A void inside the Great Pyramid was detected via muon scanning — study published in 2017 — now estimated at around 30m (over 98 ft) long, with a cross-section similar to the Grand Gallery. Still no plan to investigate. They just need to drill a 1-inch hole for a camera. Could be a pharaoh's tomb, construction evidence, or something else entirely 🔬📜
