According to [Dr. Zahi] Hawass, advanced scanning technology and remote-controlled robotics have successfully mapped a massive, previously inaccessible 30-meter-long (98-foot) hidden corridor deep within the body of King Khufu’s pyramid. Even more tantalisingly, the passage terminates at a completely sealed, ancient stone door—a threshold Hawass promises will “rewrite a chapter in the history of the pharaohs," Futura-Sciences reported.Thanks to non-invasive and non-destructive technologies, we've know about this corridor and the chamber for some time. See the links collected here. But the news seems to be the corridor has been robotically mapped and that there is some kind of plan to open the mystery door. The Pulse has more on the robot's adventure, with an unlabeled photo, presumably taken by the robot, of what seems to be the corridor and door.The full, official physical exploration and opening of what lies behind that door is slated to be broadcast globally.
What is behind the portal? We'll see. 🚪🤖
