The Scan Pyramids team used non-invasive muography to discover a void in the Great Pyramid. The Big Void was announced and subsequently detailed by muon measurements showing a 9-meter-long corridor near the north face. Academic and government protocols for disclosure remain essential in pyramid research. The technology's potential applications for subsurface imaging have attracted interest beyond archaeology.
