New scans revealed unprecedented details about the internal structure of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The so-called Big Void inside the Pyramid is now measured at 40 meters in length. Its contents remain a profound mystery.
ScanPyramids, as the project is called, is a cross-disciplinary multinational archeological mission that uses state-of-the-art, non-destructive methods to scan various monuments for hidden cavities, chambers, or structures. This is achieved by using infra-red thermography and muons tomography.
Muon tomography essentially uses cosmic ray muons to produce three-dimensional images of volumes using information stored in the Coulomb scattering of the muons. Muons can penetrate much more deeply than x-rays, reason why experts use muon tomography to image through much thicker material than x-ray based tomography...
In 2016, the devices from the ScanPyramids project revealed the existence of a cavity situated behind the chevrons of the north face, but without being able to determine its exact architectural shape...
The Mysterious void is located just above the Grand Gallery, no more than 15 meters above it. Its minimum length has been reestimated thanks to the new scans to 40 meters in one single section. Its slope, however, remains debatable.
The new scans saw experts install new devices inside the Grand Gallery to observe the "Big Void" from several angles. Nagoya University placed several devices along the Grand Gallery. Other devices were installed in the King’s Chamber and the relieving chambers above it.

Since you didnt finish the story Ill assume they didnt find the “missing” pyramid mummies there either.
I fell in love with LeeLoo during that movie.
That will definitely void the pyramid warranty.
The fact that people have been in and out of the Great Pyramid for more than 2000 years suggests that it's been picked clean, as had most of the Valley of the Kings tombs.
There were remnants of painted plaster inside, those have fallen off in the past couple centuries. One had a reference to such-and-such a year of the cattle drive during the reign of Khufu. The How Mighty Is The Great White Crown of Khufu work gang left their graffiti in one of the relieving chambers above the king's chamber.
The architect's burial (though not his mummy) is located within site of his work. Khufu's mom's tomb was built near his pyramid, and her tomb was robbed during the construction. The Great Pyramid was built for and used as the tomb of Khufu.
Oh, I get it now. [blush]
hahshahh That was funny!
Fascinating article. Thanks for posting.
