The corridor is 9 meters (30 feet) long and more than 2 meters wide, the Ministry of Antiquities said.<\/p>\n\n<p>Egypt&#8217;s Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Ahmed Issa, informed reporters at the ancient site of Giza, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or Cheops, that the &#8220;corridor with a triangular roof&#8221; was found on the north face of the Great Pyramid of King Khufu.<\/p>\n\n<p>The passage is 9 meters (30 feet) long and more than 2 meters wide, the antiquities ministry said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n<p>The discovery is part of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scanpyramids.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ScanPyramids<\/a> project, launched in 2015 as a collaboration between leading universities in France, Germany, Canada, Japan and a group of Egyptian experts. The project is overseen by archaeologist Zahi Hawass, Egypt&#8217;s former Minister of Antiquities, and uses advanced technology to visualize hidden parts of the pyramid&#8217;s interior without having to excavate it.<\/p>\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41467-023-36351-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology used combines<\/a> infrared thermography, muon radiography imaging and 3D reconstruction, all non-invasive and non-destructive techniques. The Great Pyramid is the largest pyramid at Giza, standing 146 meters high and is the only surviving structure of the seven wonders of the ancient world.<\/p>\n\n<p>Built some 4,500 years ago, it has three known chambers and, like other pyramids in Egypt, was intended to be the tomb of a pharaoh. Hawass told reporters Thursday that &#8220;there is a strong possibility &#8230; that the tunnel is protecting something. In my opinion, it is protecting the actual burial chamber of King Khufu.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>In 2017, ScanPyramids announced the discovery of a cavity the size of an airliner, the first major structure found inside the Great Pyramid since the 19th century.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday, officials announced that scientists have discovered a hidden passageway inside Egypt&#8217;s Great Pyramid as part of a seven-year [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":533234,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"two_page_speed":[],"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[107085],"tags":[107184,107187,107191],"class_list":["post-533492","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-science","tag-discovery","tag-pyramid-of-giza","tag-scanpyramids-en"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/staging-7b2a-cerebrodigitalnet.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Untitled-design-8.png","jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pgrue1-2eMI","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":533495,"url":"https:\/\/staging-7b2a-cerebrodigitalnet.wpcomstaging.com\/en\/explore-the-interior-of-the-great-pyramid-of-giza-with-this-3d-and-360-tour\/","url_meta":{"origin":533492,"position":0},"title":"Explore the interior of the Great Pyramid of Giza with this 3D and 360\u00b0 tour.","author":"Alejandra Galaz","date":"March 7, 2023","format":false,"excerpt":"Now you can explore the interior of the Great Pyramid of Giza through a 3D digital tour.
