Scientists have reported they’ve ‘found’ what appear to be two previously unknown, secret chambers located inside the Great Pyramid of Giza. This discovery proves just how mysterious this enigmatic structure really is.

Experts came across the mystery cavities after performing never-before-seen scanning of the ancient structure using a revolutionary new technology.

Researchers have ‘confirmed’ the presence of an unknown cavity in the northeast corner and the existence of an unknown void on the gateway to the Great Pyramid.

The Great Pyramid of Giza was believed to have been built by Pharaoh Khufu some 4,500 years ago. Throughout history, this ancient monument has been shrouded in mystery.

Its exterior astronomical orientation is profoundly enigmatic and its intricate interior architecture, mainly composed of a descending passage that leads to the underground chamber, and an ascending passage that leads to the Queen’s Chamber and through the Great Gallery into the King’s Chamber.

“…We are now able to confirm the existence of a ‘void’ hidden behind the north face, that could have the form of at least one corridor going inside the Great Pyramid…” (ScanPyramids)

The pyramid is estimated to have around 2,300,000 stone blocks that weigh from 2 to 30 tons each and there are even some blocks that weigh over 50 tons. It is believed that the outer mantle was composed of 144,000 casing stones, all of them highly polished and flat to an accuracy of 1/100th of an inch, about 100 inches thick and weighing approx. 15 tons each.

It was originally covered with casing stones (made of highly polished limestone). These casing stones reflected the sun’s light and made the pyramid shine like a jewel.

They are no longer present being used by Arabs to build mosques after an earthquake in the 14th century loosened many of them.

It has been calculated that the original pyramid with its casing stones would act like gigantic mirrors and reflect light so powerful that it would be visible from the moon as a shining star on earth. Appropriately, the ancient Egyptians called the Great Pyramid “Ikhet,” meaning the “Glorious Light.”

How these blocks were transported and assembled into the pyramid is still a mystery.

ScanPyramids coordinator, Hani Helal, said that “more studies and research will be conducted to establish the nature of these anomalies and their functions and size, which have not yet been identified.”

Researchers have used, for the first time ever, three complementary techniques: Muography, thermography, and 3D-simulation to ‘scan’ the Great Pyramid of Giza “.

According to experts, muography can detect voids or empty spaces inside thick layers of Earth or Stone. Muons are cosmic particles that crash into our planet and an average rate of 10,000 per m² per minute. Muons can be absorbed or deflected by a dense material.

For now, researchers say that these anomalies are just that and that further testing will need to be performed in order to conclude what exactly is inside the pyramid.

Scientists Recreate ‘Machine’ Used By Ancient Egyptians To Guard The Great Pyramid

According to archaeologist Mark Lehner, the ancient Egyptians used a ‘primitive machine’ to protect the Kings Chamber inside the Great Pyramid of Giza from looters.

A trap that was found in the nineteenth century, even though ‘primitive’ was effective. The invention managed to block the corridor that led towards the room with up to SIX giant blocks once the builders of the pyramids were at a safe distance.

The defensive system is described in a new episode of Unearthed shown on the Science Channel last week. The news was reported initially by Live Science.

The new episode explains how the builders of the Pyramids installed grooves into a small room that was located just outside the Kings Chamber were the Pharaoh’s body would be placed.

Lehner, who has been excavating at Giza for over thirty years, explains how the curious anti-theft system worked for the first time.

Even though researchers had knowledge of the mechanism previously, it was digitally recreated for the first time ever in a television program.

Specifically, the animation shows exactly how the device closed off the passageway leading towards the King’s Chamber –the alleged resting place where the mummy of the Pharaoh Khufu was supposed to lay— preventing treasure hunters from accessing the eternal resting place of the Pharaoh.

The builders incorporated ‘grooves’ into a smaller room just outside the chamber. Afterwards, granite slabs would have been placed into them when the work was finished in order to restrict access to the chamber.

In addition, the builders used three other granite blocks which were slid down a ramp to the passageway which prevented anyone from accessing the inner sanctuary. In addition to the King’s Chamber, the Great Pyramid of Giza also has two other large chambers, which are today called the Queen’s Chamber and the Subterranean Chamber.

In the documentary shown on the Science Channel, Dr. Legners says:

“Here Khufu’s builders designed a line of defence against anyone who would enter the King’s chamber had they got this far. These grooves and protrusions are not decorative. They are part of a very primitive machine.”

However, many researchers believe the system was ineffective and that it did not stop treasure hunters from looting the tomb. Archaeologists discovered the tomb empty, and the only thing that was left behind was a fractured red stone that made up the Pharaoh’s sarcophagus. Researchers speculate –they are not 100 % certain— that the tomb was looted shortly after it was completed.

Since the mummy of Pharaoh Khufu was never found within the King’s chamber, and there are also no records that mention any sort of tomb or Pharaoh Khufu, the questions that we raise is: What was the intricate ancient device actually protecting? Was it keeping something from going inside the chamber? Or is there a possibility that the machinery was placed into position in order to prevent ‘SOMETHING’ from exiting the Pyramid?

According to Dr. Lehner, Khufu’s eternal resting place was looted sometime after the collapse of the Old Kingdom, around 2134BC. However, other researchers suggest that the tomb of Pharaoh Khufu still remains undiscovered and is still somewhere inside the Pyramid, in an undiscovered chamber within the 2.3-million-stone-block monument.
