Dott. Armando Mei Archaeological Researcher | Founder – Egyptian Heritage Research Foundation | Field-Based Research in Egypt | Non-Invasive Archaeology

Armando Mei is an independent archaeological researcher specializing in Egyptology and archaeological–architectural analysis. His work focuses primarily on the Giza Plateau, approached as a complex and multi-layered heritage landscape. His research adopts a non-invasive, archaeology-centered methodological framework based on architectural constraints, spatial and functional analysis, and critical

comparison with established Egyptological documentation. A central aspect of his work is the identification of architectural and contextual constraints in order to evaluate and constrain interpretive models against observed structural and spatial evidence. Rather than advancing speculative reconstructions, his approach emphasizes methodological clarity, negative evidence, and explicitly defined interpretive limits. His publications address internal architectural logic, secondary structures, sealing and isolation systems, metrology, and linguistic–cultural frameworks within Old Kingdom monumental contexts. All research outputs are published as open-access articles and preprints on Zenodo and are identified by persistent DOIs, ensuring transparency, citability, and long-term accessibility.

Not every rock-cut feature requires a narrative.
In the far western sector of the Giza Plateau, I documented a sealed rock-cut entrance outside the commonly referenced NC2 cluster.
The structure presents a recessed geometry, oriented to the north, with a later brick sealing suggesting a multi-phase intervention. Its morphology shows parallels with other known features in the area, particularly with the so-called “Tomb of the Birds”.
At this stage, no interpretation is proposed.
In a landscape as complex as Giza, the distinction between "observation" and "interpretation" is not optional — it is essential.
Undocumented claims not supported by direct field evidence risk generating confusion rather than advancing knowledge.
A structured, non-invasive approach remains the only viable path for assessing such features, always under the direction of the Egyptian authorities.
Fieldwork begins with what is visible. Everything else comes later — if supported by evidence.

Il 30 aprile alle 20:00 Veronica Antili Milantoni ed io saremo in diretta per parlare di un tema molto semplice: Cosa nasconde ancora Giza...?
Negli ultimi mesi abbiamo lavorato in aree estremamente sensibili, tra cui:
- area sud della Piramide di Chefren
- Pozzo di Osiride
- area ovest di Giza
Il lavoro sul campo ha evidenziato:
- anomalie morfologiche
- discontinuità litologiche
- strutture sigillate, non documentate e assenti dalla letteratura scientifica.
Parallelamente, il lavoro si è esteso anche sul piano istituzionale e pubblico:
- grazie al supporto del Prof. El Seesy, tra le figure più rilevanti del panorama culturale egiziano;
- con il Dr. Reda Abdel Haleem, con il quale stiamo sviluppando un progetto di preservazione e tutela della Piramide di Hawara;
- e attraverso un’intervista con Mahmoud Saad, tra i volti più autorevoli del panorama televisivo arabo.
Parleremo di questo e altro, direttamente dal Cairo.

SEE YOU IN STOCKHOLM! 🇸🇪
In May, I will be among the speakers at GDX Scandinavia 2026, an international event focused on research, innovation, and new perspectives on the past and present.
I will present work developed directly in the field, on the Giza Plateau - combining real observations, structural anomalies, and still-open questions.
Not theory for its own sake, but data, analysis, and a strictly non-invasive approach.
My talk: “The Gate of Imentet - From the Osiris Shaft to explorations in Giza’s northwest area”
A journey through:
- the Osiris Shaft: architectural anomalies observed in the field
- possible underground connections still unexplored
- new investigation areas west of Giza
If you’ll be in Stockholm, it would be a pleasure to meet you in person.
See you there.

Seconda parte dell’intervista su Extremamente, realizzata con Sabrina Pieragostini.
Abbiamo affrontato due linee di lavoro distinte, accomunate da una stessa direzione di ricerca: l’analisi di possibili livelli di lettura più profondi, derivanti dall’osservazione diretta sul campo.
Un confronto senza conclusioni forzate, con l’obiettivo di mantenere il focus su un approccio rigoroso e orientato all’osservazione oggettiva della realtà di Giza e dei suoi angoli più nascosti.

Today I had the privilege of being interviewed by Mahmoud Saad, a leading and highly respected voice in the Arab world.
I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Prof. Waseem El Seesy for his kind invitation and for creating this opportunity to share and discuss my work.
It was a meaningful moment to talk about the extraordinary heritage of Ancient Egypt and to present my ongoing field research. I also emphasized my clear intention to continue this work in alignment with and under the guidance of the Egyptian Authorities.
Engaging with such an important audience is something I deeply value, and I carry it forward with respect and responsibility.

È uscita questa intervista su Extremamente.
Con Sabrina Pieragostini abbiamo parlato di due linee di lavoro molto precise:
– la possibile relazione tra il numero 137 e la struttura della Piana di Giza
– la ricerca di Veronica sulle origini del mito di Thot (dal suo Libro: Alla ricerca di Thot, disponibile su Amazon)
Due temi diversi, ma che si incrociano su un punto: capire se dietro ciò che vediamo oggi esiste un livello di costruzione più profondo - non solo simbolico, ma anche strutturale e concettuale.
Nessuna conclusione definitiva.
Ma abbastanza elementi da rendere la domanda legittima.

Tutti guardano la Piana di Giza, ma pochi si fermano davvero a osservarla… e quando lo fai sul campo, inizi a vedere ciò che da una scrivania di casa non potrai mai cogliere.
In questa intervista con Sabrina Pieragostini - volto storico della TV italiana e da anni impegnata nella divulgazione tra scienza e mistero - abbiamo deciso di andare dritto al punto.
Niente teorie sensazionalistiche.
Niente narrativa preconfezionata.
Solo dati, osservazione sul campo… e domande scomode.
Il Pozzo di Osiride
Strutture ignorate o sottovalutate
Anomalie architettoniche che non si lasciano spiegare facilmente
La ricerca di Veronica sul simbolismo e il ruolo delle divinità Thot e Seth
Quando inizi a mettere insieme questi elementi, il quadro cambia.
E ciò che sembrava già acquisito smette improvvisamente di esserlo.
Una cosa è certa: la storia del passato remoto della nostra civiltà è totalmente da riscrivere.
Grazie a Sabrina Pieragostini per questo confronto diretto, aperto e senza filtri.

This morning we conducted a preliminary fieldwork at the Hawara Pyramid together with Dr. Reda Abdel Haleem.
For Dr. Reda, this site marks the beginning of his career as an Egyptologist, leading to his role as Director General at the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities. Being guided by him meant engaging with decades of direct field experience and a deep commitment to the preservation of Egypt’s heritage.
The day was focused on assessing the current condition of the site, with a critical issue clearly emerging: the presence of groundwater, which is significantly affecting the stability of the pyramid of Amenemhat III.
This is a serious structural concern that requires a coordinated, non-invasive approach, in line with modern conservation standards.
At the same time, we examined the potential of the north-western area of the complex, still largely unexcavated.
The direction is clear: to initiate an integrated plan for recovery, monitoring, and preservation of the site, combined with targeted archaeological investigation, under Egyptian guidance.
This is not a theoretical project.
It is ready to begin.
We are therefore opening a call-to-action to international institutions and organizations interested in contributing to the preservation of one of the most important—and currently vulnerable—sites of ancient Egypt.

I had the pleasure of taking part in this conversation together with Elena Danaan, hosted by Nebilah Alarien.
It was an open and engaging exchange, where different perspectives were brought into dialogue. I appreciated the depth of Elena’s research work and her commitment to exploring complex themes with dedication and intellectual curiosity.
On my side, I presented my current research perspective based on field observations from the Giza Plateau, maintaining a framework grounded in evidence, methodological caution, and a clear distinction between observation and interpretation.
I am grateful to Nebilah for the invitation and for supporting the dissemination of our research work.
Looking forward to continuing this dialogue in person at the GDX Stockholm this May.

A full day at Giza.
The sun doesn’t forgive, the rock doesn’t either…
but every time you come back here, you remember why it’s worth it.
We keep going.

Over the past days, Veronica and I have been working on the ground along the western edge of the Giza Plateau - in an area that, despite being just steps away from the major monuments, remains surprisingly under-integrated within the broader archaeological framework.
During this work, we documented a rock-cut cavity, currently sealed by an irregular masonry closure, lacking any clear formal architectural structure.
This is not the kind of finding that lends itself to headlines or rushed interpretations.
Quite the opposite.
For this reason, we chose to do what we believe is the only correct approach: observe carefully, document precisely, and build a solid framework without forcing conclusions.
We have now published a first paper on Zenodo presenting:
- the documentation of the feature
- its geological and archaeological context
- a non-invasive research pathway for future investigation
We are still at the beginning.
But this is exactly where serious work starts: in the ability to distinguish between what is actually observed… and what one might be tempted to see.
The paper is available at: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19484812
At Giza, it is often not what is immediately visible that makes the difference - but what lies at the margins.
