CAIRO – 12 November 2017: For the Pharaohs, the Great Pyramid was a gateway to eternity. An even greater mystery regarding the site arises as a team of scientists has discovered a giant, void space inside.

Archeologists and scholars spend years searching for and studying the secret of the pyramids’ internal structure and the mystery of its architecture. The team discovered the structure’s most recent secret; experts from ScanPyramids describe the void as being the size of an airbus with 200 passengers on board.

“It is a very big void space above the Grand Galley, roughly 30 meters long,” ScanPyramids deputy coordinator Yasser Al-Shayeb told the Egyptian press; adding that the team could not know if the void was horizontal or inclined or made by one structure or several successive ones.
The discovered void cannot be a chamber as it is a long passage, four meters wide and 30 meters long, but the chamber should be of a rectangular and square shape. It is also observed through three different moun-detection technologies, installing emulsion films in the queen chamber in the pyramid and three independent analysis that came up with the giant void inside, according to the team coordinator.

The ScanPyramids team that made the discovery comprise Egyptian, French, Japanese and Canadian scientists who teamed up two years ago in a bid to solve mysteries and understand the inner architecture of the pyramids with the use of modern technologies and infrared scanning under the supervision of a scientific committee assigned by the Minister of Antiquities.
Four similar weight-reliving voids were found on the top of the king chamber to distribute the weight of the pyramids down, giving a scene of the rule upon which Pharaohs built the pyramids.
