The location of a golden chest believed to hold the original version of the Ten Commandments has long been a mystery, with many people doubting that it ever existed at all. But CIA documents claims the Ark of the Covenant was found in the 1980s, by people who were involved in the government’s controversial remote viewing program, which implemented a psychic training regimen that helped participants unlock hidden powers of clairvoyance (the ability to see into the future, or to perceive objects or events that were outside the range of the normal senses).

According to biblical accounts, the Ark of the Covenant was constructed by the Israelites soon after their exodus from Egypt, around the 15th century BC. Moses is said to have placed the Ten Commandments inside the sacred chest, to ensure their safety and preservation. But the location of the Ark, assuming it really exists, was lost in time long ago.

During the 1980s, the CIA (along with other intelligence agencies, like the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)) conducted many experiments with remote viewing, which those who were closest to the program have long maintained produced real successes. In Project Stargate, remote viewers were asked to locate people or objects wherever they might be in the world, and at times they were even tasked with viewing locations that were off-planet, such as the Moon and Mars. In many instances the readings were carried out blindly, meaning the remote viewers were given a set of map coordinates and then asked to visit these places with their mind and describe what they saw.

• Tiresias, Blinded by the Gods and Blessed with Second Sight

One of these tests involved a participant, identified as Remote Viewer No. 032, was secretly tasked with finding the Ark of the Covenant (he wasn’t told what he was looking for, but was only asked to view what he could find at certain coordinates).

What the man described did in fact seem to fit the description of the Ark, and his sessions were considered a success. This remote viewer seemingly confirmed the Ark of the Covenant was concealed somewhere in the Middle East, apparently validating the information that had led to him being given a particular set of coordinates in the first place.

Historians generally believe the Ark was once stored within the Holy of Holies, the most sacred inner chamber of the ancient Temple of Jerusalem. However, it vanished from historical records following the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BC. Some legends suggest the artifact was secretly taken to Ethiopia, where it is said to remain in a local church. Despite ongoing theories, no definitive evidence of the Ark has been found. But the CIA document, which was declassified in 2000 and has finally come to light now, asserts that the sacred relic was in fact located 37 years ago—although obviously it remains unrecovered.

Remote Viewing the Ark’s Location

The CIA document recounts the results of a session in which the remote viewer described the target as "a container" housing another container within it. The report further details that the object was composed of wood, gold, and silver and featured the depiction of a six-winged angel.

The viewer identified the object as resembling a coffin and stated that it was situated somewhere in the Middle East. Additionally, they noted the presence of Arabic-speaking individuals in the surrounding area. Notably, the participant was unaware before the session that they were searching for the lost Ark, and the coordinates they were given were such that it was impossible to tell where on the globe the artifact was suspected of being.

Biblical tradition holds that this gold-covered wooden chest was crafted around 1445 BC. The Ten Commandments, which were inscribed on stone tablets, were given to Moses by God and contained foundational laws, such as "thou shalt not kill" and "honor thy mother and father."

Many scholars suggest that the Ark remained within the ancient temple for centuries, during which time only the High Priest of the Israelites was permitted to view it, and only on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism. Then, at some point, it vanished without a trace, meaning it might have been either been stolen or moved in secret to a more secure location to protect it from thieves.

Despite its unknown fate, the declassified CIA report—linked to the secretive "Project Sun Streak"—suggests that US intelligence agencies were interested in finding the Ark, and were relatively convinced that their remote viewer had done so.

Project Sun Streak Exposed

In the 1970s and 1980s, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and other intelligence organizations, including the CIA, employed individuals who reportedly possessed paranormal abilities to acquire intelligence on distant events.

(United States Central Intelligence Agency).

Project Sun Streak was one such initiative that sought to use remote viewers to identify and gather intelligence on distant locations through a process of psychic visualization (clairvoyance), essentially relying on their ability to project their consciousness outside of their bodies. Remote viewers were tasked with a range of operations, including tracking fugitives and locating hostages held by terrorist organizations.

The existence of this project gained renewed public attention after it was discussed in a recent episode of the Ninjas are Butterflies podcast. Podcast host Josh Hooper initially dismissed Project Sun Streak as a hoax, but was surprised to find official documentation of the program, and the eye-opening Ark of the Covenant session on the CIA’s website.

"I was like... 'what am I looking at?'" Hooper said, in an interview with the Daily Mail.

The CIA document describes a training exercise that took place on December 5, 1988. During the session, a remote viewer projected their consciousness beyond their physical self in an effort to locate the Ark of the Covenant, recording their perceptions along the way. "What he wrote was bone-chilling," Hooper commented.

The remote viewer detailed that the artifact was hidden underground in a dark and damp location. Their observations suggested the Ark played a role in uniting people and held a spiritual and ceremonial significance. They also believed it contained profound historical knowledge not yet understood.

Furthermore, the viewer claimed that the Ark was guarded by powerful entities and could only be accessed by those deemed worthy. The document stated that when the correct time arrived, the locking mechanism would be found to be relatively simple. However, anyone attempting to force it open improperly would be "destroyed by the container’s protectors through the use of a power unknown to us."

The declassified report includes sketches and handwritten notes from the remote viewing session. Among these drawings are images of what appear to be architectural features, a domed mosque, eight figures resembling mummies, a wheel, and a winged creature referred to as a seraphim. The document also contains lists of cryptic words such as "death," "forbidden," "protected," "sacred," "destroyed," "pain," and "anguish."

Theories Abound, but Still No Ark

Some researchers speculate that the Ark of the Covenant may be hidden somewhere in Ethiopia. Although the remote viewer placed it in the Middle East, Ethiopia is home to a sizable Arabic-speaking population and has numerous mosques.

A longstanding Ethiopian religious legend holds that the Ark was brought to the country by Menelik, believed to be the son of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon. The Queen of Sheba, who hailed from Ethiopia, ruled over a kingdom that included parts of modern-day Yemen. According to the legend, Menelik journeyed to Jerusalem to study under his father and ultimately took the Ark with him back to Aksum, Ethiopia, where it was placed in the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion.

British scholar Edward Ullendorff, an expert in Semitic languages and Ethiopian studies, claimed to have seen the Ark inside the church during World War II. However, in 2018, historian Tudor Parfitt disputed this assertion, stating that what Ullendorff actually saw was merely a replica.

Parfitt explained, "What he saw was what you find in any Ethiopian church, which is a model of the Ark of the Covenant." He further noted that Ullendorff had remarked that the artifact "didn't differ in any way from many arks he had seen in other churches in Ethiopia," and it was "neither ancient nor the original Ark."

Despite centuries of speculation, the true fate of this sacred relic remains an unsolved mystery, waiting for definitive evidence to emerge. While the CIA document is extremely intriguing, the information it produced did not produce a specific address or landmark where the Ark might be located, so no rescue operation could be mounted. But if the information obtained by the remote viewer is correct and not just a product of his imagination, it means that the Ark does definitely exist and it is being kept safe and sound somewhere in the Middle East, which could narrow the range of a future search to at least some degree.

Project Serpo: The Secret Alien Exchange Program Where Only 7 of 12 Returned

One of the most astonishing and controversial stories in the history of alleged extraterrestrial contact is the Zeta Reticuli Exchange Program, more widely known as Project Serpo. This secret mission, allegedly orchestrated by the U.S. government, involved sending twelve military personnel on a ten-year journey to an alien planet located in the Zeta Reticuli star system. The mission ended with only seven returning—sparking decades of speculation, mystery, and conspiracy.

Origins of Project Serpo

The idea for an exchange program reportedly began in the 1950s, following years of interaction between U.S. intelligence agencies and a race of extraterrestrials known as the Ebens. These beings, believed to be survivors of the 1947 Roswell incident, maintained contact with Earth and eventually proposed a unique collaboration: a cultural and scientific exchange.

By 1963, following President Kennedy’s interest in space exploration and secrecy surrounding extraterrestrial encounters, formal communication with the Ebens intensified. A planned landing was scheduled, and on April 24, 1964, two alien crafts arrived—one landing in the wrong location near Corona, New Mexico, and the other later successfully touching down near Holloman Air Force Base.

Selection and Training of the Team

To prepare for the mission, the U.S. military called for volunteers through classified channels. Around 600 personnel responded. The list was narrowed to 16, and ultimately, 12 men were selected to take part in the exchange. The criteria were strict: no close family ties, psychological resilience, and a diverse range of skills including medicine, science, and navigation.

Training took place at top-secret facilities, including Fort Belvoir, CIA’s “The Farm”, and abroad in locations such as Mexico and Chile. Subjects included astronomy, alien language basics, survival, and even acclimation techniques for unknown atmospheric conditions.

Departure and Journey to Serpo

The departure took place on July 16, 1965, at the Nevada Test Site near the infamous Area 51. The alien spacecraft that arrived was capable of transporting 40 tons of equipment, including vehicles, supplies, and gear. The Americans boarded the ship, along with their supplies, and began a 10-month journey through deep space.

Traveling at speeds over 40 times the speed of light, the crew experienced disorientation and health issues. To protect them, they were placed in individual “bubbles” that stabilized their biological systems. Time itself became distorted—many lost track of days and nights, and standard timekeeping devices eventually failed. The crew had to adapt to Eben time, based on their planet’s 43-hour day.

Life on Planet Serpo

Upon arrival, the Americans were greeted by the Ebens and gradually introduced to life on their planet. The environment was harsh, with extreme heat near the equator—reaching up to 140°F (60°C)—and two suns illuminating the sky, making nighttime virtually nonexistent. Eventually, the team relocated to a more temperate area known as “Little Montana”, featuring forests, water, and cooler temperatures.

The Ebens lived in simple dwellings, practiced no form of currency, and relied on a communal system for distributing food and resources. Their diet was vegetarian, with food grown hydroponically. Though initially tasteless to the Americans, some foods were noted to have healing properties, particularly during times of illness.

One striking aspect of Eben life was their use of light-based healing technologies, often involving a blue light that could rejuvenate or cure ailments. Their society emphasized peace, balance, and compassion.

Technological Discoveries

Throughout the mission, the Americans observed and interacted with Eben technology. Among the most fascinating items was the Yellow Book, a holographic device that displayed historical events on Earth in 3D form. This device could interpret the viewer’s language and respond accordingly.

Power sources on Serpo included anti-matter energy systems, with one component described as a “crystal rectangle” that adapted its energy output based on demand. This technology, capable of delivering precise voltages, was brought back to Earth and studied for military and scientific applications.

Challenges and Ethical Dilemmas

Despite the scientific breakthroughs, the mission faced significant challenges. One crew member, designated 308, died during the voyage due to a pulmonary embolism. Later, the team learned that his body had been used by the Ebens for cloning experiments, producing a hybrid life form—a revelation that disturbed many and raised ethical concerns about the nature of the exchange.

The Americans were asked not to kill local animals, but some did out of a need for meat. In one case, a snake-like creature with human-like eyes was killed and dissected, revealing a surprisingly human biological structure. This incident, along with other interactions, underlined the profound biological differences and similarities between species.

Return to Earth

Although the mission was planned for ten years, the Americans overstayed due to confusion about the Eben calendar and timekeeping. Only seven members returned to Earth in 1978. The rest had either died or chose to remain on Serpo. Those who came back were quarantined, debriefed, and lived out their remaining years in isolation.

Conclusion

Whether seen as fact, science fiction, or government cover-up, the Zeta Reticuli Exchange Program remains one of the most elaborate and captivating stories of extraterrestrial engagement ever told. The idea that Earth once engaged in a peaceful and cooperative exchange with an alien civilization opens profound questions about our place in the universe, our technological potential, and our willingness to explore the unknown.

If true, Project Serpo is more than a tale—it’s a reflection of humanity’s deepest curiosities and greatest hopes for contact beyond the stars.

Lunar-Like Rock Discovered Deep in the Utah Mountains, March 29, 2025, UFO UAP Sighting News.

Hey all. While hiking nearly five miles into the remote mountains of Utah, I came across a truly bizarre rock unlike anything I’ve seen before. The area was completely isolated—no one around for miles. The stone is unusually heavy for its size, with a pale gray interior that closely resembles known lunar meteorites and a dark, crust-like exterior that hints at high atmospheric heat. What really caught my attention is that it’s completely non-magnetic, which lines up with rare achondrite meteorites, including those originating from the Moon. Is this a fragment of another world that crash-landed in Utah centuries ago? I’m sharing close-up photos here—take a look and decide for yourself.

Watch this short video, and you see a huge glowing sphere over some mountains of Kent, England. It was recorded at 10pm and does have too powerful of a glow to be any type of known aircraft and its just sitting there as if it came from a tunnel from below the ground from a deep alien base. This if short, but its magnificent evidence that UFOs do have powerful colors when they choose too.

Pure White Ball Stops Mid-Air—Eyewitness Captures It on Video! UFO UAP Sighting News.

Date of sighting: March 27, 2025

Location of sighting: Carrollton, Georgia, USA

 

Hey, this just in. A white sphere shot across the sky but stopped when  it noticed a human below watching it. This is something I don't get to say too often, but really should. Orbs are curious about us and curious about how we would react to them once we see them. You see, everyone reacts differently, so an orb might reveal itself to few thousand people far away and maybe a dozen close up...meaning a few meters away. The colors change depending on the lighting and the distance, but they always...I repeat...alway look white far away during the day. Often called cloud orbs, because they zoom in and out of the clouds gathering information and yes...reading thoughts of the humans below. No not insane, I experienced it first hand two meters from me so don't even go there. Close up the orbs look like grapefruit size slowly swirling grey, dark grey and white combination. But not like smoke, more like white paint, with grey metallic sparkly paint and dark non sparkly color. I remember being slightly shocked when I saw the darkness in the orb, I wondered if it was its anger or emotions being visible...and worried I angered it, but when I grabbed my tripod and flung around my camera it shot 50-75 meters and held position...now only appearing like a white dot on my video. I frightened it.

Some days ago we wrote about recent satellite scans which have revealed massive structures buried up to two kilometers beneath the Giza Plateau, particularly beneath the Pyramid of Khafre. Researchers speculate that these hidden formations may not only contain undiscovered chambers, possibly linked to the legendary Hall of Records but that these subterranean structures could also function similarly to Nikola Tesla's coil, suggesting that they may have once served as colossal power plants, generating and distributing energy on a grand scale. 

This revelation has reignited interest in the prophecies of Edgar Cayce, often called the "Sleeping Prophet." Cayce predicted the existence of an underground chamber, known as the Hall of Records, containing lost knowledge from Atlantis, hidden beneath the Sphinx. He also spoke of a powerful energy grid, which he believed once existed in the region. 

In the 1930s, Cayce’s psychic readings described Atlantis as a technologically advanced civilization, (Could it be that the Atlanteans were the previous civilization that was on Earth?) that collapsed around 10,500 BC due to corruption and the misuse of power. According to him, survivors of this catastrophe fled to Egypt, where they shared knowledge of engineering, spirituality, and civilization-building. Cayce suggested that these Atlantean refugees played a pivotal role in constructing the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx shortly after their arrival. 

Suppose that the Atlanteans indeed contributed to these monumental structures, could they have collaborated not only with the local inhabitants but also with giant humanoids who once roamed the Earth? 

Cayce described the Hall of Records as an underground chamber situated between the Sphinx and the Nile River, with its entrance concealed near the Sphinx’s right paw. He claimed the hall contained inscriptions in both Atlantean and Egyptian scripts and was designed in a pyramid-like shape. He further prophesied that its discovery would coincide with a period of global upheaval and transformation. 

Despite extensive archaeological investigations, definitive proof of the Hall of Records remains elusive. However, as early as the 1990s, ground-penetrating radar detected anomalies and hollow spaces beneath the Sphinx. With advancements in technology and the recent satellite scans, could Cayce's predictions, regarding a powerful energy grid and the Hall of Records containing lost Atlantean knowledge, prove to be true? 

As scientific inquiry continues, we may be on the verge of uncovering secrets buried deep beneath the pyramids, potentially reshaping our understanding of history.

Lacerta’s Final Warning: Reptilian Secrets, UFO Crashes & Hidden Human-Alien Deals

In the final installment of the enigmatic Lacerta Files, a being claiming to be a member of an ancient reptilian species steps forward to deliver what may be her most striking testimony yet. Known only as Lacerta, this reptilian entity offers a glimpse into a hidden world, not beyond the stars, but beneath our very feet—an underground civilization that, according to her, has existed for tens of thousands of years, far from human eyes.

A Glimpse into the Underground World

Lacerta begins by painting a vivid picture of her subterranean homeland, a vast, dome-shaped habitat deep beneath the Earth’s surface. Her descriptions include advanced technology, self-sustaining energy sources, agricultural systems, and intricate social structures—all tucked away beneath the crust of our planet.

This underground world, according to Lacerta, is one of many colonies spread across the globe. These settlements have been engineered with precision: artificial suns emit UV light for warmth and photosynthesis, and domed structures regulate air, water, and even gravity. The reptilian species, she says, have evolved to thrive in this environment, maintaining both biological independence and technological superiority.

Meeting “E” – Trust Beyond Species

For the first time, Lacerta opens up about how she met “E,” the human responsible for recording her words. The encounter, she explains, was not planned. While conducting surface research in a remote forest, she stumbled upon a lone cabin. Inside was E, a man whose personality and open-mindedness intrigued her. Despite orders not to initiate contact with humans, Lacerta’s curiosity got the better of her.

Disguised using what she calls “mimicry,” Lacerta began engaging with E in casual conversation, slowly building trust over multiple encounters. Eventually, she revealed her true form—an act that shocked but did not alienate E. Their relationship evolved into a series of deeper discussions about science, religion, and the nature of human existence, ultimately leading to the publication of her accounts.

The Dark Truth Behind UFO Crashes

Perhaps the most disturbing part of Lacerta’s testimony is her explanation of UFO crashes—a topic often met with ridicule or mystery. According to her, many of these incidents, including the infamous Roswell crash of 1947, were not random malfunctions. Instead, they were tied to covert arrangements between certain human governments and alien species.

Lacerta claims that between 1946 and 1953, at least five extraterrestrial craft crashed on Earth. The crashes were attributed not to mechanical failures, but to Earth’s fluctuating magnetic fields—conditions unfamiliar to the alien craft’s design. Still, the bigger revelation lies in what happened after the crashes.

According to Lacerta, these events sparked a relationship between human authorities and an alien species—one she categorizes as hostile. In exchange for advanced technology, these extraterrestrials were granted something far more intimate: access to human biological material. This agreement allegedly gave non-human entities permission to observe, experiment on, and even abduct humans, all under the guise of scientific research.

• https://youtu.be/-VXS9kHdHrE

Over time, these deals soured. Lacerta reveals that by the late 1970s, tensions had escalated due to technological deceptions and violations of the treaty terms. Eventually, this culminated in armed confrontations at underground bases, and the withdrawal of direct alien support.

The Implications of Lacerta’s Story

If Lacerta’s words are to be taken at face value, the implications are staggering. Her testimony suggests that human history, technological advancement, and even our position in the cosmos are far more manipulated than we dare to believe. From underground civilizations to interspecies treaties, the Lacerta Files propose a reality in which humanity is not the apex of intelligence on this planet, but merely one of many players in a much larger game.

Still, Lacerta insists that her people will not interfere. She urges humans to evolve, to think critically, and to question narratives—especially those handed down through fear and control. Her final message? “You are free spirits. Learn to free yourselves from the chains of ancient conditioning.”

UAP Whistleblower David Grusch Joins Congressman Eric Burlison as Senior Adviser

In a development that could significantly impact ongoing investigations into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), David Grusch, the former intelligence official known for his explosive whistleblower testimony about non-human craft, is set to become a senior adviser to Congressman Eric Burlison (R-Mo.). Burlison is a key member of the House Oversight Committee and the UAP Task Force, both of which are actively involved in efforts to increase transparency surrounding the U.S. government’s knowledge of UAPs.

From Whistleblower to Congressional Adviser

David Grusch gained national attention in 2023 after publicly alleging that the U.S. government possesses retrieved craft of non-human origin, a claim that sparked widespread interest and controversy. In interviews and sworn testimony, Grusch asserted that secret programs have existed for years, involving the collection and reverse engineering of crashed or landed extraterrestrial vehicles. While he was limited in what he could say publicly due to national security protocols, his claims captured the attention of Congress and the general public alike.

Now, in a major shift, Grusch will step into an official role within Capitol Hill, lending his expertise directly to lawmakers as they navigate the complex and often classified world of UAP-related investigations.

Why This Role Matters

Congressman Burlison has been one of several lawmakers—including Representatives Tim Burchett, Anna Paulina Luna, and Jared Moskowitz—who have aggressively pursued answers about UAPs. By bringing Grusch onto his team, Burlison is gaining a uniquely knowledgeable adviser who understands both the bureaucratic landscape of intelligence agencies and the classified nature of UAP data.

Grusch’s role could be instrumental in helping lawmakers ask the right questions, identify credible leads, and pursue legislative strategies aimed at disclosure. Many members of Congress have expressed frustration over not knowing how to move forward or which threads to pull when it comes to the UAP issue. Grusch’s insider knowledge could bridge that gap.

Possible Increase in Security Clearance

As a congressional staffer, Grusch may now be eligible for increased security clearance, potentially allowing him to access or discuss more sensitive information behind closed doors. This could be a key factor in unlocking further testimony or documents that have so far remained out of reach due to classification restrictions.

Grusch has previously stated that certain details about UAP-related programs could only be revealed in classified settings. If granted higher clearance, his ability to share these insights with members of Congress could help push the UAP investigation into new territory.

A Turning Point in UAP Transparency?

This move marks a significant milestone in the UAP transparency movement. For the first time, a prominent whistleblower with direct knowledge of alleged non-human craft will work inside the legislative process, rather than merely testifying to it.

As congressional interest in UAPs grows and the public continues to demand answers, David Grusch’s new role could provide both direction and credibility to ongoing efforts. Whether this leads to new revelations or policy changes remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the conversation around UAPs just got a lot more serious.

EXCLUSIVE  - Experts now even more confident a 'vast city' exists under Giza Pyramids in Egypt after new discovery

• READ MORE:  Scientists reveal new secrets about structures under pyramid

By STACY LIBERATORE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Scientists on a mission to prove a 'vast city' sits more than 4,000 feet below Egypt's Giza Pyramids have released a new analysis they say proves the findings to be true.

Last week, the team in Italy presented bombshell research that claimed to have discovered multi-thousand-foot-tall wells and chambers under the Khafre Pyramid.

If true, it would turn Egyptian - and human - history on its head, though independent experts have said the discovery is 'completely wrong' and lacked any scientific basis

The wells and chambers were identified by sending 'high-frequency electromagnetic waves' into the subsurface, and the way signals bounced back allowed researchers to map structures beneath the pyramid.

The team used 'a specialized algorithm' to process the data and create the images that showed what looked like wells with spiral formations leading to enormous chambers.

They cross checked the structures with known architectural forms, 'specifically those accessible to us today, such as the Pozzo di San Patrizio in Italy,' Niccole Ciccole, the project's spokesperson, shared with Dailymail.com.

Professor Lawrence Conyers, a radar expert at the University of Denver who focuses on archaeology and was not involved in the study, said: 'To make correlation confidence levels there needs to be something to correlate to or compare to. 

'What could that be here? Without that, these percentages are meaningless scientifically.'

Scientists on a mission to prove a 'vast city' sits more than 4,000 feet below Egypt 's Giza Pyramid have released a new analysis they say proves the findings to be true

However, Professor Conyers suggested that it is conceivable that small structures, such as shafts and chambers, may exist beneath the pyramids, having been there before the pyramids were built, because the site was 'special to ancient people.'

He highlighted how 'the Mayans and other peoples in ancient Mesoamerica often built pyramids on top of the entrances to caves or caverns that had ceremonial significance to them.'

The team claimed they found eight wells and two enormous enclosures more than 2,000 feet below the base of the Khafre pyramid and 'an entire hidden world of many structures' another 2,000 feet below those

'I am skeptical of the deeper claims. If their 'algorithms' can do what they say (I can't comment on those), then perhaps this will hold up,' Professor Conyers said.

'A 'well' or 'tunnel' is what I would expect under a pyramid.'

The work by Corrado Malanga from Italy's University of Pisa, Filippo Biondi with the University of Strathclyde in Scotland and Egyptologist Armando Mei has not yet been published in a scientific journal for the review of independent experts. 

The team sent the analysis to DailyMail.com, where they admitted 'further validation is recommended through additional tomographic scans and in-situ verification.'

To determine if anything was hiding below the Pyramid of Khafre, they sent high-frequency waves (similar to how radar works) into the ground beneath the pyramid.

Researchers said they determined 'a confidence level well above 85 percent' that the 'structures identified beneath the Pyramid of Khafre, as well as those beneath other pyramids on the Giza Plateau,' exist. Pictured are six of the eight shafts and an underground room found

The wells and chambers were identified by sending 'high-frequency electromagnetic waves' into the subsurface, and the way signals bounced back allowed researchers to map structures beneath the Khafre pyramid (pictured)

When the waves smashed into something below the surface, they bounced back to the surface, and by looking at how the frequency of these waves changed, scientists could tell what kind of materials were underground.

However, Dr Zahi Hawass, Egypt's former minister of antiquities, told The National: 'The claim of using radar inside the pyramid is false, and the techniques employed are neither scientifically approved nor validated.'

The team said while they 'have the utmost respect for Egyptologists,' their 'findings are based on objective measurements obtained through advanced radar signal processing.' 

After gathering the data, researchers used a special algorithm that turned the information into vertical images of the ground beneath the pyramid, capturing the first look at the hidden structures.

One of the images 'exhibits a vertically elongated feature with varying intensity distributions, suggesting the presence of a deep well-like formation,' said Ciccole who has 25 years of experience in forensics. 

'The upper portion of the well reveals patterns indicative of potential helical or spiral formations, which could correspond to a staircase or a sloped passageway.'

She added that high-intensity reflections seen in the images suggested 'structured discontinuities that may align with step-like features.' 

'Preliminary estimations indicate that the well extends significantly underground, with notable signal variations at multiple depths,' Ciccole said, explaining it could indicate different materials or chambers at various levels.

'The helical feature aligns with descriptions of spiral-descending shafts found in other ancient structures.'

Professor Conyers said agreed in that spiral-descending shafts are found in other ancient structures, such as the Pyramid of Unas and certain Middle Kingdom tombs.

The team also believes the shafts and enclosures are around 38,000 years old. The pyramids were built around 4,500 years ago

After gathering the data, researchers used a special algorithm that turned the information into vertical images of the ground beneath the pyramid, capturing the first look at the hidden structures. Pictured are the eight wells under the pyramid

Researchers believe there are other structures reaching more than 4,000 feet below the surface. The scans captured structures extend along the northern side with a tuning fork shape

'We estimate a correlation confidence of 85 to 90 percent with the hypothesis of a helical staircase within the well,' said Ciccole.

The team also believes the structures were built around 38,00 years ago, which predates the oldest known man-made structure of its kind by tens of thousands of years.

They based the claim on ancient Egyptian text that they interpreted as historical records of a pre-existing civilization that was destroyed during a cataclysmic event, but Professor Conyers said: ''That is a really outlandish idea.'

He added that at that time in human history people 'were mostly living in caves' 38,000 years ago. 

Pictured are the researchers involved in the work: Armando Mei (left), Nicole Ciccolo (second left), Filippo Biondi (second right) and Corrado Malanga (right)

'People did not start living in what we now call cities until about 9,000 years ago,' he said. 'There were a few large villages before that but those only go back a few thousand years from that time.'

But researchers explained there was likely a pre-existing civilization that was destroyed during a cataclysmic event. 

The event is a theory about a massive asteroid hitting Earth around 13,500 years ago, causing global climate change and extinction worldwide.

While ice cores in Greenland and other geological data in the Atlantic Ocean point to such an event, scientists have largely dismissed it due to never finding an asteroid crater.

Researchers believe that ancient Egyptian text seen as myths are actually historical records of life before the cataclysmic event. 

They said chapter 149 of the Book of the Dead describes 14 dwellings of the divine which team interprets as describing remnants of an advanced civilization existing before dynastic Egypt.

Ciccolo said the team also used the Turn King List, or Royal Canon, which is an ancient Egyptian document that features the name of kings, including gods and demigods, who supposedly ruled Egypt before the first recorded dynasties.

Researchers believe that the god and demigods were actually living kings long before the first recorded pharaohs.

Ciccolo said these ancient texts 'provide a whole series of references that a pre-existing civilization' lived in the region before 'a cataclysmic event.'

CIA's covert hunt for Noah's Ark sparks new questions amid claims Biblical boat has been found

• READ MORE: Sacred text banned from the Bible reveals what really happened during Noah's Great Flood

By CHRIS MELORE, ASSISTANT SCIENCE EDITOR FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

After scientists recently claimed to locate Noah's Ark, an unearthed CIA document reveals that the agency knew where the Biblical ship has been for over 50 years.

A four-page report known as 'Report Re: Noah's Ark' details how the CIA secretly searched for the Ark's location for nearly a decade, hoping to prove the legend true.

According to the Bible, God commanded Noah to build a vast ship, the Ark, capable of saving himself, his family, and a pair of each of the world's animals from a Great Flood that wiped out all living things on Earth.

While Noah's story is known worldwide, no evidence of Ark has ever been found.

Scientists this month declared that a boat-shaped mound 18 miles south of Mount Ararat in Turkey is actually the fossilized remains of a massive vessel.

Soil samples showed traces of clay-like materials, marine deposits, and ancient remnants of marine life dating back to the time of Noah. The team also suggested that the findings showed human activities in around Mt Ararat.

The CIA file, declassified in 2002, appears to reveal that the US intelligence community has had their eyes on this exact spot since 1957.

The agency investigated Mt Ararat from 1974 to 1982 using images from satellites and spy planes after the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) requested for any evidence of the Ark sitting at the site.

A CIA document declassified in 2002 revealed that high-ranking government officials have been requesting information about the existence of Noah's Ark since 1974

Scientists say that a large boat-shaped geological structure could be the remains of Noah's Ark as new evidence shows the area was flooded 5,000 years ago 

The CIA papers details how requests to track down the Ark came from multiple individuals within the US government. 

DCI William Colby, who headed the CIA from 1973 to 1976, was ordered to develop and advanced technology looking for satellite photography of Mt Ararat in 1974.

The request came from Lt. Col. Walter Brown, a high ranking officials in the US Air Force, who was on a mission to determine 'whether any evidence of the Ark could be found.'

The reason the Air Force was interested in Noah's Ark was not given.

That set the hunt in motion. A U-2 spy plane was deployed to take images over Mt Ararat.

Satellites were also moved above the area to 'examine the glacier systems there to see whether any evidence of the Ark could be found,' the report states.

When intelligence officials inquired about the available information, they were told the aerial photography produced 'negative results.' 

However, Colby's request wouldn't be the last one the department would receive.

The Durupinar Formation roughly matches the shape and dimensions of the Ark given in the Bible. New analysis of soil samples from the area shows that this region was underwater 3,500 to 5,000 years ago, during the supposed time of the biblical flood 

Over the next eight years, the CIA  documented 10 more requests from high-profile individuals with ties to the government about Mt Ararat and Noah's Ark.

This included members of Congress, a former astronaut, and several officials from the DCI's Intelligence Community Staff.

In every instance, the CIA said that they had no evidence that Noah's Ark was located at the site on Mt Ararat.

In a 1994 memo, the CIA revealed that they were continuing to shut down Freedom of Information Act requests for pictures of Mt Ararat, adding that the agency had 'no efforts currently underway either to review other records or conduct additional searches for Noah's Ark.'

However, the latest work by researchers combing the area for signs of the Ark discovered a much different story.

This includes evidence that the mound really did experience a devastating flood 5,000 years ago.

Geologists strongly contest the theory and argue that the Durupinar Formation can be explained by natural physical processes 

According to the Bible, Noah's Ark saved humanity and all the animals from certain annihilation during an ancient flood 

Since 2021, scientists from Istanbul Technical University, Agri Ibrahim Cecen University, and Andrews University in Michigan have been studying the site as part of the Mount Ararat and Noah's Ark Research Team.

During the 7th International Symposium on Mount Ararat and Noah's Ark in 2023, researchers presented new evidence that could support their theory that the Durupinar Formation is an ancient ship.

The team took 30 samples of soil and rock from around the structure and sent them to the Istanbul Technical University for analysis.

Dating these samples uncovered that they were between 3,500 and 5,000 years-old - falling in line with the biblical account of the great flood Noah built his ship to survive.

According to literal interpretations of the Bible, the world was covered with water during the Chalcolithic period - a time stretching from 5500 to 3000 BC.

Despite claiming that there was no evidence of Noah's Ark at the site, these CIA repeatedly denied access to the surveillance photos, saying that the images were classified.

In each request, intelligence officials only mentioned the spy plane photos from 1957 and satellite photos from the initial 1974 query by DCI Colby.

It's not clear if the US government ever gathered more images of the area around Mt Ararat after 1974 - or if they had already seen everything they needed to by that time.

The Mount Ararat and Noah's Ark Research Team insist that more study is needed and confirm that the structure discovered in Turkey is truly Noah's Ark.

As for the CIA, what they knew or didn't know 50 years ago is still a mystery, at least for now.

Is Yellowstone's supervolcano about to erupt? Scientists discover a newly opened volcanic vent spewing steam into the air

• READ MORE: What life on Earth would look like  Yellowstone erupted 

By SHIVALI BEST FOR MAILONLINE 

Lying five miles beneath the surface of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming is a timebomb more than 640,000 years in the making.

The Yellowstone supervolcano is a vast reservoir of magma with the potential to unleash a category eight eruption over 100 times more powerful than Krakatoa.

Thankfully, Yellowstone has never erupted within recorded human history.

Scientists from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) have discovered a newly opened volcanic vent in Norris Geyser Basin. 

The vent is at the foot of a rhyloite lava flow, and is spewing hot steam up into the air.

'While driving south from Mammoth Hot Springs towards Norris Geyser Basin early on August 5 last summer, a park scientist noticed a billowing steam column through the trees and across a marshy expanse,' the USGS explained. 

'The eagle-eyed scientist notified the park geology team to verify if this was indeed new activity.'

Scientists from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) have discovered a newly opened volcanic vent in Norris Geyser Basin

The Yellowstone supervolcano is a vast reservoir of magma with the potential to unleash a category eight eruption over 100 times more powerful than Krakatoa 

The new vent was discovered last summer within a region called the Roadside Springs thermal area. 

Lying within a swath of warm, hydrothermally altered gound, approximately 200ft (60 metres) long, the new feature is about 9.8ft (three metres) below the marsh surface. 

Shortly after it was identified, park geologists visited the vent to get a closer look. 

There, they discoved a very thin veneer of grey silicious clay barely covering the ground, and temperatures of 77°C (171°F). 

According to the team, this indicates the new vent is 'very young' in nature. 

This isn't the first time that this type of hydrothermal activity has been spotted in the area.  

Back in 2003, a similar vent was spotted just on the other side of the same rhyolite lava flow. 

'Are the new feature and the activity that started in 2003 hydrologically connected?' USGS asked.

This isn't the first time that this type of hydrothermal activity has been spotted in the area. Back in 2003, a similar vent was spotted just on the other side of the same rhyolite lava flow

'Probably. 

'One could run a line along the axis of the older active area and it would intersect the new feature. 

'This line also follows the trend of faults that run from Norris Geyser Basin northward to Mammoth Hot Springs and beyond.'

The new vent continued to spew steam into the air through into the autumn, but gradually disappeared in the winter. 

'The feature remains active, but there is some water in the vent, decreasing the amount of steam that is released,' the experts added. 

'Whether or not the strong plume returns in the summer of 2025 remains to be seen.'

So far, geologists have mapped more than 100 major hydrothermal areas in Yellowstone National Park, as well as more than 10,000 within its boundaries. 

'The activity from these features waxes and wanes with time—you might even say that some of them pick up steam!' the experts joked. 

The new vent was discovered last summer within a region called the Roadside Springs thermal area

Thankfully, USGS reassures that there is still about 100,000 years to go before the supervolcano is likely to erupt. 

'In terms of large explosions, Yellowstone has experienced three at 2.08, 1.3, and 0.631 million years ago,' it explained. 

'This comes out to an average of about 725,000 years between eruptions. 

'That being the case, there is still about 100,000 years to go, but this is based on the average of just two time intervals between the eruptions, which is meaningless.'

COULD AN ERUPTION AT THE YELLOWSTONE SUPERVOLCANO BE PREVENTED?

Recent research found a small magma chamber, known as the upper-crustal magma reservoir, beneath the surface

Nasa believes drilling up to six miles (10km) down into the supervolcano beneath Yellowstone National Park to pump in water at high pressure could cool it.

Despite the fact that the mission would cost $3.46 billion (£2.63 billion), Nasa considers it 'the most viable solution.' 

Using the heat as a resource also poses an opportunity to pay for plan - it could be used to create a geothermal plant, which generates electric power at extremely competitive prices of around $0.10 (£0.08) per kWh.

But this method of subduing a supervolcano has the potential to backfire and trigger the supervolcanic eruption Nasa is trying to prevent.

'Drilling into the top of the magma chamber 'would be very risky;' however, carefully drilling from the lower sides could work. 

This USGS graphic shows how a 'super eruption' of the molten lava under Yellowstone National Park would spread ash across the United States

Even besides the potential devastating risks, the plan to cool Yellowstone with drilling is not simple.

Doing so would be an excruciatingly slow process that one happen at the rate of one metre a year, meaning it would take tens of thousands of years to cool it completely. 

And still, there wouldn't be a guarantee it would be successful for at least hundreds or possibly thousands of years.

Is this the secret to limitless clean energy? Scientists claim we can produce power from Earth's ROTATION

• READ MORE:  Wind overtakes gas as Britain's biggest source of electricity 

By XANTHA LEATHAM DEPUTY SCIENCE EDITOR

While we go about our days – working, eating and sleeping – the Earth is constantly rotating through its own magnetic field.

Now, experts claim it is possible to harvest clean energy from this natural rhythm.

Scientists have managed to take advantage of the Earth's spin to generate a tiny amount of electricity.

Although the voltage they managed to produce was small, it could be the first step towards a new way to generate limitless green energy, they said.

The idea dates back hundreds of years, when scientists first began to suggest that the difference in velocity – the speed of something in a given direction - between a magnetic field and its magnet should could allow for a voltage to form.

Previous studies appear to have debunked this theory – indicating that any electrons pushed by the Earth's magnetic field would quickly rearrange themselves and cancel out any difference in charge.

However, a new experiment suggests otherwise.

Researchers used a 29.9cm-long hollow cylinder made from manganese-zinc ferrite – a material chosen to encourage the motion of magnetic fields.

Earth's magnetic field — also known as the geomagnetic field — is generated in our planet's interior and extends out into space (stock image)

The researchers used a custom-designed cylinder - the design shown here - to harvest electricity

The scientists managed to take advantage of the Earth's spin to generate a tiny amount of electricity (stock image)

This cylinder was placed in a pitch black, windowless lab to minimise any interference from light, and angled in a way so it was at a 90 degree angle to Earth's rotation and magnetic field.

Although the object was stationary in the lab, the lab itself was being carried by Earth's rotation through its own magnetic field.

This produced a magnetic force on the electrons in the object – and analysis revealed a voltage of 19 microvolts was recorded.

The team, from Princeton University and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said this voltage disappeared when the cylinder was set at a different angle or a different cylinder was used – suggesting it was being generated by Earth's rotation.

They described the findings as 'initial proof-of-concept results' and warned people to hold off celebrating for now.

However, they said their results 'provide a starting point for future investigations into ways to passively generate larger amounts of current and voltage using Earth's magnetic field'.

Writing in the journal Physical Review Research the scientists said: 'Could electricity be generated from Earth's rotation through its own magnetic field?

'Controlling for thermoelectric and other potentially confounding effects, we show that this small demonstration system generates a continuous DC voltage and current of the predicted magnitude.' 

Nuclear power plants, like this one pictured in China, are also part of the drive towards cleaner, greener energy (stock photo) 

Recent years have heralded a huge push towards clean energy, with a focus on shifting away from sources that release greenhouse gases in a bid to avoid the worst effects of climate change.

Historically, fossil fuels such as coal have made up a significant amount of the energy used globally for electricity, heating and cooking.

Experts say a shift towards more clean and renewable energy sources – such as wind power and solar power – is crucial.

This could also include geothermal energy, which utilises heat from the Earth’s interior, and hydropower, which harnesses the energy of waves.

Meanwhile, a move towards nuclear energy is also gaining momentum. 

According to the World Nuclear Association, this form of power now provides about 10 per cent of the world’s electricity.

It is generated by splitting atoms – a process called nuclear fission - that releases heat when boils water into steam.

This then spins turbines to produce electricity.

No carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases are released, meaning many consider it a viable alternative to fossil fuels.

While nuclear power is non-renewable – there is only a finite amount of nuclear fuel in the world – only small amounts are needed to produce large amounts of electricity.

• READ MORE: Loch Ness research centre is hiring a full-time Nessie hunter

By MICHAEL HAVIS FOR MAILONLINE

Nessie's body has been caught on camera, a monster hunter claims, after a mysterious black hump was filmed rising and sinking in the water.

Eoin O'Faodhagain was watching for the mythical beast via webcam when he spotted something in Loch Ness roughly the size of a small car.

He said: 'I was intrigued when I spotted it, and said to myself 'what the hell is that moving out there causing such a disturbance?'

'I noticed a large wake moving steadily across the loch, more than half a mile out from the shoreline.

'On occasions, a large black round hump was visible out of the water in front of the wake.'

For a moment, he dismissed it as a boat.

But then something unexpected happened – it disappeared beneath the water.

He said: 'At first I thought it might be the black rubber speedboat out of Fort Augustus that zips around, bringing tourists out onto the loch at terrific speed.

Nessie's body has been caught on camera, a monster hunter claims, after a mysterious black hump was filmed rising and sinking in the water

Eoin O'Faodhagain was watching for the mythical beast via webcam when he spotted something in Loch Ness roughly the size of a small car

'But observing this black round hump, it appeared and disappeared throughout the entirety of the video clip.

'At the end, the wake just fizzled out and the loch returned to its calm nature.'

For Mr O'Faodhagain, 60, it left only one explanation.

He said: 'You could not compare this sighting to a boat, as when it ended there was nothing to see on the surface – only flat calm water.

'My instinct then was this could possibly be a sighting of the Loch Ness Monster.

'I assume the hump-shaped object is a front body part of the creature, and the rest of it is beneath the surface.

'The creature moved briskly with a purpose in mind.'

The sighting was captured using a webcam maintained by Visit Inverness Loch Ness (VILN) at Shoreland Lodges, near Fort Augustus on the loch's southern shore.

To gauge the size of the hump, Eoin compared it with another image taken by the same camera, showing the Spirit of Loch Ness – a 21-metre long tourist boat.

He said: 'The Spirit of Loch Ness uses that far shore route when it leaves Fort Augustus, and it always looks like a squeezed-up square.

'The creature's hump sticking out of the water was quite large, especially taking in the distance from the webcam to the object.

'At times in the video, I would estimate the black round hump to be four to five feet out of the water, and 12 feet long.'

Mr O'Faodhagain often logs on to watch the water from his home in County Donegal, Ireland.

Over the years, he's racked up multiple entries in the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register.

But even to him this latest encounter stood out.

He said: 'This is not a regular occurrence on Loch Ness.

'It was there, then it was gone as quick, then the loch returned to its calm tranquillity.'

The VILN webcams can be watched live online at visitinvernesslochness.com

What IS the Loch Ness Monster?

Rumours of a strange creature living in the waters of Loch Ness have abounded over the decades, yet scant evidence has been found to back up these claims.

One of the first sightings, believed to have fuelled modern Nessie fever, came in May 2, 1933.  

On this date the Inverness Courier carried a story about a local couple who claim to have seen 'an enormous animal rolling and plunging on the surface'.

Another famous claimed sighting is a photograph taken in 1934 by Colonel Robert Kenneth Wilson.

It was later exposed as a hoax by one of the participants, Chris Spurling, who, on his deathbed, revealed that the pictures were staged.

Other sightings James Gray's picture from 2001 when he and friend Peter Levings were out fishing on the Loch, while namesake Hugh Gray's blurred photo of what appears to be a large sea creature was published in the Daily Express in 1933.

Robert Kenneth Wilson, a London physician, captured arguably the most famous image of the Loch Ness Monster. The surgeon’s photograph was published in the Daily Mail on April 21, 1934 - however it was later proven to be a fake 

The first reported sighting of the monster is said to have been made in AD565 by the Irish missionary St Columba when he came across a giant beast in the River Ness.

But no one has ever come up with a satisfactory explanation for the sightings - although in 2019, 'Nessie expert' Steve Feltham, who has spent 24 years watching the Loch, said he thought it was actually a giant Wels Catfish, native to waters near the Baltic and Caspian seas in Europe.

An online register lists more than 1,000 total Nessie sightings, created by Mr Campbell, the man behind the Official Loch Ness Monster Fan Club and is available at www.lochnesssightings.com. 

So what could explain these mysterious sightings? 

Many Nessie witnesses have mentioned large, crocodile-like scutes sitting atop the spine of the creature, leading some to believe an escaped amphibian may be to blame.

Native fish sturgeons can also weigh several hundred pounds and have ridged backs, which make them look almost reptilian.

Some believe Nessie is a long-necked plesiosaur - like an elasmosaur - that survived somehow when all the other dinosaurs were wiped out.

Others say the sightings are down to Scottish pines dying and flopping into the loch, before quickly becoming water-logged and sinking.

While submerged, botanical chemicals start trapping tiny bubbles of air.

Eventually, enough of these are gathered to propel the log upward as deep pressures begin altering its shape, giving the appearance of an animal coming up for air.
