As 2025 fades into the rearview mirror, it’s worth taking a moment to look back at the stories that made us stop, reread, and occasionally ask, “Wait… what?” From AI-fueled delusions and haunted buses to brain-powered computers and possible portals ripping open reality, these were some of the most unusual headlines we covered this past year. There’s no ranking here—just a grab bag of high strangeness for you to peruse again as the new year breaks and the world continues doing whatever this is.

A team of researchers using advanced radar scanning has reportedly discovered a second network of underground structures beneath Egypt’s Giza Plateau—this time beneath the Pyramid of Menkaure. According to lead technician Filippo Biondi of the University of Strathclyde, the new findings appear to echo the subterranean features previously identified beneath the nearby Pyramid of Khafre.

In this emergency episode, Tony Merkel is joined by Egypt researcher Derek Olson to break down stunning new revelations beneath Egypt’s Khafre Pyramid. Using a never-before-seen radar scan (SARS technology), researchers claim to have discovered five massive chambers, eight mysterious shafts, and an entire subterranean city 5,000 feet underground—all without permission from the Egyptian government. Could this be evidence of a lost pre-Diluvian civilization? Were the pyramids actually ancient power plants? Is there a buried Tesla-like energy grid hidden beneath Giza?

Are black holes actually portals? A new study suggests they may not be cosmic traps after all. Meanwhile, shocking claims about Jeffrey Epstein’s shapeshifting resurface—Juliette Rose Bryant describes bizarre encounters. And what if the Egyptians didn’t build the Egyptian pyramids but inherited from a pre-flood civilization? Could they have harnessed Earth's energy, as Tesla believed? The mystery runs deeper than we think…

For centuries, the pyramids of Egypt have stood as towering enigmas. Were they simply tombs, or were they something far more sophisticated? A groundbreaking study using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has just uncovered an astonishing underground complex beneath the Pyramid of Khafre, potentially changing everything we thought we knew about the Giza Plateau.
