The methodological errors were evident in their discussion, which  covered, Therefore, it was surprising to many that their study was accepted for publication, and consequently, it was not a surprise to them that the journal issued its decision to withdraw the study.

The concerns about methodological errors in the study, and in accordance with the procedures followed in the journal, the editorial office and editorial board conducted an investigation that confirmed the existence of serious methodological flaws and statistical errors that were considered to undermine the credibility of the scientific conclusions.

What are the methodological errors?

The statement did not include any reference to the nature of the methodological errors made by the researchers, but Sayed Hamida, head of the Architectural Restoration Department at the Faculty of Archaeology at Cairo University, told Al Jazeera Net: “In my estimation, the biggest mistake was accepting that study in the first place, because it was simply built on falsehood, and what is built on falsehood is false.”

He explained that the study claimed to have used synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to detect high-resolution, previously undiscovered internal structural details beneath the Great Pyramid of Giza, something that seems impossible in an environment like the pyramids.

Hamida explains that the philosophy of this technology is based on the existence of a satellite that sends electromagnetic rays to the Earth, then receives the signals reflected from the Earth’s surface, to interpret and analyze them. This is useful in discovering things in the Earth’s surface layers, but the rays emitted by this technology cannot, of course, penetrate the high-density limestone blocks in the area of ​​the pyramids.

Accordingly, Hamida says: "It was natural that the results presented would be fabricated, and that there would be manipulation of the results of the three-dimensional model they presented in the study, as well as in the statistical processing, because there simply was no real monitoring."

Dr. Hamida hopes that the decision to withdraw that study will receive extensive media coverage, because the media coverage of the press conferences held by the researchers before and after the publication of the study was extensive, and there are still those who believe in the existence of a secret city under the pyramids.
