The Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities and the ScanPyramids project team announced on Thursday that they had discovered the presence of a corridor inside The Pyramid of Cheops this may lead to pharaoh’s burial chamberis still a mystery, since even his Mother nor his treasure.
Egyptian Antiquities Minister Ahmed Eissa confirmed at a press conference in front of the Great Pyramid that scientists from both teams “discovered a corridor whose ceiling is chevron-shaped, extending 9 meters deep and 2.10 meters wide. “.
According to the minister, the project implemented in the only surviving ancient wonder of the world “universities from France, Germany, Japan, Canada and Egypt“.
On the other hand, Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, Mostafa Waziri, told the media that according to his theory, the corridor found at the northern entrance to the pyramid is “to relieve the pressure of another corridor It is not yet known where it leads.
“We are striving to find the treasures of King Cheops, since the treasures of all the kings have already been found, except for Cheops. And therein lies the mystery,” the Egyptian official said.
According to the famous Egyptologist Zahi Hawashead of the scientific committee responsible for the ScanPyramids, this is a “great discovery” since the discovery of Cheops is “unique pyramid “, which has three levels in which he believes that in the investigated structure “something is hiddenor “protecting something else”, seven meters below this corridor.
“So far, the real burial chamber of Cheops has not been discovered. So, the hypothesis is that it hides or protects the hitherto undiscovered burial chamber of Cheops,” he said, calling it “the most important discovery of the century.”
The Great Pyramid of Cheops, the tallest of all, at 146.59 meters, and the most important structure of the Old Kingdom, was built during the reign of khufu (2550 BC – 2527 BC), second pharaoh 4th dynastyand whom Herodotus called Cheops.
Mohamed Mohi, assistant project coordinator for the ScanPyramids project, told EFE that his team is “scientific” and leaves “archaeological hypotheses to Egyptologists,” citing the possibility that Cheops’ burial chamber is located there.
He explained that they had made an infrared scanner with ground penetrating radar and with x-ray cosmic rays known as “moon” (which are activated when subatomic particles from space come into contact with the Earth’s atmosphere), a non-invasive method that is used in various fields, especially in archeology.
“And thanks to this, we were able to come to an accurate and confirmed conclusion that there is a corridor here,” he said.
From a hole in the pyramid, they managed to insert an endoscope to find this void in the corridor, so they did not have to use antiquity-destroying means, he said.
The ScanPyramids project was launched in 2015 under the auspices of the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities to decipher the interior of three ancient pyramids. Giza and in which experts from Japan, France, Canada and Egypt participate.
In 2017, the team showed in a study published in the journal Nature that they found a new hole in the pyramid of Cheops near 30 meters long and unknown uses, a discovery that appealed to particle physics.
However, this discovery was then heavily criticized by the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities, as it accused the ScanPyramids research group of being hasty and using propaganda terms in publishing the study in Nature.
The announcement is the latest in a series of openings that Egypt has been promoting in recent years in hopes of attracting more tourists amid the Arab country’s economic crisis exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic. COVID-19 and Russian invasion Ukraine.
