NEW SCANNING TECHNOLOGY FOUND A NEW MYSTERY TUNNEL INSIDE THE PYRAMID KHUFU

A novel scanning technique has now led to the discovery of a hitherto unknown nine-meter-long passage inside the Khufu pyramid.

The finding, which was made in the northern portion of the pyramid, was made as part of the international archaeological project “Scan Pyramids,” which used infrared thermography and muon tomography to create three-dimensional images of the Great Pyramids of Giza’s interiors. This brand-new scanning technique is intended to give academics a secure, non-intrusive way to investigate old structures.
