Egypt’s antiquities authorities on Thursday unveiled a newly discovered, sealed-off chamber inside one of the Great Pyramids at Giza, just outside of Cairo, that dates back some 4,500 years ago.
Policemen are silhouetted against the Great Pyramid in Giza, Egypt, Dec. 12, 2012.
The corridor — on the northern side of the Pyramid of Khufu — was discovered using modern scanning technology. It measures 9 meters in length and is 2 meters wide, perched above the main entrance of the pyramid.Archaeologists do not know what the function was of the chamber, which is not accessible from the outside. In 2017, scientists announced the discovery of another sealed-off corridor, a 30-meter chamber — or about 98 feet — also inside the Pyramid of Khufu.
‘’There are two large limestones at the end chamber, and now the question is what’s behind these stones and below the chamber,’’ Grosse said.
