Robot made in Singapore to reveal secrets of pyramids

August 07, 2004

The Supreme Council of Antiquities SCA Secretary-General Dr. Zahi Hawwas said the secrets of the pyramids will be revealed next year, noting that the council agreed with a Singaporean University to manufacture a robot for revealing what are behind the secret doors inside the pyramid, especially the second and the third ones.

He added that work is underway in the radar project that will be used in revealing what is inside the ground between the second Pyramid and the Sphinx.

This came during the meeting that was held at the Nursery College, Alexandria University in which Dr. Hawwas stressed that the SCA is preparing for a giant project to uncover the sunken the monuments along the River Nile in collaboration with a US company.

The insides of a pyramid [there's nothing secret to it] are depicted on $1 bill - a shining eye and a latin motto. Does one really need a Singaporean robot for it?

If he knows about secret doors they can't be very secret.

...then set aside his magic 8-ball... By the time next year rolls around, Hawas will have another freakin' title added to his name. He really needs a medicine wagon, or some tealeaves, maybe a book on reading bird entrails. :') Adding this topic to the GGG, thanks for the headsup, Constitution Day.

Zowie still maintains the Great Pyramid was built with ropes, ramps, and rollers. If this moron finds anything of interest, he aint gonna let us see it.

It is the third such block discovered within the shafts of the pyramid. The announcement of the discovery was made Monday by Farouk Hosni, Egypt's minister...
