The various means of investigation of the Mission ScanPyramids start talking: two cavities were discovered in the pyramid of Cheops and will ask for further analysis.
This is from the month of October 2015 that the mission ScanPyramids tries to unravel the secrets of the pyramids using advanced but non-invasive techniques such as radar surveys, thermographic and muon radiography.
The objective is to try to detect any unexplored rooms or structural elements helping to better understand the construction and function of pyramids. Anomalies had been detected in the early months of 2016 but new listings have to excite the imagination of Egyptologists.
The ScanPyramids Mission announcement and have discovered two cavities in the Great Pyramid of Cheops. One is on the side of the north-east corner, at 105 meters high while the other is located at the north side and could correspond to a large hallway or more superposed corridors sinking to the heart of the structure.
New analyzes should specify the shape and position of these new structures and the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities is content for now to evoke anomalies identified in the pyramid, preferring to keep a reserve contrasts with the thundering ads debut.
If thermography unveiled a potential cavity on the side of the north face is detected by muon and a 3D mapping by the Dassault group that the existence of a possible corridor, or less of a cavity, a confirmed.
It remains to determine the depth of this empty space and its possible communication with other cavities or rooms in the heart of the pyramid and new tests could deliver answers before the end of the month.
