Secret Chamber at Great Pyramid of Giza Discovered by Archaeologists

Among the mastabas of King Khufu’s elite, an intriguing find includes an empty above-ground section that leads to a complex of buried ancient structures.

This adds to the mysteries awaiting discovery in this historic land.

Sato noted that the corners of the L-shaped structure are so precise and “too sharp” to have formed naturally.

This could possibly explain why a significant portion of the crowded necropolis remains untouched above the sand.

However, this discovery raises more questions than it answers.

Using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), researchers from Higashi Nippon International University, Tohoku University, and Egypt’s National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics unearthed this hidden historical artifact without the need for physical digging.

This advanced approach has illuminated new aspects of this ancient site between 2021 and 2023.

The structure measured around 32 by 50 feet, buried at depths of 1.6 to 6.5 feet.

This structure measured between 11.5 and 33 feet below the surface, surpassing the depth of the L-shaped formation.

This suggests it might have served as a passageway to a lower tomb, a common practice among ancient Egyptians to deter intrusion.

Discrepancies in the data from the two methods were noted, and anomalies may be exaggerated.

The contents of the deeper structure will need to be further studies to determine whether it is filled with sand or completely void of artifacts.
