Zahi Hawass, who heads the ScanPyramids science committee overseeing the project, said there was no new "discovery".
He said he had met other scientists from ScanPyramids who "showed us their conclusions, and we informed them this is not a discovery," he told AFP.
"The pyramid is full of voids and that does not mean there is a secret chamber or a new discovery," he said. In a statement on Friday, the head of the government's antiquities council Mustafa Waziri also criticised the announcement.
"The project has to proceed in a scientific way that follows the steps of scientific research and its discussion before publication," he said.
The monument—139 metres high today, and 230 metres wide—was erected as a tomb for Khufu, also known as Cheops. To this day, nobody knows quite how it was built. The void, said co-author Kunihiro Morishima from Nagoya University in Japan, "was not known by anyone until now, from when the pyramid was built 4,500 years ago".
"The big void is completely closed," he added, which means anything inside it would not have been "touched by anyone after the pyramid (was) built".

Lol. Can this “expert” Zahi explain how the Egyptians knew where to build the pyramids without modern sonar technology? Or give a lecture on the various Pharaoh’s tendency to rename everything after themselves? Another fraud making shyt up.
You mean hype master Rachel Madcow? Rachel took Gerlaldo’s position with Trump’s Tax Return fiasco.
Zahi Hawass went to an American University. But I always felt like he was hiding something when it came to the great pyramid. There are things that he does not want people to see and know.
Thanks BenLurkin (topic) and Covenantor (additional ping and cross-cultural comment). The comments are from Zahi "Zowie" Hawass, who is an Egyptologist in name only. He also denies that radiocarbon dating works in Egypt, that Reeves' discovery of the pit tomb KV63 was valid because it used ground penetrating radar, and hates the Jews. It is my sincere hope that he doesn't see a single dawn in 2018, or December 2017 for that matter.
LOL! I hadn’t seen ‘Zowie’ before ;-)
In the end, what we term the ‘relieving chambers’ were not constructed to protect the King’s Chamber, but to protect the nearby antechambers. Nor are the ‘ceilings’ really ceilings, but beams that retain the side walls of a large void (described nowadays as a ‘reinforced trench’). Hemiunu and Ankhhaf, the Viziers of Khufu’s Great Royal Works, were not only great architects, they were also great engineers.
He’s an arrogant asshole who treated the antiquities as if they were his personal possession.
:^) I used to use it all the time, before Zahi lost his position as super over Egyptian antiquities after Morsi took over.
That's sure the way he comes across on TV!
But to be fair to his eminence, so far, I have not seem him insist that someone kiss his ring..
/S
One of SunkenCiv's favorites.
Zowie is a jerk. I put him in the same category as the celebrity “theology professor” who defrauded me out of some research, and the idiot astrophysicist who didn’t even know how to pronounce “Uranus” on Family Feud.
The Three Stooges of the History Channel.
(((And let’s not even get into the fuzzy headed “Alien” guy!)))
When he was in power, he essentially demanded that EVERYONE ‘kiss his ring’ ;-)
Here’s Zowie in some of his charming moments - and it doesn’t matter if you buy-into the alternative theories of people like Bauval, Hancock, Sheldrake, or not; this is not how a man who purports himself to be a civilized scholar conducts himself:

All the Zowie fans are down in the “void.”
Nasty little man.
Probably making up for ‘little’ with bombast ;-)
Ah! That would explain everything! hahaha
