Concurrent with the 2008 NRI survey, a separate Cairo University and University of Wrocław (Polish) mission focused on the pyramid itself using GPR and core drilling. Bore holes revealed mother rock at roughly -18 meters below surface. De Cordier emphasizes this Polish mission was entirely separate from the Gent-backed survey.
