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.

‘Heat Anomaly’ Found In Great Pyramid of Giza, Could Be Secret Chamber

An ‘impressive’ heat difference between the blocks has been found at four of Egypt’s pyramids, including the famous Great Pyramid of Giza, researchers say. The finding has been uncovered by a project aiming to penetrate the secrets of the pyramids.

An international team of architects and researchers from Egypt, France, Canada and Japan is taking part in a scientific project called Scan Pyramids, launched on October 25 by the Egyptian Antiquities Ministry. The team uses technology such as infrared thermography to scan and map the pyramids of Giza and Dahshur, according to the Egyptian authorities.

Thermal scanning of the monuments has found that some of the limestone blocks were hotter than others.

“The teams have concluded the existence of several thermal anomalies that were observed in all monuments during the heating up or the cooling down phases,” the statement said, as cited by AFP. “To explain such anomalies a lot of hypothesis and possibilities could be drawn up: presence of voids behind the surface, internal air currents.”

In particular, scientists discovered “thermal anomalies” on the “eastern side of the Khufu pyramid [the Great Pyramid of Giza] at ground level.”

“Khufu will offer us today one of its secrets,” Egyptian Antiquities Minister Mamduh al-Damati told reporters.

However, neither he nor the researchers provided any explanation for the heat anomalies, which could possibly imply the presence of a hidden chamber inside Khufu’s pyramid. Researchers expect more discoveries to come, as the project will continue until the end of 2016.

Khufu’s pyramid, also known as the Great Pyramid of Giza or the Pyramid of Cheops, was built by the founder of the fourth dynasty (2,575-2,465 BC), and is the oldest and tallest of the three pyramids in Giza. It is also the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact.
