Archaeologists discover mysterious void deep within Great Pyramid of Giza

Muon-detecting sensors have revealed a huge hidden cavity hidden within the pyramid – the first major structural find since the 19th century

Archaeologists have uncovered a mysterious enclosure hidden deep inside the Great Pyramid of Giza, the oldest of the seven wonders of the ancient world.

The massive cavity stretches for at least 30 metres and lies above the grand gallery, an impressive ascending corridor that connects the Queen’s chamber to the King’s in the heart of the historic monument. It is the first major structure found in the pyramid since the 19th century.

It is unclear whether the void is a chamber or a corridor, or whether it played any more than a structural role in the pyramid’s construction – such as relieving weight on the grand gallery below. But measurements show that it has similar dimensions to the grand gallery, which is nearly 50 metres long, eight metres high and more than a metre wide.

Scientists discovered the void using sensors that detect particles known as muons, which rain down on Earth when cosmic rays slam into atoms in the upper atmosphere. The muons travel at close to the speed of light and behave much like x-rays when they meet objects. Armed with suitable equipment, researchers can used them to reveal the rough internal structure of pyramids and other ancient monuments.

“We know that this big void has the same characteristics as the grand gallery,” said Mehdi Tayoubi at the HIP Institute in Paris, a non-profit organisation that draws on new technology to study and preserve cultural heritage. “It’s really impressive.” Tomb raiders: what treasures could lurk inside Egypt's lost chambers?

It was where the alien starship was parked.

Tomb is the one thing no pyramid was ever used for.

Thanks ButThreeLeftsDo and Covenantor for the earlier FReepmails, and thanks Red Badger, TXnMA, and vannrox for the pings to the topics, of which there are three! This one being the first gets the main ping, including one to the weekly digest list members. The most closely related set of topics in the FRchives include Update: Return to the Great Pyramid [ Bob Brier & Jean-Pierre Houdin ].

The Pharaohs would have demanded a bucket of KFC chicken be buried with them had it been available in their time.

The interior of the pyramid is too industrial looking. No art decorations like the burial sites in the Valley of the Kings.

Industrial may be correct according to one engineer - strange as it seems, everything points to some sort of power generator - one which suffered a catastrophic failure. Chris Dunn’s book (Giza Power Plant - even if you disagree) has some very interesting observations about the interior structure and crystalline natures of the stones used, and how those properties could have been used to generate some sort of power - the exact nature and use of which seems elusive.

There is another point - the pyramid of Menkaure had a bio-thermoluminescence test run on it before such tests were forbidden. The age came back at around 3500 BC which is about a thousand years too late. According to traditional archeology - the Great Pyramid was build before Menkaure’s.

The more interesting point is that the entire complex was built as one geometrical structure ... many of the pieces - the stelae (many reported to be capped with gold) were removed during the 18th and 19th centuries - others were removed earlier by the Romans. What the original complex looked like and was designed to do, is just speculation.

Rest assured the complex is far too intricate and complex to be just tombs. For instance: why is the Great Pyramid 8 sided?

There is every indication that beneath several of the nearby Temples, there may have been large very heavy objects lowered in to hollow spaces - these could be the actual tombs of the Pharaohs who commissioned them or more likely wished to be associated with the complex; (see Robert Temple’s “Egyptian Dawn”).

“His theory involves the use of a regular external ramp to build the first 30% of the pyramid, with an “internal ramp” taking stones up beyond that height...”

Fascinating theory, only 1,200 views. Jean-Pierre Houdin’s research reveals the probable method, if not the purpose. A practical solution from the POV of an architect.

The stone box in the Great Pyarmid was manufactured to very close tolerances. Things you could not achieve with a copper tool. That’s what I was thinking its an industrial place.

Chris Dunn has a video out about the Giza power plant that you told me about the book .

Arounf 1 hour 36 minutes he mentions the box.

Thanks FN. There’s another older documentary (more like the usual approved narrative type) that has popped up on YouTube, there are multiple versions, I’ve got to hunt it up (I saw it on Roku first) and d/l it before the clean version and the rest vanish. Y’know, because if there’s anything YT doesn’t tolerate, it’s copyright violations! /sarc

Also see this one from last year:

and, the one theory that remains compatible with all others as well as all evidence:
