Nowadays, many continue to speculate that Egyptian pyramids have supernatural powers. With that comes the belief that these pyramids have been cursed to the point that no one will have the ability to destroy these ancient structures.
Pyramids serve as tombs for powerful Egyptian rulers, known as "pharaohs," in ancient times. The earliest pyramid was built during the third dynasty of ancient Egypt, between 2630 BC and 2611 BC. But the Pyramids of Khufu at Giza serve as perhaps among the most popular ones, what with their designation as among the ancient world's last surviving "Seven Wonders" .
Rumors abound that pyramids were not erected by humans but by aliens. In the ancient times, there's a prevailing assumption that humans have yet to have adequate knowedge and equipment to put up "megastructures" like the ancient pyramids, especially given their magnificent structure and accurate build. Of course, that remains a matter of speculation and no proof has been shown to justify that one.
But just recently, NASA has made another intriguing discovery concerning Egypt's pyramids. Images of buried ancient pyramids have been taken from the ancient Egyptian city of Tanis have been taken by the space agency's orbiting satellites. The satellite image also exposed other lost structures that were covered for thousands of years, The Daily Galaxy has reported.
Now scientists and anthropologists have been prompted to excavate these structures. If proven, it will serve as another breakthrough to the planet's history. Between 118 or 138 Egyptian pyramids have already been discovered so far, with the potential discovery adding up to the numbers.
NASA's satellites did not just find possible Egyptian pyramids. Last year, a river network along the sandy Western Sahara has also been discovered. The Daily Mail reported that these river networks were previously home to abundant vegetation and believed to have existed for the last 245,000 years. The report also says that the discovery could shed further light on Africa's history.
Today, NASA's satellites continue to capture images that could be useful and beneficial to the planet's history and that of humankind.
