Archaeologists used cosmic rays to find a hidden
corridor in Great Pyramid of Giza
New technology let them spot the 30-foot-long tunnel.

A team of international archaeologists from multiple
countries have discovered a hidden corridor in the
Great Pyramid at Giza in Egypt.
The 30-foot-long vaulted tunnel is located on the north
face of the pyramid, which was built 4,500 years ago
during the time of King Khufu. The archaeologists
believe the corridor was designed to help distribute
the weight of the pyramid, which is thought to be made
of several million pieces of limestone and measures
450 feet high and 750 feet wide.
The discovery was made as part of Scan Pyramids, a
project that uses a technique called cosmic-ray muon
radiography to investigate the inside of pyramids
without causing destruction. It works by firing
radiation through the pyramid, then reading the
radiation when it travels to detectors placed around
the pyramid.
The corridor was first found in 2017 using the cosmic
ray technology, making it the first major inner
structure found in the Great Pyramid since the 19th
century. Now, the archaeologists are reporting more
details and analysis on this corridor in an article
published in the journal Nature.

According to Reuters, in order to get the precise
analysis, scientists retrieved images by feeding an
endoscope through a small joint in the pyramid’s
stones.
The hope is that this discovery will lead to even more
discoveries in the future.
“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,”
Mostafa Waziri, head of Egypt’s Supreme Council of
Antiquities, told reporters after a press conference.
Other chambers that have been discovered in the pyramid
so far, which you can see in the illustration below,
include a subterranean chamber (a), a queen’s chamber
(b), a grand gallery (c) and a king’s chamber (d). The
newly uncovered hidden corridor in the illustration is
labeled h.

The Great Pyramid of Giza was the tallest human-made
structure on earth until the Eiffel Tower was built in
1889. It remains the last of the Seven Wonders of the
Ancient World still standing.

my reply: sorry I don't follow what you mean by finding
dead stuff. THe great Pyramid of Giza was/is not a
tomb. Never was built to house the dead. Some of the
modern archeologists think thats what it was used for or
built for but they are wrong.

However, imo it was built by dead works. Dust to dust.
If you can't relate I understand I do have a different way
of observing this world I am passing through.
