Seventeen lost pyramids and more than 1,000 tombs have been found in a new satellite survey of Egypt.
Scientists at the University of Alabama also found 3,000 ancient settlements using a new technique of infra-red imaging.
The astonishing results have been confirmed by archaeologists with picks and shovels, who have located two of the pyramids found from space...
...The team analysed images from satellites orbiting 400 miles above the Earth, equipped with cameras so powerful they can pinpoint objects less than a yard in diameter.
Infra-red imaging was then used to highlight different materials under the surface.
Because the ancient Egyptians built houses from mud brick, which is must denser than surrounding soil, they left a clear fingerprint that the researchers could identify as tombs, pyramids or homes.
The technique is so powerful that it can even be used to monitor sites for looting.
And Dr Parcak believes there are many more buildings buried deeper than those already spotted – even under the River Nile.
"These are just the sites close to the surface. There are many thousands of additional sites that the Nile has covered over with silt," she said.
Daily Luther Sermon Quote - Your salvation does not depend on the fact that
you believe Christ to be the Savior of the godly, but that he is a Savior
to you and has become your own. 11. Such a faith will work in you love for
Christ and joy in him, and good works will naturally follow. If they do
not, faith is surely not present; for where faith is, there the Holy Ghost
is and must work love and good works. 12. This faith is condemned by
apostate and rebellious Christians, the pope, bishops, priests, monks, and
the universities. They call it arrogance to desire to be like the saints.
