A robot explorer has revealed ancient markings inside a secret chamber at Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza.

The markings, which have lain unseen for 4,500 years, were filmed using a bendy camera small enough to fit through a hole in a stone door at the end of a narrow tunnel.

It is hoped they could shed light on why the tiny chamber and the tunnel -- one of several mysterious passages leading from the larger King's and Queen's chambers -- were originally built.

The markings take the form of hieroglyphic symbols in red paint as well as lines in the stone that may have been made by masons when the chamber was being built.

They claim that these markings are hieroglyphic symbols in red paint.

I for one am calling that an assumption.

What hieroglyphs are these? How do know that they were even created using red paint?

Hasn’t it already been determined that the Queen’s chamber was filled with chemicals ? That these chemicals were possibly dispersed through these same shafts?

Possibly these markings are residue due to some chemical.
