conflict between India and Pakistan, repeating his assertion during a meeting with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani in the Oval Office.

Mamdani flew to Washington DC for his first meeting with Trump in the White House on Friday. Trump said he “enjoyed” the meeting, which he described as “great.”

During remarks in the Oval Office, with Mamdani standing next to him, Trump repeated his claim that he solved the May conflict between India and Pakistan.

"I did eight peace deals of countries, including India and Pakistan,” he said.

On Wednesday, Trump had said he threatened to put 350 per cent tariffs on India and Pakistan if they did not end their conflict, repeating his claim that he solved the fighting between the nuclear-armed neighbours and that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had called him to say “we're not going to go to war.”

Since May 10, when Trump announced on social media that India and Pakistan had agreed to a “full and immediate” ceasefire after a “long night” of talks mediated by Washington, he has repeated his claim over 60 times that he “helped settle” the tensions between India and Pakistan.

India has consistently denied any third-party intervention. India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians. India and Pakistan reached an understanding on May 10 to end the conflict after four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes.

Mamdani emerged victorious in the closely-watched battle for New York City Mayor, becoming the first South Asian and Muslim to be elected to sit at the helm of the largest city in the US.

He had been the front-runner in the NYC Mayoral election for months and defeated Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa and political heavyweight former New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent candidate and was officially endorsed by Trump just hours before the elections.

Indian-descent Mamdani is the son of renowned filmmaker Mira Nair and Columbia University professor Mahmood Mamdani. He was born and raised in Kampala, Uganda and moved to New York City with his family when he was 7. Mamdani became a naturalised US citizen only recently, in 2018.
