Episode Description
In 450 BC, Herodotus described an Egyptian labyrinth so massive it made the pyramids look small. Then it vanished under the desert for 2,000 years.
In 2008, scientists used ground-penetrating radar and found it—a massive structure 40 feet underground covering ten football fields. The Egyptian government immediately shut down all research.
Satellite imaging later revealed four underground levels and a 130-foot metallic object at the center. The researcher who published his findings was permanently blacklisted.
Ancient priests told Herodotus the deepest chambers held burial vaults of the kings who first built the labyrinth—not pharaohs, but whoever came before them. If they're right, Egyptian civilization didn't develop over centuries.
It was inherited from something older.
