Timothy Akers and the Merlin Burrows Team invested in a year long research project at the Montana Megaliths utilizing this same satellite deep geoscan technology.
The major reason that I am documenting the majority of Louis De Cordier's revelations about Hawara on my own website is that his work has been deleted, censored, and removed from public domain over and over again as has my own work on the Montana Megaliths. I am printing a hard copy. I am saving it to a hard drive even though hard drives can be hacked. I am preserving this for my own reference and for future generations.

Here it begins. I turn right, steering my old Nissan Terrano 4x4 down a steep dirt track, tires crunching against the earth. The hundred-meter-wide rocky rambla—a dry riverbed—stretches before me, a scarred testament to the whims of nature. I ease to a stop where a cold mountain river slices the road in two, its waters glinting under the winter sun. Carefully, I gauge the depth, then shift the gear into differential lock. With a slow, deliberate commitment, I press forward, the vehicle lurching over the “rolling stones.” The river rises, submerging the tires, and for a moment, I’m suspended between peril and triumph. Then, with a surge of relief laced with exhilaration, I emerge on the other side.
Another kilometer unfolds through a dense, lush green jungle of a track, leading me to Cortijo Las Plumas, where the writer Andrew Barker has carved out his sanctuary. Free-roaming horses greet me, their soft, warm presence a quiet welcome. In the distance, the joyful chatter of voices drifts from a vine-draped terrace, where people savor an English breakfast overlooking this secluded valley—a hidden horse farm cradled by the wild.
And there she stands: Dr. Carmen Boulter1, the renowned scholar and filmmaker, celebrated for her work on ancient Egypt, The Pyramid Code2. Andrew had invited her to fly in from Canada, bearing the staggering results of satellite scans he’d commissioned through her personal friend and spiritual archaeologist, Klaus Dona3. The air hums with anticipation. https://labyrinthofegypt.substack.com/
In the tranquil embrace of the Alpujarra’s verdant valleys, where the whitewashed village of Cádiar cradled our writer’s studio, a restless spirit stirred. Months had elapsed since our exhilarating sojourn in Egypt with the indomitable Carmen Boulter1. Serenity had returned to the green valleys where, a year prior, Andrew Barker and I embarked on our quest to pen a book unveiling Egypt’s Hawara Labyrinth. Dust gathered on the bookshelves, yet Andrew’s resolve burned unyieldingly. A sacred flame ignited within him to reveal the labyrinth at Hawara, that grand subterranean wonder whispered to be the lost Library of Atlantis—a relic of an Ice Age civilization that crumbled some 12,000 years ago. That epoch, shattered by solar storms, cosmic debris breaching our biosphere, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, droughts, and the relentless climate shifts from melting icecaps, brought even the mightiest civilization that probably ever existed to its knees. Was the labyrinth their “ark of knowledge,” a beacon to enlighten future generations with the wisdom of harmonious coexistence with nature and a warning, carved deep into its stone walls, of the return of those cataclysmic cosmic cycles? Cycles that, as I write, seem to stir our planet once more? Like a steadfast English knight, Andrew seized the sword, embarking on what would become the most heroic battle of his life, tinged, as epic tales often are, with a hint of tragedy.

The Technology: Holographic Depths
June 2015. A WhatsApp voicemail crackled through on my mobile: “Andrew here. Could you come over? There’s something I need to tell you.” At 10:00 the next morning, I found him in the refectory of the Alqueria de Morayma2, an oasis of Andalusian peace, enveloped by vineyards, almond groves, and the scent of orange blossoms. At a grand, weathered Spanish table, strewn with documents, maps, notebooks, and his dust-laden laptop, Andrew sat, eyes alight with purpose.
Louis De Cordier announced, "Here it is! Finally, after 10 years of being protected by a Non-Disclosure wall against the harsh reality of archaeology today. Time to release is Now, and this has everything to do with the recent revelations of the Khafre Pyramid Discovery and the support of Trevor Grassi. Great thanks to Andrew Barker and in memory of Tim Akers, Founder of Merlin Burrows. This same technology was utilized by Timothy Akers and the Merlin Burrows Team in a year long project at the Montana Megaliths.
Louis De Cordier wrote: “This is the man, Louis!” He (Andrew Barker) declared, introducing Timothy Akers, an ex-military tech researcher and programmer who had honed his craft in the British Army’s satellite scan security division. A man who is now channeling his passion for antiquity into his start-up company, Merlin Burrows—turning his military expertise to probing ancient sites with cutting-edge satellite technology."
"Andrew’s discovery of him was serendipitous—a small blog post by Akers about the colossal statues said to have once stood in Lake Moeris, near the Hawara Labyrinth. Akers’ scans had confirmed the presence of dual pyramids that once supported those statues, a tantalizing clue to the labyrinth’s proximity."
“I reached out, told him about our labyrinth research, and the guy went wild. So wild, he called in old comrades still buried in the military industrial complex to process the satellite data using their top-tier systems—something that would’ve taken him years on his own.”
"It sounded both thrilling and absurd. Skepticism shadowed my excitement. I had my share of “remote sensing” claims. Yet here was a man with broad shoulders, a beard fit for a Norse god, and a home-knitted jumper big enough to house a horse. I remained cautious."
"Without pause, Andrew (Barker) drew a crisp white sheet from his weathered leather bag, itself scarred from the dust of Hawara, the bustling markets of Fayoum, and a dozen sips of shisha water-pipes along the way." “To understand what Tim is doing, let me explain first how a holographic image emerges from a flat photograph, as this is key to how Tim creates a 3D image of Hawara’s depths from a satellite scanning only the surface.” He began: “Picture a pan filled with water. Drop several pebbles into it, and ripples form, colliding into intricate wave patterns. If you could freeze that water instantly and lift out the ice, shining a light beneath would project a 3D image of the pebbles at impact—a hologram born from frozen ripples. Tim’s technology does this on a grand scale, and with far greater precision.”
"Tim’s system sourced high-frequency satellite images—already purchased by Andrew—from private orbital agencies. Typically, these were run through custom software on his own servers. But this time, through old military contacts, they would be processed deep inside classified facilities beneath the UK, places where processors that once tracked submarines hiding behind tankers would now be focused on Hawara."
“This tech could detect a sub’s path by analyzing the residual water ripple field left behind—fluid footprints,” Andrew explained. “Now imagine what it can do when scanning solid geological formations, vibrating on the Earth’s constant geophysical activities. This tech can map the underground in 3D up to 5 kilometers deep, distinguishing between granite, diorite, limestone—even mapping voids, tunnels, and metallic anomalies with uncanny precision. Down to the size of a golden watch.” Read the rest of the story here: https://labyrinthofegypt.substack.com/
The Merlin Burrows scans II The Harrogate Briefing: Unveiling the Labyrinth from Orbit Louis De Cordier Jun 06, 2025
After grasping the true magnitude of Tim Akers’ satellite scans, a quiet urgency set it. We knew the implications stretched far beyond academic uproar. Fearing not only the backlash from the establishment but the wider dangers such revelations might trigger—disturbing interests well outside the bounds of archaeology—our research team made a crucial decision, one born of caution: to keep the findings secret. We chose not to share any of the scan data outside our closed circle, implementing a strict non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for anyone granted access to the images. This wasn’t out of a desire to hoard information, but rather to protect the feasibility of our main goal: to carry out a new expedition on Egyptian soil.
We had learned from past experience—namely, the release of our scans associated with Dr Carmen Boulter and Klaus Dona1, and especially my own Mataha expedition scans in 20082—that making loud public claims only led to temporary media attention, followed by lasting obstacles. Keeping a low profile, rather than triggering a short-lived storm of speculation, would get us much further. Releasing the scans too early would risk blowing our cover with figures like Dr Zahi Hawass3 and the Ministry of Antiquities, potentially landing us on the infamous blacklist that barred the independent researcher Graham Hancock from entering Egypt for years. I myself had already been placed on that blacklist once before—back in 2008—after presenting the Mataha expedition results during a lecture at Ghent University.4 Hawass interpreted this as a breach of national security protocol, simply for publicly sharing our geophysical results. I was determined not to repeat that experience. The Egyptian prison was not the type of labyrinth I wanted to get lost in. So we chose silence over spectacle. Our aim was to return to Egypt and explore the site properly. To do that, we had to remain invisible.
Harrogate, United Kingdom – 2015 Harrogate: the city where Tim Akers lived and the birthplace of Merlin Burrows5, his satellite scanning company. There they were—two trail-hardened researchers who had traveled the world in search of the fingerprints of Atlantis—awaiting check-in at the reception of the Crown Hotel6. Clearly excited about the upcoming meeting with the master of pixels, both were about to be guided into the ancient mysteries buried deep beneath the sands of Hawara: the lost Egyptian Labyrinth.
Harrogate, a town I had never heard of before, lies hidden among the green hills of North Yorkshire. A place forgotten by the outside world since the twilight of the British Empire, yet harboring a formidable technological secret. Just outside its medieval center stands RAF Menwith Hill, a Royal Air Force station7. Tim Akers knew it well. He had spent many years there as an officer in Special Access Programs (SAP), working with highly advanced and classified technologies.

Menwith Hill is no ordinary military base—it is the largest electronic monitoring station in the world. Buried deep beneath the peaceful façade of Harrogate, it operates as a satellite ground station, intercepting global communications, tracking Russian nuclear submarines, scanning for underground bunker complexes in Asia, and even locating landmines in the Middle East. It functions in close collaboration with the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). A small town hiding a massive military eye. Akers had turned that military-grade expertise toward ancient mysteries—toward Hawara.
For this special occasion, to present what Tim Akers had been silently analyzing since our webcam call in mid-June, Andrew Barker8 had rented a small conference room at the Crown Hotel—a 300-year-old establishment. The Montpellier Suite, with its wooden wainscoting, usually hosted corporate meetings. But on that day, it was to house one of the most extraordinary private briefings in the hotel’s history. Before we began, Michael Donnellan9—ever vigilant—swept the room thoroughly for hidden microphones or cameras. Michael, who had been part of our research team since the Carmen Boulter days, had taken it upon himself to visually document our daring quest for the Labyrinth.
Tension was palpable. Even Andrew, though already partially briefed as the project patron, had barely slept the night before. Seeking solace, he found himself in the downstairs pub, a glass of one of Scotland’s finest whiskies in hand, immersing himself in the verses of Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet10. The poetic reflections on life and the human condition offered a momentary escape. As he read, Michael animated the room with his tales of desert adventures and mysteries from the ancient world, his stories, gestures, and smiles weaving through the air and momentarily easing the weight of anticipation. I wasn’t there myself. I was in Spain, filming a documentary about my high-altitude library project in the Sierra Nevada—Biblioteca del Sol—built years prior11. But everything at the Crown Hotel was filmed for archival purposes and for my later review.

The room darkened. A projector lit up the first scan. “Do you recognize it?” Tim asked, with a mischievous grin. Everyone rushed toward the projector in the dim room. There it was, in full screen: the satellite scan of Hawara, now in full color and 3D. “You think you see it,” Tim said, “but you don’t!” He had been immersed in these images for weeks and had a lifetime of satellite scan interpretation behind him. “There’s so much information in each image that your brain can’t absorb it all. You’re seeing five levels compressed into one. The color image gives a false sense of 3D—what appears on top is often the deepest layer.”
He (Tim Akers) explained the color code: “Black swaths are the default. Black shattered specks and dots are artifacts near the surface—likely from the Roman and Ptolemaic12 periods. Yellow is nearest to the top, then red, green, light blue, and finally dark blue at the deepest level.”
“This master image is a fusion of many overlapping satellite scans. Because the satellites don’t always fly directly over the site, we do deal with some minor distortions, which must be factored in when interpreting the exact positioning of elements. That said, the master composite provides a solid reference.” A white-toned, inverted version of the scan was also shown, reversing the colors to offer a different visual interpretation.
“There are four distinct layers underground—five, if you include the surface above the mother rock,” Tim said. “These layers are separated by 20 to 50 meters and align, quite strikingly, with elements seen in the Hawara GeoSCAN survey13. These also showed four levels. However, my scans reveal a clearer separation between the top two layers and the bottom two.” Given Andrew’s deep concern about the groundwater level—clearly visible in the entrance passage of the Pyramid of Hawara and currently obstructing any underground exploration—he posed the pressing question to Tim: “Does this mean we are dealing with an entirely submerged structure?” “Not at all,” Tim replied. “It’s true that significant portions of the site are affected by shallow groundwater issues, but it’s important to stress--very shallow.” Recent investigations, including those conducted by the Egyptian-Polish mission14, confirm that the groundwater does not penetrate deeply—reaching no more than approximately 8 meters below the surface, and certainly not down to the mother rock, which lies at a depth of around 18 meters.

The most affected area, Tim explained, is the zone surrounding the pyramid itself. There, the mudbrick structure acts almost like a wick, drawing moisture upward—even above the level of the canal that cuts across the site. “The entire deeper understructure is free of water,” he emphasized. “And our scan data clearly shows it to be hollow.”
“All layers converge at a central corridor or avenue,” he added, “like the atrium of a shopping mall, where you can see all floors from one vantage point.” A hall consisting of a massive space, 64 meters wide and no less than 160 meters long. “My personal interpretation,” Tim said, “is that this entire hall was constructed to house a centrally positioned, freestanding object about 40 meters long.”

“The central object is hard to classify—it appears metallic, not stone or wood. I named it ‘Dippy,’ after the giant Diplodocus skeleton in the Hintze Hall of London’s Natural History Museum. It could be anything—its shape resembles those tic-tac hard mints15, ***it might also be an upright disk, or even a colossal Shen Ring16: the ancient Egyptian symbol representing the eternal cycle of creation. That big object alone raises profound questions: How did it get there? Why is it there?”

He paused before adding with measured gravity: “A more speculative theory is that it’s some kind of portal—either interdimensional or interstellar —a stargate17. Its material signature is unlike anything I’ve seen in my entire career. But it’s there—undeniably there. I’ll let the future find out what Dippy is.”

Rising Closer to the Surface
“These deeper layers form an underground complex the size of ten football fields18. Closer to the surface, we notice a moat-like feature dug around the entire site, its shape unmistakably echoing the form of a Greek omega (Ω), or more significantly, the ancient Egyptian Shen ring —both symbols of eternal life —suggesting a deliberate, perhaps sacred, recurrence of the motif.”
“But was it a defensive moat filled with water, like in medieval castles? Or more like the recently discovered dry moat at Saqqara?19 The question remains.”
“Surrounding the pyramid are numerous peaks—deep shafts that seem to end in a chamber. These are likely Persian tomb shafts20—vertical burial structures from the Late Period, and the subsequent Persian Dynasty. That’s around the same time Herodotus visited Hawara!21” These tomb shafts are known to reach depths of 30 meters, with side chambers carved at various depths and dimensions of up to 8 by 10 meters—testament to their monumental scale.
Back at the pyramid of Hawara itself, the scans unmistakably show not one, but two chambers beneath the monument. One aligns with the well-known burial chamber uncovered by Flinders Petrie22 in January 1888. The second, still undiscovered, lies beyond, what Petrie described as the “blind passage.”23
This corridor, meticulously cut into the limestone bedrock, descends deep beneath the pyramid and was followed by Petrie until it abruptly terminated. At the time, he concluded that the tunnel led nowhere—an impression shaped by the groundwater he encountered within the Hawara pyramid, a persistent obstacle caused by the Bahr Wahbi canal24, an artificial waterway that cuts directly across the archaeological site. The rising water table made further excavation increasingly unfeasible.
He documented that the tunnel ended in what appeared to be a solid wall, with no immediate evidence of chambers beyond it. Yet, with the benefit of hindsight and new data, it’s plausible that Petrie reached not a definitive end, but rather a false terminus—a blocked transitional section, deliberately sealed or naturally obscured by the water. This leads to a compelling hypothesis: that a hidden passage lies just beyond, forming a subterranean link between the pyramid and the deeper structures of Hawara. Such a connection would not only align with the ancient testimony of Herodotus, who spoke of a tunnel joining the pyramid to the Labyrinth, but is also strongly supported by modern geophysical evidence. Both the Mataha Expedition (2008) and the joint Polish-Egyptian survey conducted by the University of Wrocław and Cairo University detected anomalies and voids in precisely this area—suggesting that Petrie may have stopped just short of one of the most significant buried features of the entire complex. If verified, this would confirm that the “blind passage” does not mark an ending at all—but rather the hidden threshold to the legendary underground of Hawara: The lost labyrinth of Egypt….
William BrownPART 2: Egyptian Disclosure 10 June 7, 2025 Our reality is invariably 'partially' obscured when it pertains to articulating precisely what Zahi Hawass wishes for the public to comprehend. i.e., Zahi Hawass's recent information release during an interview on Matt Beall's "Limitless" channel.
My esteemed colleague Louis De Cordier has recently unveiled his findings from the Hawara Project 2015 to the public, following the customary ten-year period of restricted Egyptian mandates governing discoveries within Egypt.
I had the privilege of collaborating on the earlier Hawara Pyramid Restoration Project (2008-09) and encountered similar constraints as those discoveries from that era. Subsequently, I was relieved of my duties, and over the span of nearly 16 years, I now seize the opportunity to unveil the revelations from 2008. Louis and I, alongside Trevor Grassi, will be featured on the Cliff Dunning podcast recording next week to share our collective insights. Ongoing dialogues with various talk show hosts will populate the calendar for days,months, and years ahead, with the hope of disseminating information that will help unlock the mysteries of all of Egypt. Today, I present an illustration on my Facebook page that encapsulates Hawass - Beall’s account of an extraordinary discovery within the Great Pyramid. Matt Beall articulates, in a manner of speaking, his role as the benevolent patron of the 'vehicle' apparatus meticulously designed to facilitate exploration into an uncharted domain ostensibly designated as Void #3. A second Japanese team is diligently investigating the intricate details of this newly unveiled Void #3 information, as disclosed by Zahi Hawass and Matt Beall. """ Precisely where will this non-invasive drilling be executed? The insights from the Biondi - Flippo - Corrado Malanga 2022 report may hold the key to the answer!
I discovered this geosculpture of two faces as seen from Google Earth in a video about the Hawara Labyrinth in Egypt.
Andrew Barker commented: "In fact there is a remarkable structure below the face. A deep tunnel structure that forms the shape of Orion, the hunter? Exactly why we don’t know; but superficially this was the Pharaoh hunting region?"
