The Great Pyramid of Giza was built as a monumental tomb in 2560 BC. Now its height reaches 139 meters.
Not far from the main entrance to the Great Pyramid of Giza, scientists discovered a nine-meter-long hidden corridor. They believe this could lead to further discoveries. This was reported by Reuters.
It is known that the new discovery was made as part of the Scan Pyramids project, which since 2015 has been using innovative technologies, including infrared thermography and 3D modeling, to look inside the structure.
According to scholar Mostafa Vaziri, the corridor was probably created to redistribute the weight of the pyramid around the main entrance, which is now used by tourists.
“We’re going to continue scanning to see what we can do… to find out what we can find under this or at the end of this corridor,” he added.
