"Plane sized" void found in the great pyramid

a reply to: LSU0408

I would go too!

Too bad there is a "non-destructive studying" of the Pyramids order. The smaller void is so close to the surface. The urge to move "just a few stones" is strong!

I wonder if they can generate cosmic rays so they know which direction they are coming in from. Maybe get a better mapping that way?

Planes come in many sizes.
So just how big a plane are they talking about here?

Elon Musk needs to start "Pyramid X" for ways to open up the chambers.

We can send up the robot Djedi, but thats not good enough. I think it will turn into the Oak Island treasure fiasco when they sent down the rover that just bounced around in the corner the whole time!

Keep the Lagina Bros out of Egypt!

Maybe they can get Geraldo to host the opening.

Well dang a paywall. On some websites/forum you can read the report on this one I guess not.

bump for later

It's aliens this time, I can feel it!

This sounds like a job for Tom Delonge and to the stars. A few more dollars and he will release all the information.

The size of the void is reported to be 30 meters long and "several" meters high.

I would guess that's about the size of the fuselage of a Gulfstream G650.

Not too big, and not too small.

Pretty cool, but I wonder if any of us will get to know what's there in our lifetime.
They certainly are not going to just start tearing into it.

This might be a stupid question, but could it be from erosion? There might not be much rain now but maybe after thousands of years water was funneled down the shafts and it eroded into a chamber?

bleeping UFO, there seems to be something under the Sphinx.

Or was under it. Does anyone remember the reports that violence started in Cairo was to hide something being removed from the pyramid area? People there saw multi Olympic size pools worth of water being pumped out and removed and large trucks a temporary wall supposedly to protect the area during the violence and huge lights and activity all night?

Interesting too

The author of the article, Egyptian based writer Ahmed Osman, went on to say that the American prophet, Edgar Cayce was famous for interpreting prophecies in the Bible, and had made claims that a secret chamber would be opened at the Pyramid which would announce the coming of the Messiah.
It was well known that Dr. Hawass and Dr. Lehner had had close connections with the son of Edgar Cayce in the 1970s and 1980s, and that Lehner’s education at the University of Cairo had been funded by prominent members of the Edgar Cayce Foundation. There had even been rumors that Hawass’s own education in America had been fixed by Cayce members. Jews believed that Yom Kippur was the Day of Atonement when the long-awaited Messiah would one day come and rule Israel and the world.
Understandably this raised the question whether the airing of the show on Yom Kippur in America was a coincidence or not. Osman was not the only one to raise an eyebrow. During the press conference at the Mena House hotel, a reporter from the Al-Jazeera asked Hawass why he had chosen this specific day for opening the secret chamber in the Pyramid. He was rudely shouted down by Hawass and his friends, the actress Nadia Lutfy, and it seems that this put an end to the press conference.
Later Hawass delivered his coup de grace to the Al Gomhoreya newspaper: "The results of the robot's exploration… refutes the allegations reiterated by Jews and some western countries that the Jews built the pyramids."

I don't think that's realistic. Then again....

It could also be a false positive. The void looks like it mirrors the Grand Gallery, but my personal fear is that it could be a weak space in the Pyramid, and that it could be falling apart from the inside. Since a couple of shafts run through the possible void, it might be a good idea to revisit the drone idea to see what it is.

u know damn well there's no 'weak space' in the pyramid

Kewl! It may be awhile but they will at some point drill in and place a camera/robot into both. I do hope something of interest is found - I suspect something like the relieving chambers - ie rocks, dust and maybe some graffiti!

I envision something like this:

Reading the phys.org article make it sound like an incredibly boring discovery (even if one dont trust Hawass)

Chances of the space containing treasure or burial chambers are almost nil, said Aidan Dodson, an Egyptologist at the University of Bristol, but the discovery helps shed light on building techniques.

"The pyramid's burial chamber and sarcophagus have already been discovered, so this new area was more likely kept empty above the Grand Gallery to reduce the weight of stone pressing down on its ceiling," he said, adding that similar designs have been found in other pyramids.

Egypt's former antiquities minister and famed archaeologist Zahi Hawass, who has been testing scanning methods and heads the government's oversight panel for the new techniques, said that the area in question has been known of for years and thus does not constitute a discovery. He has long downplayed the usefulness of scans of ancient sites. Read more at: phys.org...

The video also shows that the idea it mirrors the gallery is just plain wrong. They have no idea of the angle, the layout, size or anything... The location being 50 to 70 meters up from the ground is pretty diffuse. It's basicly just an "area" up there that is a void of unknown configuration.

Still interesting though. It would be amazing if there is another level above the main one.

a reply to: six67seven

it's amazing the technique used to map the inside using Muons !

what , that seems like star trek # right there.!

When I initially read the thread, I thought muons ,voids, have they discovered a rip in the space time continuum and the egyptians built it to seal it

If Hawass knew about this "void " for years, then why the hell have we just found out about it now ?

a reply to: SlapMonkey

I say "funny," because if so, it's possible that it would indicate something completely different than what is currently stated as historical fact.

"Funny" thing is its really just tombstones in a graveyard holding the most prideful, greedy, self centered kings on the planet, at that time.

Is it possile that it wasn't made but is a collapse of some sort.
