🔍 Hidden Corridor in Great Pyramid of Giza
A newly detected passage above the main entrance, revealed by muon radiography in 2023
📋 Fast Facts
- Discovered in 2023 using cosmic-ray muon radiography technology
- Measures approximately 9 meters long and 2.1 meters wide with a gabled ceiling
- Located directly above the pyramid's main entrance
- Purpose believed to be structural weight redistribution, protecting the entrance from collapse
In November 2023, Egyptian authorities announced the detection of a previously unknown internal corridor within the Great Pyramid of Giza, located immediately above the monument's main entrance. The discovery was made possible through non-invasive cosmic-ray muon radiography, a technique that allows scientists to visualize dense structures without physical intrusion. This finding represents a significant development in Egyptology and demonstrates the continued potential for technological ...
