The identities of two mystery gaps inside the Great Pyramid of Giza may be revealed by a new, ultra-powerful examination of the structure utilizing cosmic rays.
As per prior pyramid scans, the biggest of the 2 voids is situated somewhere above the grand gallery, which is a corridor that leads to what seems to be the enclosure of the pharaoh Khufu. It measures approximately 98 feet (30 meters) in length and 20 feet (6 meters) in height, and it is approximately 20 feet (6 meters) in height.
Archaeologists are unsure what they will uncover in the void, which they believe might be one enormous chamber or multiple little rooms, according to their findings. Additionally, they seek to discover what that emptiness serves as; the most spectacular option is that the aperture leads to Khufu’s underground burial chamber. Another idea is that the hole had a part in the construction of the pyramid, which is more commonplace.
It was built for the pharaoh Khufu during his reign from around 2551 BCE to circa 2528 BCE, and it is the biggest pyramid ever built in ancient Egypt. It is also the sole remaining marvel of the ancient world, having been built for him in 2551 BCE.
New scans
Another team is aiming to scan the Great Pyramid once again, however this time with a more sophisticated device that will study muons in further detail, according to the BBC. Muons are fundamental particles that arise when cosmic rays clash with atoms in the Earth’s atmosphere, resulting in a net negative charge.
They are constantly raining down on the Earth. since they act in a different manner when engaging with different materials, such as stone versus air, scientists could utilize super-sensitive sensors to nail down the particles and map areas that are impossible to physically explore, such as the Great Pyramid of Giza.
