Could the Rumoured City Beneath Giza Be a Divine Warning to the Arrogant?

What Was Rumoured to Be Discovered Beneath the Pyramids?

In early 2025, researchers using advanced radar technology claimed to have detected a massive underground structure beneath the Giza plateau. According to the study, beneath the iconic pyramids lie:

• Eight enormous vertical shafts, each descending over 2,000 feet

• Spiral pathways winding around these pillars

• Two gigantic cube-shaped chambers, each over 80 metres wide

• A vast, interconnected network of tunnels and architectural structures, stretching nearly 2 kilometres across

If proven true, this would mean that what lies beneath the pyramids is far more massive and complex than anything currently visible above ground. Some suggest it may be the remains of a lost civilisation, an ancient power centre, or even a pre-flood preservation vault.

Could This Be a Sign of a Lost Civilisation?

The Quran speaks often of civilisations that once held power unmatched by any today. Nations like ‘Ād and Thamūd — who built massive structures and lived in security — are described as being stronger than the people who came after them. Allah says:

If the underground structures beneath Giza are real, they may be physical traces of one of those forgotten civilisations — their arrogance buried along with their legacy. Their achievements may have been unmatched in their time, but history left them in ruins. If such power could be wiped away, what does that say about the arrogance of nations today?

Could This Be Linked to Prophet Idrees (peace be upon him)?

Some Islamic historians and scholars believed that Prophet Idrees (peace be upon him) — often associated with the legendary figure Hermes Trismegistus — may have lived in Egypt long before the time of Pharaoh.

He is known in Islamic tradition as the first to write with a pen, a prophet gifted with deep knowledge of astronomy, time, and wisdom. The Quran says:

Stories passed down in early Islamic sources suggest that Idrees (peace be upon him) may have guided the construction of massive structures — possibly even the pyramids — to preserve knowledge before a coming disaster. If the rumoured underground city is real, it could reflect that very mission: to protect wisdom from destruction, echoing the divine foresight of the prophets.

Could This Be Linked to Ancient Civilisations Like ‘Ād?

One of the most striking connections comes from the Quranic description of the people of ‘Ād. They were giants, powerful beyond measure, and known for their towering structures.

Some other translations refer to Iram as “the city of lofty towers”, highlighting the civilisation’s architectural height and grandeur. For example:

These interpretations point to a civilisation that built on a massive scale, with structures that were visually and physically imposing.

The Quran’s reference to Iram’s “great stature” or “lofty towers” is especially fascinating in light of recent claims: scientists say they may have discovered massive vertical shafts and towering stone pillars buried beneath the Giza plateau — over 2,000 feet deep.

Could these be linked? If true, it could mean that such architecture is a trace of those very people the Quran described — a nation that saw itself as untouchable, only to be completely wiped from the earth for its pride and defiance. These giant pillars may not only support ancient structures but also serve as a symbol of a people who thought they were beyond consequence — and were buried with no trace.

The Quran even emphasises how complete their destruction was:

Allah doesn’t say the people of ‘Ād will never be found, but this question serves as a powerful reflection: a nation once unmatched in strength and structure was erased so thoroughly that not even a soul remained.

If the towering structures under Giza truly exist, and if they do connect to such a civilisation, they may not only confirm the Quran’s descriptions — they may also be part of the hidden traces left behind by those Allah wiped from the face of the earth.

Allah doesn’t say the people of ‘Ād will never be found, but this rhetorical question serves as a powerful reflection: a nation once unmatched in strength and structure was erased so thoroughly that nothing remains but buried ruins — if that.

If the towering structures under Giza truly exist, and if they do connect to such a civilisation, they may not only confirm the Quran’s descriptions — they may also be part of the hidden traces left behind by those Allah wiped from the face of the earth.

A Warning to Modern Oppressors — From Giza to Gaza

If a hidden city truly lies beneath Giza, it’s not just a historical marvel — it’s a powerful warning. A message that no nation, no army, no government is immune to collapse, no matter how invincible it feels.

This message is painfully relevant today — especially when we look at what is happening in Palestine and Gaza.

Israel, with its modern military, powerful alliances, and global backing, acts with confidence — as if it will never be held to account. It violates international law, kills civilians, and besieges the people of Gaza — and yet behaves as if nothing will stop it. But Allah is not unaware.

If the people of ‘Ād, with their mighty towers, were destroyed and buried without a trace… if the builders of the pyramids were capable of constructing something beneath the earth on such a massive scale — yet were still erased — what makes Israel think it will escape divine justice?

Their power is an illusion. Their arrogance, like that of past tyrants, will only lead to downfall. The possible buried civilisation beneath Giza may well have been greater in strength, intellect, and construction than any nation today — including Israel — but they were still made to vanish.

Let this be a lesson: history buries the arrogant. And when Allah’s justice comes, no military, media, or false narrative can protect a nation from what it deserves.

What About the Pyramids in the Quran?

The Quran describes Pharaoh — another tyrant who claimed divinity and enslaved a people — as ordering a grand construction:

Some scholars suggest this could have been a pyramid. Whether or not that’s the case, the mindset is clear: pride, delusion, and false power. Pharaoh was drowned. His wealth, his buildings, and his soldiers — all gone.

Just like the nations before him, his end came swiftly, and his power meant nothing in the face of Allah’s justice.

What Should Muslims Take From This?

Whether or not the underground city under Giza is confirmed, the Islamic message remains the same:

• Greatness is not measured by architecture, armies, or influence.

• No matter how powerful someone appears, Allah is the Most Powerful.

• Oppression does not last — but accountability always comes.

• Civilisations far greater than ours have crumbled — what about us?

Allah says:

We must take heed. Because if we don’t learn from the ruins beneath our feet, we may soon find ourselves among them.

Final Thoughts

The rumoured city beneath the Giza pyramids may or may not be real — but the lessons it symbolises are. Islam has always taught that nations who walk the earth with pride and arrogance are eventually humbled, often in ways they never imagined.

From Giza to Gaza, the message is the same: might does not make right, and the oppressed will not be forgotten. History is not kind to those who abuse power — and neither is the One who watches all.

Let this be a moment of reflection. For individuals, for communities, and especially for those who think they rule the world.
