Scientist finds a hidden chamber in Egypt’s Great Pyramid of Giza. The mysteries inside the Pyramid is still a great wonder for science world. The latest findings had ignited the debate over Pharaohs.
According to an article published in a science journal, an international team endeavoring the pyramids said that a 30 meter long void deep within the pyramid is situated above the structure’s Grand Gallery. The purpose of the chamber is still unclear, scientists are looking into the functionality of the chamber. Using highly improved techniques like cosmic ray imaging, the scientist observed the behavior of subatomic particles called muons that penetrate the rock similar to X-ray.
They pass through empty spaces but can be absorbed or deflected by harder surfaces, allowing scientists to study their trajectories and discern what is stone and what is not.
The Pyramids at Giza, the last surviving wonder of the ancient world, have captivated visitors since they were built as royal burial chambers 2,500 years ago. Experts are still divided over how they were constructed, so even relatively minor discoveries generate great interest.
Speculation that King Tutankhamun’s tomb contains additional antechambers stoked interest in recent years, before scans by ground-penetrating radar and other tools came up empty, raising doubts about the claim.
