The online community is abuzz with discussions surrounding a mysterious ‘complex’ located five miles from the Khufu pyramid in Egypt.
A curious Google Maps user shared their discovery on Reddit, having noticed an unusual sight near the famous Giza pyramids.
Pinpointed at coordinates 29°54’23″N 31°08’02″E, this location, situated ‘five miles due south of the Khufu pyramid’, has sparked intrigue among social media users speculating about its purpose.
Posting in the r/Alternative History subreddit, the user presented a Google Maps screenshot showing the ‘complex’ and asked: “What in the Stargate is this? “[…] I can’t find it labeled on any maps. Is anybody here familiar with this place?”
Responses came swiftly, with various theories being proposed.
One individual suggested: “If it was Nevada I’d say rich guy’s art project.”
Another user speculated: “Probably an ammunition bunker for the military,” while a third commented: “Anti aircraft missile or radar installation.”
A fourth mentioned finding a website with a similar interpretation of the location.
Indeed, back in 2005, a similar image was posted on ‘Virtual Globetrotting,’ with a user questioning if the complex was a ‘SA-2 missile battery’ site.
A commenter explained: “This one appears to be an SA-2 battery, split to better cover a particular section of the compass. The northern three revetments are empty, but the southern three appear to have SA-2 launchers in them, but not missiles.
“The mounds are used to get a bit more height for the radar antenna. Even getting them up 20 or 30 feet above the flat desert makes a huge difference in range.”
Others proposed it could be a ‘radar site’.
Interestingly, this isn’t the only curious find on Google Maps as of late; another peculiar ‘UFO’ disc has given rise to eerie theories.
Earlier this year, individuals spotted a disc-shaped structure at 34°24’21.6″N 107°05’44.5″W, situated roughly 34 miles from the Sevilleta National Refuge in La Joay, New Mexico.
The top of this white disc seemed to have metallic components, while the opposite side was obscured by vegetation.
Social media users were split, with some Redditors proposing it might be a ‘crashed UFO stuck in the mountain,’ whereas Twitter users believed it to be a ‘calibration target’ for satellites.
What’s your take on these strange sightings?
