New Discovery Inside Great Pyramid

Archeologists just discovered something new inside the largest pyramid in Egypt. And they did it without doing any digging. They used something called cosmic-ray muon radiography. So here’s how it works and what they discovered!

Dr Hawass has hurt an awful lot of people in the field of Egyptology. Look into his background. This speaks volumes about his integrity, not to mention his credibility.

[BluePhoenix]

Note that Dr. Zahi Hawass was highly against any sort of scanning tech. It was groups outside of the Egyptian Administration of Antiquities that pushed for this science. So credit where credit is due here.

That Egyptologist is corrupt. He covers up far more than he puts out.

[ArchaeAJ]

As an archaeologist i am so happy to see all the pushback on Hawass!

[SineNmine]

Archeologist: discovers something new
Archeologist's boss: that's the opposite of what we're paying you for

[ericneverdasovs]

Ironic to use a clip of Zahi Hawass considering he is suspiciously preventing research of this detected chamber

[Nate-jyli]

Hawass stonewalled the original researcher and ended up appropriating his research after having him discredited

[cosmium_books]

cool fact: the first muogram (image created in this process) was used to find hidden chambers in the great pyramid in 1970, and was proposed by a Nobel Prize winner who first proposed the asteroid impact theory regarding the extinction of dinosaurs and is responsible for the discovery of entire families of subatomic particles! His name was Luis Alvarez btw

This was 20 years ago - and that Egyptologist guy was against letting them do a lot of research giving them a very small window of time to achieve their goals. He has covered up and blocked so many areas from non Egyptian archaeological research while being careless and corrupt with documenting items in the Cairo Museum. I believe he was even fired from the position and banned for a few years before he wormed his way back to the top.

Zahi Hawass deserves to be locked in a jail cell for what he has done to Egypt. He's taking the artifacts and claiming nothing is there. He's been doing it for years...
How has he not been banned from Egypt?
Edit:
Thank you everyone for the likes. I don't really normally have a comment blow up. I'm so excited 😊
I really do appreciate all of you. Bless everyone 🙏🏻

Slight correction. The pyramid you showed is the Pyramid of Khafre, the middle pyramid of the three big pyramids at Giza. The Great Pyramid is the northern one.

If they can be used on shipping containers, could they detect humans that are being trafficked? That could save a lot of lives.

The method is personally pretty cool to hear about because back in high school I did a science project about whether it was possible to use muons to measure depth. I borrowed a small sensor from a local uni and compared results from above ground and down in our subway system. My results were inconclusive, mostly because the sensor wasn’t that sensitive and my method was kinda lazy. But it’s fascinating to see that the idea is viable and has practical use now

Thank you Natalie Portman for sharing this information

"We discovered... A HALLWAY!"

[wdee]

This would be huge if it could be used in the ocean

[johnnyrodesUSA]

If i had a science teacher like her in high school, I'd be a scientist.

[vincnt]

Wow... weren't muons like... incredibly hard to detect 10 years ago? And now we can scan stuff with them? Just amazing.

Edit: How tf did I get 1k likes on a confused thought like this xD Muons were detected in the 1930s, not that difficult. I was thinking of neutrinos... those are still really hard to detect today.

[theSUBVERSIVE]

ironically Zahi Hawass is the type of guy that wouldn't allow the scientists or anyone else to check the pyramid hidden chamber

[AwTickStick]

I don’t mean to be a bummer, but I don’t think that is the most important discovery of the entire 21st century.
