a new secret passage discovered in the pyramid of Cheops

The pyramid of Cheops has fascinated people for 45 centuries. She has just revealed one of her secrets. For the first time in 1000 years, a new cavity is unearthed, just above the northern entrance, behind stone rafters monumental. The corridor is 9 meters long by 2 meters wide. For more than seven years, an international scientific mission has been scanning the pyramid with particles that have the ability to cross matter. This is how they discovered, in red, a small empty space.

Additional measures for digging

The sighting was later confirmed by radar. “From 2017, we knew that there was a void behind, simply, we did not want to dig at random (…), so additional measures were needed“, explains Sébastien Prosecutor, engineer-researcher. Finally, a few days ago, an endoscope camera from 5mm in diameter has infiltrated without damage between the stones. What was this room used for? The mystery remains whole but Egyptian archaeologists are enthusiastic.
