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".

It’s a large pile of rocks. Of course there are voids.
Hey, the fuzzy headed aliens guy is the only face on TV that one can trust. :^)
Hell, there’s two of ‘em. ;^)
Yes, after generations of telling us the stones were set with such precision that a knife blade can’t fit between any two of them, now the fake Egyptologists (bureaucrats and ex-bureaucrats) are telling us there are voids.
There are ramps, tunnels, and chambers inside the Great Pyramid that can at present only be studied with non-invasive techniques, “but when it comes to the secrets of the Pyramids at Giza, these are known only to Egyptologists, and not to engineers.” (Zahi Hawass)

There’s an amazing amount of ignorance on his page about this, all boiling down to a bad case of “not invented here” syndrome and xenophobia:

A void?
Somebody grab the Tuff Stuff.
Maybe it’s used as a prison of something we don’t really want to release.
Could it be Possible?????
;^)
The building plans and applicable permits are probably stored in one of the voids.........Once found they could probably answer a lot of questions.
Didn’t a French guy write a book years ago stating the pyramids were built from the inside out with ramps spiraling up on the inside? The void is probably a big outhouse for the slaves.
They'll have to modify the kit.
Nice!
Oh, it be. :^)
There’s an unopened chamberjust outside the entrance to the Queen’s Chamber, it was discovered with some kind of non-invasive method back in the 1980s I think, then verified by drilling a hole through the wall (the drililng was approved by the Egyptian gubmint). It has remained otherwise unexplored.

The ban will follow, that’s the pattern.
ScanPyramids mission rushed in announcing ‘discovery of new void’ in Giza’s Khufu’: Egypt antiquities ministry
[snip] “The findings of the ScanPyramids research project have to be first discussed scientifically among scientists and Egyptologists and then reviewed by the scientific committee, which was tasked by Egypt’s ministry of antiquities to supervise research on the matter. This committee is led by renowned Egyptian Egyptologist Zahi Hawass with the participation of the well-known American Egyptologist Mark Lehner and Czech Egyptologist Murslav Barta,” Waziri added.
