Special pyramid The fact that there is a large gap inside raises a question mark. Why might this gap arise?
For to the pyramid This gap, which is completely unknown, has also become a matter of curiosity in the scientific world. So let’s see what this gap is.
This gap was detected thanks to a scanning method using subatomic particles called ‘muons’ sent to Earth by cosmic rays.

muonsare high-energy particles that fall to Earth as a result of cosmic rays interacting with the atmosphere. As these particles pass through dense rock masses, they allow scientists to map solid and empty areas.
Scan pyramids Research conducted as part of the project also revealed the existence of a large opening in the pyramid. This space, located just above the pyramid, is approximately 30 meters long, 8 meters high and 2 meters wide.
So why does this gap exist?

It is estimated that this opening is a structure built to relieve pressure between the huge stone blocks of the pyramid. Some researchers argue that this gap exists large stone blocks in the pyramid It also suggests that it may have been a ramp used during installation.
There are actually several theories about the purpose and function of the void. From the Ancient Egypt Research Partnership in Boston Mark Lehrerstates that the space could not have been a room for the tomb of Pharaoh Khufu. Because this area is quite far from the main burial chamber of the pyramid and physically inaccessible.
So the first theory is that the void could be a passageway or symbolic space for the pharaoh’s soul.
Another view is that this area is related to a construction technique used to support the structural integrity of the pyramid. Actually, this theory makes the most sense of all. Because these gaps may have been left during the construction of the pyramids to optimize the placement of stone blocks. This space is too balance and firmness It seems like a necessary technical solution to provide
Although it is a bit difficult to say exactly what purpose a space is left for, it seems to be becoming more widely accepted as one of the structural techniques. Again the mystery of Egypt More research is needed to solve it.
