Researchers have discovered the existence of a secret chamber in the Great Pyramid of Giza. Once the tallest man-made structure on Earth, the Great Pyramid has fascinated scholars, scientists and explorers for thousands of years. Despite all the research on the structure, the pyramid somehow remains a mystery.

This newly discovered room is just another part of that mystery. A layer that scientists are trying to remove by detecting cosmic ray muons. They shed light on this secret chamber in the Great Pyramid in a 2023 article published in the magazine. Naturewhere an international research team is revealing more details about it.

According to the researchers, the corridor is about 1.8 meters wide and is located just above the main entrance on the north side of the pyramid. The existence of this mysterious secret room in the Great Pyramid was first revealed in 2016 and 2017.

It is unclear what the exact purpose of this corridor is. However, this is not the only secret chamber lurking in the Great Pyramid of Giza. The researchers also discovered what they called the “Great Void,” a large empty space inside the pyramid.

Researchers believe this corridor, and possibly even the “Great Gap”, was created by the pyramid’s original builders to help distribute the weight of the structure and prevent it from collapsing. The researchers say the secret chamber they discovered in the Great Pyramid was most likely an intentional design.

ScanPyramids, the mission behind the biggest discoveries related to the Great Pyramid, has released a video of the various discoveries, showing how a secret passageway overlaps with the northern zigzag seen at the entrance to the Great Pyramid.

Researchers believe that this corridor may still be a balancing corridor, as it was used in another part of the Great Pyramid. It is hoped that by learning more about the Great Void and this secret chamber, scientists can learn more about the construction of the structure.

It is also possible that the corridor leads to another room, a secret room that may be filled with antiquities that will give historians more information about ancient Egypt. We’ll just have to wait and see where the evidence takes us.
