Scans Reveal Unknown 'Voids' in Giza Pyramid

Summary

Researchers found two hidden spaces in the Pyramid of Menkaure in Egypt using advanced scanning techniques. These voids could help explain a mysterious feature on the pyramid's eastern side and might indicate a second entrance.

Key Facts

  • Researchers from Cairo University and the Technical University of Munich discovered two unknown spaces inside the Pyramid of Menkaure.
  • The pyramid, nearly 200 feet tall, was built around 2510 BC as a tomb for King Menkaure.
  • Scientists used non-destructive scanning techniques like georadar and ultrasound to find these voids.
  • The voids are located 4.6 and 3.7 feet behind the pyramid's surface.
  • One of the voids measures about 3.2 feet high and 4.9 feet wide; the other is smaller, under 3 feet tall and 2.3 feet wide.
  • The findings might support the idea of a second hidden entrance on the eastern side of the pyramid.
  • This is not the first discovery by the ScanPyramids project, which previously found an unknown chamber in the Pyramid of Khufu.
