Scientists uncover hidden corridor in the Great Pyramid of Giza using non-invasive technology, which they believe could lead to more discoveries.

Scientists discover hidden corridor in Pyramid of Giza through cosmic-ray muon radiographyA hidden corridor inside the Great Pyramid of Giza has been detected for the first time.abc.net.au/news/scientists-uncover-hidden-corridor-in-great-pyramid-of-giza/102047768A nine-metre long hidden corridor has been discovered close to the main entrance of the 4,500-year-old Great Pyramid of Giza, which Egyptian antiquities officials believe could lead to further findings.

Scientists detected the corridor through cosmic-ray muon radiography, before retrieving images of it by feeding a 6mm-thick endoscope from Japan through a tiny joint in the pyramid's stones. The pyramid was constructed as a monumental tomb around 2560 BC during the reign of the Pharaoh Khufu, or Cheops.Built to a height of 146 metres, it now stands at 139 metres and was the tallest structure made by humans until the Eiffel Tower in Paris in 1889.
