New discovery inside the Great Pyramid of Giza

Over the years, more and more voices have theorized that the Great Pyramid of Giza in hiding true network of tunnels and rooms which, however, have not been discovered by archaeologists.

Moreover, it was recently stated that there is clear evidence of an empty space that lies behind the northern part of this pyramid and a cavity unknown grows on the north-east structures that are completely separate from the main channels and graves inside pyramid.

Great Pyramid of Giza built for the Pharaoh Khufu was now more than 4,500 years and has a height of 146 meters, recorded the largest building in Egypt at that time.

A project called Scanning Pyramids, which brought together researchers from several universities, and technical companies from around the world, aims to investigate the pyramid in order to see what is inside it using non-invasive methods, scanning the the main method. Because this scan to be performed, they used infrared thermography, 3D simulation and muon radiography, for possible abnormalities in the structure. While infrared thermography method is used to determine variations in temperature in a given room, Muon radiography works like X-rays Regarding the latter method, one of the researchers in this project explains: "As X-rays pass through our body and our skeleton can be seen, these particles (muons) can pass through any structure, even through extremely tough stones. "

Using these methods, researchers have found a cavity known that has a depth of approximately 105 meters and is located in the outskirts of the north-east structure, another variant of a cavity under the entrance gate behind the face of the and north, however, there is no evidence that there is a close connection between them.

However, given that this project was initiated by scientists and not by archaeologists, the latter stated that these abnormalities are a result of building the pyramid. Furthermore, I believe that there is no room above.

Pharaoh Tutankhamun was not really a strong man (virtual reconstruction PHOTO)

Wonderful gold mask worn by the mummy of King Tutankhamun depicting a man as strong and sure of himself. But a virtual reconstruction contradicted those beliefs.

By using CT scans over 2,000 experts were able in 2014 to conduct a virtual autopsy,, '' that depict the pharaoh in the flesh. He had one leg crooked, open occlusion pronounced and female thighs.

Previous theories held that King Tut had died at 19 after a carriage accident, but virtual reconstruction of changed scenario.

'' It is important to note King inability to drive a carriage, mostly because club foot because he could not stand without help, '' said Albert Zink, director of the Institute for Mummies and ice people in Italy.

According radiologist and Egyptology, Ashraf Selim ,, King Tut had Kohler's disease, during adolescence, which was incredibly painful ''.

Other evidence state that archaeologists found 130 sticks treasure tomb of King. Zink pharaoh considered untimely death was caused by his poor health condition. It is the result of genetic deficiencies inherited from his parents who were brothers.

In 2010, a genetic study of reconstructed ancestral line of Tutankhamen. In the study titled KV55 mummy known (probably Akhenaten and KV35YL known as the young lady) were identified as Tutankhamun's brothers and parents.
