One of the most mysterious and controversial archaeological claims in recent memory has surfaced in Egypt, where a British anthropologist alleges that he has discovered the tomb of Jesus Christ beneath the Great Pyramid of Giza.
According to Dr. Paul Warner, the tomb lies hidden within a secret chamber, alongside the fabled Ark of the Covenant, in a sealed cave complex blocked by a massive stone. Warner presented his findings to Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, describing the discovery as a potential “scientific revolution.”
The Ark of the Covenant, according to Judeo-Christian tradition, is a sacred, gold-covered wooden chest believed to have contained the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments given to Moses by God.
Warner claims the Egyptian authorities were “thrilled” by the implications of his research, which focuses on a specific area beneath the pyramid known as the Southern Passageway. He believes he has identified man-made structures just beyond the obstructing boulder—evidence, he says, that “something is hidden behind it.”
“The images and videos we’ve captured are from the deepest, most remote part of the pyramid’s original architecture,” he explains, noting that the area is “carved directly into the bedrock.”
Visible beyond the rock are rectangular forms suggestive of human construction—an observation fueling Warner’s ten-year investigation, which combines on-site exploration in Egypt with advanced geophysical scans of the pyramid.
A Theory Bridging Religions and Ancient Texts

Warner’s theory emerged from an ambitious comparative analysis of the three Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—alongside ancient Mesopotamian clay tablet texts. He argues that scriptural references to locations like “Mount Sinai,” “Mount of Israel,” the “Mount of Olives,” “Zion,” and the “Mount of Light” in the Quran all symbolically point to the Great Pyramid of Giza.
He even suggests that the “Sermon on the Mount,” one of Jesus’s most famous teachings, may have been delivered at this site.
“This discovery has the potential to bring peace to the Middle East,” Warner boldly states, expressing high hopes for what he believes is a groundbreaking revelation.
Stalled Progress and Growing Tensions
Warner has called for the final boulder in the Southern Passageway to be removed to uncover what lies behind it. But the path to excavation has been anything but smooth.
He claims he was appointed as an advisor to Egypt’s international Scan Pyramids mission—a team using radiation-based technologies to explore the interiors of pyramids. In return for access to his data, Warner says, an agreement was reached for Egyptian authorities to investigate the sealed area suspected to house the second cave.
However, according to Warner, that agreement has since collapsed. He accuses Egyptian officials of reneging on their commitment and has appealed to Lebanon’s Prime Minister to help mediate and prevent what he calls a looming “international dispute.”

The situation has further escalated with Warner blaming Egypt’s former Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Zahi Hawass, for obstructing the project. He describes Hawass as a “barrier to progress,” suggesting that resistance comes from a conservative faction within the archaeological establishment.
“My work has the backing of Egypt’s highest authorities,” Warner insists, “but it has faced fierce opposition from the old guard.”
