Egyptian antiquities officials confirmed the discovery of a hidden corridor within the Great Pyramid of Giza.
The corridor was first detected in 2016 through muography, the process of recording the trajectories of particles known as muons to form images.
This is the first major structure discovered inside the pyramid since the 19th century.
- The discovery is part of the "Scan Project," which aims to locate existing pathways through the pyramid using non-invasive technology.
- The nearly 30-foot-high chamber has been located and is being studied to determine its purpose.
- The pyramid contains many mysteries, and this discovery offers a tantalizing glimpse into the hidden secrets of the structure.
The Great Pyramid of Giza was built as a tomb for Pharaoh Khufu and is one of the last standing ancient Seven Wonders of the World.
