That's what Discovery News is saying.  Apparently a researcher into Google Earth anomalies belieces she has located two unknown pyramid complexes in Upper Egypt.  I have looked at the photos (see the link) and am somewhat sceptical in respect of the first site, but then buried pyramids are not always obvious.  The second near Dimai looks more promising to me.

What worries me is that the process feels sort of like those people who can see man-made features on Mars (Cyndonia for instance) in satellite images.  I would be interested in a fractal analysis of the two supposed pyramid areas - that technique is promising when it comes to differentiating between man-made and natural mounds.

The site near Dimai is a known archaeological site. It's marked in pink on this map:
