Scientists uncovered a hidden nine-meter long corridor near the main entrance to the Great Pyramid of Giza, officials said Thursday.
The discovery was made as part of the Scan Pyramid project, which has been using non-invasive technology to study the structure since 2015, Reuters reported. Researchers used a mixture of infrared thermography, 3D simulations and endoscopes to explore inside of the structure, which is assumed to be 4,500-years-old (though the age of the Great Pyramid, and all others, is hotly contested).
Mostafa Waziri, who heads Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, said the corridor was presumably created to help redistribute the weight of the structure around the main entrance. Or it could be another currently undiscovered pathway to a different chamber or space within the pyramid.
“We’re going to continue our scanning so we will see what we can do … to figure out what we can find out beneath it, or just by the end of this corridor,” he said of the discovery. Clearly this stunning find, eight after the project started, suggests there is much more to know about this enormous complex.
Establishment archaeologists continue to believe that , Reuters cites the archeological consensus that the Great Pyramid was built as a tomb around 2560 B.C., during the reign of Pharaoh Khufu or Cheops. Other researchers, however, suggest the structure may have been something completely different, like a power plant.
There are still so many unknowns about the Great Pyramid and surrounding artifacts. Many researchers have hypothesized about how the Great Pyramid was built, but this knowledge is still largely lost to history.
As the Pyramid Scan project continues, we can only that more conclusive answers emerge about this forgotten chapter of human history.
Al Cheops vault!
And yet they are “ shocked” when they learn something new about it. What arrogance.

You know, I've never heard the theory put forth that perhaps Hoffa entered witness protection and "disappeared" in return for information. Given the corruption of the Teamsters at the time, and unions in general (at any time) it is not a far fetched conspiracy theory.
>>“power plant?” Better check this out.
Not a power plant. It’s clearly a landing platform for spaceships. I seem to remember a TV documentary on the subject.. “Stargate” something..
“… which is assumed to be 4,500-years-old (though the age of the Great Pyramid, and all others, is hotly contested).”

Credit where credit’s due:
Kudos to DC for unbiased reporting.
I knew it was there.
When I watched them build the pyramid, it was easy to see it being put in.
BTTT
It was NOT a tomb. It was an altar to the LORD; its construction and ancient history points to that.
So stupid..... FTA: Other researchers, however, suggest the structure may have been something completely different, like a power plant.
There are about 118 known pyramids in Egypt, and from the oldest to newer ones they show distinct evolution. And there are at least a few “failed” pyramids, that partially collapsed due to poor planning.
The very earliest (not part of the 118), are naturally occurring, because of wind erosion, so it’s easy to see where they got the idea.
A couple of decades ago, The Smithsonian proposed a simple method to get the stones from the river to the pyramid site and then up on the pyramid itself.
You get two sets of four reusable wooden rockers, held together with wooden pins. This turns a rectangle into a cylinder, which just takes a fraction of the time and effort to move.
Then you use the existing technology of dirt ramps to get them up to the pyramid you desire. The Egyptians were experts at building dirt ramps, and even the Romans learned from them.
As long as you plan ahead, any tunnels and chambers in the pyramid are just integrated into the construction as you build.
Then, after you have emplaced the capstone, you just sweep all the dirt away and there is your pyramid.
It all uses just a fraction of the time and the manpower compared to other methods.
It was a break room for the engineers....................
Yup, but it'd be worth your life to have taken a cell phone pic of the project. Remember what happened to Boris Karloff.
“The worst part is the crap you have to drink for prep.”
From my experience, the worst part comes just after that.

It was getting kind of heated.
This guy named Moses was leading a large group of people out of the area.
Pharaoh WAS NOT HAPPY.
It’s the hidden passageway to the tomb of the black Egyptian kings. Just ask Kevin Hart.
Interesting. You never know...
Paging Dr. Gene Scott!
(Oh, wait, maybe not)
But all the same, quite interesting. I wonder if it points in a cardinal direction of some such.
