Scientists uncovered a hidden nine-meter long corridor near the main entrance to the Great Pyramid of Giza, officials said Thursday.
The discovery was made as part of the Scan Pyramid project, which has been using non-invasive technology to study the structure since 2015, Reuters reported. Researchers used a mixture of infrared thermography, 3D simulations and endoscopes to explore inside of the structure, which is assumed to be 4,500-years-old (though the age of the Great Pyramid, and all others, is hotly contested).
Mostafa Waziri, who heads Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, said the corridor was presumably created to help redistribute the weight of the structure around the main entrance. Or it could be another currently undiscovered pathway to a different chamber or space within the pyramid.
“We’re going to continue our scanning so we will see what we can do … to figure out what we can find out beneath it, or just by the end of this corridor,” he said of the discovery. Clearly this stunning find, eight after the project started, suggests there is much more to know about this enormous complex.
Establishment archaeologists continue to believe that , Reuters cites the archeological consensus that the Great Pyramid was built as a tomb around 2560 B.C., during the reign of Pharaoh Khufu or Cheops. Other researchers, however, suggest the structure may have been something completely different, like a power plant.
There are still so many unknowns about the Great Pyramid and surrounding artifacts. Many researchers have hypothesized about how the Great Pyramid was built, but this knowledge is still largely lost to history.
As the Pyramid Scan project continues, we can only that more conclusive answers emerge about this forgotten chapter of human history.
PinGGG!......................
They should find Zahi Hawass in retirement and get him to confiirm once again that there is nothing new to learn about Giza, we know it all and no need to explore further.
Jimmy Hoffa. Finally.
“power plant?” Better check this out.
It’s the foyer.
You should heck out the bar and the game room!
And Geraldo Rivera can do a special................
I’ve always said it is a honeycomb inside. I can’t see any other possibility.
It’s the ‘Servant’s Entrance’..................
The worst part is the crap you have to drink for prep.
Maybe that was the special corridor that they snuck their concubines through, so their wives wouldn’t see them?
Until they find another sold gold death mask on top of another solid gold death mask... They’ve got nothing.
They’ve been looking for the next King Tut... That’s about as lucky as finding a needle in a haystack on the planet of Mars. It ain’t going to happen.
He could find some prehistoric license plates.
Pyramids have fascinated people for over two millennium. Yet the obsession for some and their conclusions reveals much more about them than the thinking of the ancient Egyptians. All humans, unlike other species, have a mental capacity for mysticism and magical beliefs. These modern people who are obsessed with pyramids may be agnostics but the worshipping expression of their neo paganism is clearly apparent.
A tomb that showed zero signs of ever having a body of evidence of one in it. They never found any bodies in the Greta Pyramid. Even taking into account looting, looters do not sweep up after themselves, dirty rags are worthless.
They are just to arrogant and prideful to admit the Great Pyramid is are a complete mystery to them.
Got a 3rd colonoscopy coming up next month...............
I don’t know...I don’t see any coat hangers anywhere. Maybe the Butler takes care of them.
Wasn’t there a chamber “detected” above the Great Hall using a neutrino scanner a few years ago? Whatever happened with that?
So, they found a hallway near the front door. Funny how that works.
Don't worry, it all comes out in the end...
