Story Overview

In 2017, physicists fired cosmic ray particles through the Great Pyramid and discovered something extraordinary — a massive previously unknown void, 30 meters long, hidden above the Grand Gallery. The ScanPyramids project used muon tomography, a technique from particle physics, to see inside solid stone without drilling a single hole. What is this void? A stress-relief chamber? A hidden burial room? A corridor to something even deeper? After 4,500 years, the pyramid has revealed it still has secrets.
