Egyptian and international scientists have been scanning the famous edifice using 3D-imaging technique since 2015
During an unveiling ceremony held at the Giza plateau on March 2, Egypt’s tourism minister announced the discovery of a passageway inside the Great Pyramid of Giza.
This previously unknown corridor, measuring nine meters in length and 2.1 meters wide, was uncovered by the ‘ScanPyramids’ project, a team of heritage experts from Cairo University and the French Heritage Innovation. The project, which began its work on the Great Pyramid in 2015, utilizes muon tomography to produce accurate 3D imaging. In 2016, the team announced the discovery of a void inside the pyramid, followed by the ScanPyramids “Big Void” in 2017. The Big Void was discussed in depth by geologist Dr. Robert Schoch in an article for Atlantis Rising Magazine (#128) and republished in 2018 in the AR Special issue, The Quest for Lost Ancient Secrets.
The passageway was most likely constructed to relieve the weight of the pyramid on the main entrance hall or a yet-to-be-discovered chamber, according to Dr. Mostafa Waziri, secretary general of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities. Attending the ceremony was the notorious Egyptologist Zahi Hawass, Egypt’s Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Ahmed Eissa, and a delegation of scientists from the mission. The ScanPyramids project plans to continue exploring the Great Pyramid.
