Metatron takes reports of large features under the Giza pyramids as a mining question. Filippo Biondi stands behind the scans, but Corrado Malanga’s reading is unrealistic. His own idea is shafts cut for ore. Viewers said water, heat, foul air, and darkness ruled out any ancient crew. He answers from Roman and Greek practice, then traces a lineage: Rome learned to clear mine water from Greece, and Greece from Egypt. Diodorus’s Egyptian screw, seen by Archimedes on a visit, is his evidence that workers in Egypt already lifted water from deep pits. Roman pits often began as vertical holes near 200 meters (656 feet), then low side tunnels once metal showed. He puts the Giza signals at 648 meters (2125 feet), deep enough to rewrite ancient skill if real. Lamps worn on the head replace open flame. Side shafts and linen strips kept air moving. Heat rose about one degree every 30 meters (98.43 feet), so crews worked nearly bare and in turns. The mine reading stays a guess, and sulfide rock far down would have been harder to treat.
Key points
- Metatron keeps Biondi’s scan confidence separate from Malanga’s interpretation, which he rejects.
- He offers mine shafts as the plain account of the deep features under Giza.
- Water lifting, in his telling, passed from Egypt to Greece and then to Rome by way of a screw Archimedes met in Egypt.
- Darkness was handled with household oil lamps, sometimes set on a miner’s head.
- Breathable air is credited to parallel shafts and to linen used to stir a draft.
- He cites about one degree of heat for every extra 30 meters (98.43 feet) and still calls the mine idea only a working guess.
Short quotes
I just don't think that the explanation presented by Corrado Malanga is fit and reliable.

Pliny, Roman author and naturalist, noted in his writings that certain types of soil or earth were associated with specific ores.

Now, ancient Roman mines are fascinating because when they have to go underground, usually they would begin to dig vertically.

Underground work, on this telling, opened with a vertical cut rather than a drift into a hillside. Watch at 7:21
Occasionally, water could be diverted into a natural fissure, but the miners drove artificial channels as well.

When a pump was not the tool, miners sent water into cracks or cut drains of their own. Watch at 11:37
Ventilation and bad air is something that Romans were absolutely aware of.
