Scientists discover hidden chamber in Egypt맥스카지노s Great Pyramid
Scientists have found a hidden chamber in Egypt맥스카지노s Great Pyramid of Giza, the first such discovery in the structure since the 19th century and one likely to spark a new surge of interest in the pharaohs.In an article published in the journal Nature on Thursday, an international team said the 30-meter (yard) void deep within the pyramid is situated above the structure맥스카지노s Grand Gallery, and has a similar cross-section. The purpose of the chamber is unclear, and it맥스카지노s not yet known whether it was built with a function in mind.The scientists made the discovery using cosmic-ray imaging, recording the behavior of subatomic particles called muons that penetrate the rock similar to X-rays, only much deeper.
