Scientists have discovered a previously unknown corridor within the Giza Great Pyramid of Egypt as part of a seven-year international research project. The corridor, measuring nine meters in length and more than two meters in width, was located in the northern part of King Hufu’s Great Pyramid. The discovery was made during the ScanPyramids project, initiated in 2015 and involving Egyptian experts collaborating with universities in France, Germany, Canada, and Japan. The project utilizes infrared thermography, muon thermography, and 3D reconstruction to study the pyramid’s interior without excavation. The Hufu pyramid, also known as Cheops’ pyramid, is the largest of the Giza pyramids, standing at 146 meters tall. Constructed approximately 4,500 years ago, the pyramid contains three chambers and is believed to have been built as a tomb for the pharaoh. Scientists speculate the corridor may have been constructed to safeguard a significant space, potentially including the burial location of Hufu. In 2017, the ScanPyramids project announced the discovery of a space equivalent in size to a passenger jet, marking the first large structure found within the Great Pyramid since the 19th century. The term corridor is used to describe the newly found passage.
