- 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.
