New secret of the Cheops pyramid. Secrets and riddles of the Cheops pyramid. Are United Russia planning to raise the retirement age? News

The Great Pyramid of Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops) has not yet been fully explored and keeps its secrets tightly. Each subsequent expedition trying to study the pyramid encounters unknown obstacles. They discover a previously unknown door - behind it they find another...

In 1993, the secret door was discovered by the German engineer Rudolf Gantenbrink, who explored the pyramid using miniature robots. Gantenbrink launched the robot, which he named "Outauout-2", into the ventilation duct on the northern side of the Queen's Chamber. Equipped with powerful lights and a television camera, the robot encountered a wooden pole blocking the passage. After repeated attempts, during which the robot was improved and modernized, it managed to penetrate the barrier and reached a block similar to a door. An image of a block similar to a door, equipped with metal handles, appeared on the monitor screen. A crack was visible under the lower western corner of the “door”. The navigation laser beam aimed at her disappeared inside.

Here's what Gantenbrink said about the results of the study: “Footlines 4 mm deep were found inside the passage. Utuout 2 took photographs of them before walking over them, so these are not traces of the robot itself or anything similar. It is possible that we will find similar grooves on a good part of the inner blocks of the pyramid, and this will indicate to us how the Egyptians were able to achieve such a perfect system of connections between rock blocks. This technique would involve using a bronze saw to cut compartments into these rocks. While examining the rock that blocks the passage at the end of the channel, we discovered small triangular-shaped notches on its upper and lower right corners. Similar incisions are characteristic of the stones used to construct doors in other Egyptian designs. The one in the lower right corner has a size of 5 mm, in the upper - 3 mm. At the bottom of the block there is a small mark running parallel to the door, 0.4 mm wide. During the construction of the canal, this block must have remained suspended in the cavity above the location it now occupies. Marks made in bronze on the front were used as stops to prevent the door from rising again."

On September 17, 2002, with the help of another robot called Upuat II, Gantenbrink managed to penetrate even further into the structure. The robot managed to drill a hole in the previously found door. The thickness of the door turned out to be about 7 centimeters, and behind it, at a distance of 40 centimeters, another door was visible.

The fun started a few days later. The robot was launched into another, northern mine. And in it they found exactly the same “door”, with exactly the same “handles”.

French architect Jean-Pierre Houdin suggests that there are two secret rooms in the Cheops pyramid, the existence of which no one knows anything about. His guess is based on 3D modeling. What might be in them and for what reason the ancient Egyptians hid them from their descendants remains a mystery. According to Jean-Pierre Houdin, there are similar rooms in the pyramid of Snefru, where the father of Cheops is buried.

Currently, the Djedi robot has been developed to further study the pyramids. It is equipped with a video camera on a flexible arm, a compass, an inclinometer to determine the direction and angle of inclination of corridors, and an ultrasonic device to determine the thickness of masonry. On board there is a tiny assistant - an autonomous robot that is able to penetrate a hole with a diameter of only 20 millimeters. The robot also has a miniature drill that can be used to drill through the second door without causing any serious damage.

Like the very purpose of the pyramids, the methods of their construction still remain a mystery to us, but it is gradually becoming clear that the pyramids are not just tombs of the pharaohs.

Researcher Robert Bauval noticed that the location of the three stars in Orion's belt is similar to the location of the Giza pyramids. Moreover, the brightness of the stars corresponds to the size of the pyramids, and the position of the constellation Orion in relation to the Milky Way corresponds to the position of the pyramid complex and the Nile. When the map of Egypt was superimposed on the star map, several other groups of pyramids also aligned with the stars.

There are many details in the designs of the pyramids, the purpose of which is still not clear: granite lintels, grooves in the walls, height differences in the galleries.

To date, the door found in 2002 by Gantenbrink is the most intriguing mystery of the Cheops pyramid. Various assumptions are made, from the very real to the most fantastic. Some suggest that there is the tomb of Cheops’ mother with countless treasures stored there. Others are a hangar in which aliens left the equipment used in the construction of the pyramids...

MOSCOW, November 2 – RIA Novosti. Physicists have found a previously unknown void area in the Cheops pyramid that may be a secret tomb or a passage into it, according to a paper published in the journal Nature.

“When we saw this area of emptiness, we realized that we had come across something very interesting and big, we abandoned all other projects and concentrated on studying this area, located directly above the corridor to the tomb of Cheops. Now we are sure that it really exists, and this "This is the first discovery of its kind in the Cheops pyramid since the Middle Ages, when it was opened by Caliph Al-Mamun in the 9th century," said Mehdi Tayoubi from the HIP Institute in Paris (France).

Physicists have found two “unknown voids” in the Cheops pyramidArchaeologists and physicists have discovered two, as they put it, “previously unknown voids” inside the Cheops pyramid, which may be secret rooms where the remains of Pharaoh Khufu rest.

Secrets of the Pharaohs

The Pyramid of Cheops, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, was built in the middle of the third millennium BC, during the time of Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops), a representative of the fourth dynasty of the Old Kingdom, at the same time as all the “great pyramids” of Ancient Egypt. This structure, 145 meters high and 230 meters wide and long, remains one of the tallest and largest buildings ever created by mankind.

Over the past two centuries, scientists have discovered three rooms in the pyramid, in one of which the pharaoh himself was supposedly buried, in the other his wife, and the third was considered a bait or trap for robbers. In the walls of the corridors that lead to Khufu's tomb, unusual channels and structures were found, which scientists believe are elements of the “security system” that protected the pharaoh from defilers.

The mummies of the pharaoh and his wife were never discovered, which is why many archaeologists believe that in fact their tombs are still hidden in the thickness of the pyramid. Two years ago, scientists from the universities of Nagoya, Paris and Cairo began searching for these secret rooms, studying the pyramid using cosmic particle detectors and telescopes as part of the ScanPyramids project.

Breath of space

Every second, millions of muons are formed in the upper layers of the Earth's atmosphere - charged particles resulting from the collision of cosmic rays with gas molecules in the air. These collisions accelerate muons to near-light speeds, thanks to which they penetrate tens and hundreds of meters deep into the surface of the planet. Scientists' measurements show that every square meter of the Earth's surface absorbs about 10 thousand of these particles.

French archaeologists and physicists, together with Japanese scientists, have adapted telescopes that can “see” muons to search for voids and hidden rooms in ancient architectural monuments.

This technique works very simply - the flux of muons decreases in the air and in empty space much more slowly than when passing through rock or earth, which makes it possible to search for secret rooms by bursts in the muon background.

Last October, participants in the ScanPyramids project announced a sensational discovery - they managed to find several previously unknown voids in the pyramid, which could be the secret tombs of the “lord of two houses” and his wife. This discovery caused sharp rejection among archaeologists and Egyptologists, who accused physicists of incorrectly interpreting the data obtained.

Physics and lyrics

These accusations forced scientists to take repeated measurements using three different muon telescopes. This time, as Tayubi emphasized, the observations were carried out according to the same rules and principles by which the Higgs boson and other particles unknown to science were searched for at the LHC and other accelerators.

“Our measurements absolutely rule out that this void area could have arisen due to differences in the properties of the stones or due to errors in construction,” says Zahi Hawass. Voids of this size and configuration could not have appeared between the blocks by chance, neither with engineering nor any other technology. "The Egyptians were too good builders to screw up the pyramid, leave a hole in it and create a room or corridor somewhere else," said Hany Helal of Cairo University.

Checking whether this is true or not, scientists installed a set of films sensitive to the action of muons in the supposed tomb of Cheops’s wife, and placed semiconductor particle detectors at the bottom of the pyramid. After a few months, they collected the data, processed it and compared it with how muons should move through the pyramid if there were no other voids in it, except for the already known corridors and rooms.

If the initial results of scanning the Cheops pyramid were erroneous, then, as Elal notes, the “pictures” obtained by different muon telescopes would not match. In fact, they turned out to be the same, which confirmed the assumptions of physicists and refuted the insinuations of archaeologists.

The images showed that above the main corridor of the pyramid there is a zone of emptiness thirty meters long, eight meters high and about two meters wide. As Tayubi noted, it can be either a solid corridor running parallel to the ground, up or down, or a suite of rooms. So far, physicists do not have enough data to rule out the first or second option.

Scientists emphasize that they are not interpreting their discovery in any way and do not claim that they managed to find a secret room - this task, according to them, should be carried out by Egyptologists.

Jean-Baptiste Mouret, a physicist at the University of Paris, hopes his team's discovery will convince Egyptian historians that they were wrong in their assessments and will open the door to debate whether it is worth trying to penetrate this void zone. if yes, how to do it.

A new round of history

In the near future, as scientists noted, they plan to continue studying the void zone, as well as other sections of the Cheops pyramid, including the tomb of the pharaoh himself, and will begin to scan other pyramids that may hide secret rooms and unknown voids.

These data, physicists hope, will help us understand exactly how the pyramids were built and whether we can trust the descriptions of their construction, which have come down to our time in the works of Herodotus.

At the same time, as scientists noted, muon scanners can not reveal all the secrets of ancient history. For example, according to Tayubi, they cannot be used to search for the secret tomb of Nefertiti in the tomb of Tutankhamun, the existence of which was recently announced by the famous British Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves.

“Muon scanners cannot be used to study the tomb of Tutankhamun and other burials in the Valley of the Kings for the reason that we do not know how the voids are distributed in the rocks located above them,” the scientist explained, answering a question from RIA Novosti.

Such research, added Sebastien Procureur, a colleague of Moret, is further complicated by the fact that man-made particle accelerators cannot be used to scan pyramids and other ancient buildings, since delivering them to Giza or the Valley of the Kings would entail unacceptably high costs.

“In short, this is simply not feasible. Muons cannot be created directly - they arise from the decays of kaons and pions, and there are too few particle accelerators in the world capable of accelerating them to the required speeds. In addition, they are all very large - at least 700 meters in length. It would be easier for us to transport the pyramid to such a facility than to try to build it in Giza or other parts of Egypt. Therefore, we have to rely on space for such observations,” the agency’s interlocutor concluded.

The fun started a few days later. The robot was launched into another, northern mine. And in it they found exactly the same “door”, with exactly the same “handles”.

Like the very purpose of the pyramids, the methods of their construction still remain a mystery to us, but it is gradually becoming clear that the pyramids are not just tombs of the pharaohs.

There are many details in the designs of the pyramids, the purpose of which is still not clear: granite lintels, grooves in the walls, height differences in the galleries.

Mysteries are overcome by knowledge. Knowledge can be obtained or created.

Every creation of human hands has meaning. “...Everything that arises must have some reason for its occurrence, for it is absolutely impossible to arise without a cause.” (IV century BC, Plato, Timaeus).

What does it mean that one of the “Seven Wonders of the World”, the Cheops pyramid, is like a “Russian nesting doll”, containing two more pyramids, one inside the other?

Let's think, understand the facts and create new knowledge on this basis.

As a “tool for creation” we will take our common sense, the logic of thinking and the knowledge of people who used ideas about the world at that distant time.

So, let's start with the facts.

Firstly, there are three burial chambers in the pyramid. - Three! No one
It doesn’t occur to living people to prepare a tomb for themselves in three “copies.” Moreover, as can be seen from the size of the pyramids, this was a very troublesome and time-consuming task. Egyptian archaeologists have established that the pharaohs built separate pyramids of a much smaller size for their wives, and “family character” was not established in the burials of the pharaohs. From this it follows that at different times the pyramid had three owners (three pharaohs) and therefore each in the pyramid had its own burial chamber.

To confirm this conclusion, consider a cross-section of the pyramid (what it is).

Egyptian historians have established that long before the construction of the pyramids in ancient Egypt in the 4th millennium BC. and even earlier, pharaohs were buried in deep underground halls - “mastabas”, where the mummy was located. In the ground part, at the top above the hall, a low, flat, truncated pyramid was built, in the interior of which there was a prayer room with a statue into which after death (according to faith) the soul of the pharaoh moved. The halls of the premises could be isolated from each other.

Looking at the plan of the section, we can say that the upper prayer room of the first mastaba, which has not been discovered to date (no more than 15 meters high), is located in the center of the pyramid, just below the middle burial chamber (7). If, of course, by the time the second pharaoh built his pyramid over the mastaba, the latter was not destroyed (plundered) or crushed, and was preserved.

A narrow inclined-vertical shaft (12) for lifting the soul from the underground burial pit (5) should rise to the above-ground prayer room of the mastaba. At the exit of the shaft to the surface level of the plateau under the base of the pyramid there is a small grotto (expansion up to 5 meters) the walls of which are partially reinforced with older masonry that does not belong to the pyramid. This ancient stonework is nothing more than belonging to the first mastaba. From the grotto (12) to the center of the pyramid there should be a continuation into the mastaba, which is closed or was later blocked.

According to archaeologists, the underground burial “pit” (5) for some reason remained unfinished. Perhaps for the same reason, the upper above-ground part of the mastaba with the prayer room was not completed (the latter remains to be seen). The unfinished burial structure, located in the most advantageous place, on the top of a stone plateau, served (the pharaoh preceding Cheops) as a pretext and moral basis to take the mastaba as the basis for building his own pyramid over it.

The fact that the age of the Sphinx is estimated to be much older than the pyramids (about 5-10 thousand years) also supports the fact that the Giza plateau was previously “inhabited” by ancient mastabas.

By the beginning of the 3rd millennium BC. in Egypt, burials in mastabas were replaced by more majestic structures - pyramids. The Egyptians also developed another later worldview about the place of residence of the soul after death. - “Whoever lives the time allotted to him properly will return to the abode of the star named after him.” (Plato, Timaeus).

The burial chamber (7) belonging to the second internal pyramid (according to the cross-section plan) is presumably located above the prayer part of the first mastaba. The corridor ascending to the chamber (6) is laid along the wall, and the horizontal one (8) along the roof of the mastaba. Thus, one can “see” the approximate boundaries of the first ancient internal truncated mastaba pyramid.

The second internal pyramid is about ten meters on each side smaller than the current external third pyramid of Cheops. This can be judged by the length of the two so-called ventilation air ducts emanating from the chamber (7) (20 by 25 cm in cross section), which, approximately (according to the pyramid drawing) are about ten meters short of the plane of the current external walls. Of course, these are not ventilation ducts, which the deceased pharaoh did not need. This is a path directed into the sky, oriented with great accuracy (up to a degree) to those stars where, according to the ideas of the ancient Egyptians, the soul of the pharaoh would settle after death. When the second pyramid was built, the channels from the burial room (7) reached the edges of the outer walls and were open to the sky.

The second burial chamber of the pharaoh may also have been unfinished (judging by the lack of its interior decoration). This suggests that the entire pyramid was not completed to the end (for example, there was a war, the pharaoh was killed or died of illness, an accident, etc.). But, in any case, by that time the pyramid had been erected no lower than the height of the walls along the border of the upper part of the “air ducts” (7) emanating from the burial chamber.

The second internal pyramid reveals itself not only with “blind air ducts” and a separate burial chamber, but also with its central entrance (1). It is noticeable that the entrance, approximately the same 10 meters, was recessed inside the outer wall of the third pyramid. This entrance, built before Cheops, was not moved to the border of the outer wall, and therefore, due to the increase in the outer wall, it ended up buried. (Entrance gates are always located somewhat outside the buildings, and not in the depths of the body of the structure).

The next in line, the third owner of the pyramid was Pharaoh - Cheops (Khufu).

Archaeologists and historians, according to the deciphering of hieroglyphs, have established that the Cheops pyramid was built not by slaves (as previously thought), but by civilian builders, who, of course, had to be paid well for hard work. And since the volume of construction was enormous, it was more profitable for the pharaoh to take an unfinished pyramid than to build it from scratch. Again, the most advantageous location on the top of the plateau was “tempting” to use the “underdevelopment”.

The construction of the third pyramid began with the dismantling of the central part of the unfinished second. The blocks raised from the center were used to expand the rows of the third pyramid along the perimeter. In the resulting depth, at a height of approximately 40 meters from the ground, they placed an antechamber (11) and the third burial chamber of the pharaoh (10). The passage to the third chamber only needed to be extended. The ascending tunnel (6) was continued in the form of a large 8-meter high gallery (9). Therefore (and not only because) the passage (6) and the high gallery (9), having the same direction, differ from each other.

After the third pyramid was expanded “at the hips” and about 10 meters were added on each side, the old outgoing channels for the “departure of the soul” from the chamber (7) turned out to be closed. If the burial chamber (7) did not involve burial, then there was no point for subsequent builders to continue the canals. They were simply walled up with external wall blocks.

In September 2002, researchers launched a crawler robot into one of the narrow “air ducts.” Having risen to the end, he rested against a limestone slab 13 cm thick, drilled it, and on the other side of the slab at a distance of 18 cm, the robot saw another stone barrier. These are the blocks of the wall of the third outer pyramid.

During the construction of the third burial chamber of Pharaoh Cheops, new channels (10) were laid to it for the “flight of the soul” to the stars. If you look closely at the cross-section of the pyramid, the channels of the second and third chambers are almost parallel (at one time they were aimed at the same stars). Almost parallel, but not quite! The upper two channels, relative to the lower (closed ones), seem to be rotated clockwise by 3-5 degrees. This is not an accident. Egyptian builders very scrupulously recorded the position of the stars and their direction. Then what's the matter?

The Earth's rotation axis shifts by 1 degree every 72 years, and every 25,920 years, the Earth's spinning axis makes a full circle. This phenomenon is called precession. (The ancient Egyptian priests knew the declination of the axis and the wobble of the Earth around the poles. Plato, however, called the time of rotation of the Earth’s axis of 26 thousand years – “The Great Year”).

When the earth's axis shifts by one degree over 72 years, the angle of view in the direction of the desired star also changes by 1 degree (including the angle on the Sun). If the displacement of pairs of channels approximately differs by 3-5 degrees, then we can say that the difference between the unfinished construction of the second pyramid and the time of construction of the third pyramid of Pharaoh Cheops (Khufu) is 216 -360 years.

Egyptian historians say that Pharaoh Khufu reigned from 2540-2560 BC. By counting the “degree” years back, we can tell when the second inner pyramid was built.

Most likely, the Cheops pyramid was completed and used for its intended purpose. Otherwise, the entrance (1) would not have been closed with granite slabs, and a plug of several granite cubes would not have been lowered down the inclined plane into the ascending passage (6). Thus, the pyramid was tightly closed to everyone for three thousand years (until 820 AD).

The ancient Egyptian name of the Cheops pyramid is read in hieroglyphs - “Horizon of Khufu”. The name has a literal meaning. The angle of inclination of the side face of the pyramid is 51° 50′. - This is the angle at which the Sun rose exactly at noon on the days of the autumn - spring equinox. The sun at noon crowned the pyramid like a “crown”. Throughout the year, the Sun (the ancient Egyptian God - Ra) walks across the sky higher in summer, lower in winter (just like the pharaoh through his domains) and the Sun (pharaoh) always returns to his “home”. Therefore, the angle of inclination of the walls of the pyramid points to the house of the “God - the Sun” and to the horizon of the “house - pyramid” of Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops) - “the son of the Sun God”.

The edges of the walls at an angle to the Sun are not only in this pyramid. In the pyramid of Khafre, the angle of inclination of the face is slightly higher than 52-53 degrees (it was established that it was built later).

In the Mikerin pyramid the slope of the faces is 51°20?25?. Historians do not know for sure whether it was built before the Cheops pyramid or later. But, taking into account the less steep angle of inclination of the walls (if the builders were not mistaken), we can conclude that it was built earlier. In relation to the “degree age scale”, a difference in slope of 30 minutes corresponds to 36 years. Later Egyptian pyramids have higher slopes on their faces.

There are also many pyramids in Sudan, the slope of which is much steeper. Sudan is much south of Egypt and the Sun on the spring day - the autumn equinox - stands much higher above the horizon there. This explains the steepness of the walls of the Sudanese pyramids.

In 820 AD. The Baghdad caliph Abu Jafar al-Mamun, in search of the countless treasures of the pharaoh, made a horizontal break (2) at the base of the Cheops pyramid (which is used to enter the pyramid to this day). The passage was punched to the beginning of the ascending corridor (6), where they ran into granite cubes, which they walked around to the right and thus penetrated into the pyramid. But, according to historians, they found nothing but “half a cubit’s worth of dust” inside. If there was anything valuable in the pyramid, the caliph’s servants took it, and what they left, they took it all out over the next 1200 years.

It seems that along the walls of the gallery (9) 28 pairs of ritual statues stood in rectangular recesses (the exact purpose of the recesses is not known now). But the fact that there were tall statues is evidenced by two facts - the eight-meter height of the gallery (why would height be needed), as well as large round peeling prints on the walls of the gallery from the remains of the mortar with which the tilted statues were attached and leveled (see photo of the gallery in Wikipedia).

I will disappoint those who are mystically inclined to find miracles in the pyramids

Over a hundred pyramids have been discovered in Egypt today, and they are all different from each other. There are different angles of inclination of the faces, there is a pyramid with a “broken side” at a double angle, there are stone and brick pyramids, lined and stepped, even at the base of a rectangular shape (the pyramid of Pharaoh Djoser). If there were some kind of secret law, secret knowledge, and not “varied” opinions, then uniformity would be observed in all the pyramids. - But he’s not there. Even among the three pyramids at Giza, there is no unity. The smaller of the three pyramids of Mikerinus at its base is not oriented strictly to the cardinal points. That is, the orientation of the sides is not given any importance. In the main pyramid of Cheops, the third (upper) burial chamber is not located in the geometric center of the pyramid or even on the axis of the pyramid. In the pyramids of Khafre and Mikerin, the burial chambers are also not in the center.

The Minister of Archeology of Egypt and the current main expert on ancient pyramids, Zahi Hawass, says: “Like any practitioner, I decided to check the statement that food does not spoil in the pyramid. Divided a kilogram of meat in half. I left one part in the office and the other in the Cheops pyramid. The part in the pyramid deteriorated even faster than in the office.”

What else can archaeologists do today in the Cheops pyramid? – Perhaps, try to find an above-ground prayer room from the first mastaba, for which we could drill down (vertically or obliquely in the edges and corners) several holes in the floor of the second (7) burial chamber, until an internal cavity is discovered below.

In case of failure (if the rooms of the room are located away from the drilling), then find a blocked passage from the grotto (12) or dig the passage again. This will not be detrimental to the pyramid, since there was originally a connecting entrance from the burial pit to the above-ground mastaba room. We need to look for him.

The closed Sphinx is of much greater interest in Egyptian Giza.

The stone body of the ancient Sphinx is located from west to east. Burial chambers and burials were also made from west to east. It can be assumed that the Sphinx is an integral part of the above-ground structure above the ancient mastaba of an unknown pharaoh. Searches in this direction would expand the boundaries of knowledge of the history of ancient Egypt or an even earlier civilization, for example, the Atlanteans, whose representatives the Egyptians deified and classified as their ancient predecessor gods.

An identification study by American criminologists concluded that the face of the Sphinx does not resemble the faces of the statues of Egyptian pharaohs, but has Negroid features.

It is possible that the burial chamber with the mummy of an ancient pharaoh of Negro origin is located under the front paws of the Sphinx. In this case, there should be a passage upward from the chamber for the relocation of the “soul” of the pharaoh, for subsequent life in the body of the Sphinx (according to the beliefs of the ancient Egyptians).

The Sphinx is a lion (symbol of royal power) with a human head and the face of a pharaoh. Presumably, the face of the pharaoh (after plastic restoration of the mummy's skull) will be similar to the face of the Sphinx.

The veil over the secret pyramid of Cheops and the Sphinx has been lifted, now you need to “enter”.

“What is comprehended through reflection and reasoning is obviously an eternally identical being; and that which is subject to opinion... arises and dies, but never really exists.” (Plato, Timaeus).

In the entire Cheops pyramid, in the only place under the ceiling, on the powerful vaulted granite slabs above the third burial chamber, there is a hieroglyph made by workers - “Builders, friends of Pharaoh Khufu.” No other mention of the names and affiliations of the pharaohs to the pyramid has yet been found. According to archaeologists, the underground burial “pit” (5) for some reason remained unfinished. Perhaps for the same reason, the upper above-ground part of the mastaba with the prayer room was not completed (the latter remains to be seen). The unfinished burial structure, located in the most advantageous place, on the top of a stone plateau, served (the pharaoh preceding Cheops) as a pretext and moral basis to take the mastaba as the basis for building his own pyramid over it.

For two hundred years, scientists have been studying the Cheops pyramid. During this time, they used different methods of analysis, launched special robots into the middle of the pyramid, and carried out a wide variety of measurements. It seemed that within such a period the pyramid should have revealed all its secrets, but the next discovery shocked even seasoned researchers.

Mysteries of the Cheops pyramid

One of the Seven Wonders of the World has remained a subject of study for more than 200 years. At the same time, the next study reveals a new secret and leads to the emergence of more and more new questions.

The exact date of construction of the pyramid is unknown, since the radiocarbon method used to study the age of the pyramid suggests only an approximate date: from 2680 BC. e. to 2850 BC e. The initiator of the construction was Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops), and the pyramid itself was for a long time the tallest building in the world. However, even today its dimensions remain very impressive, especially considering the time in which construction was carried out. In fact, all work was carried out manually or using simple mechanisms.

In 2017, a papyrus was discovered describing a method for transporting huge blocks. In order to deliver them to the foot of the pyramid, the Egyptians had to divert water from the Nile by laying artificial canals across the Giza plateau. It was along them that the blocks were transported to the construction site on wooden boats connected by ropes.

The Cheops Pyramid is the only one where there are corridors leading both up and down. The main one first goes down, then splits into two more, one of which goes down, and along the second you can go up to the Great Gallery. Already along the gallery you can go to the Queen’s Room and directly to the tomb itself. The tunnel leading down is the passage to the unfinished funeral chamber. The mystery remains that the tomb intended for the burial of the pharaoh turned out to be actually empty.

Already in the 21st century, pyramid researchers discovered voids in the mysterious structures. It turned out that in addition to the three main chambers located inside the pyramids, there are additional rooms.
They tried to study them using different methods, including with the help of robots, but the purpose of the fourth room discovered by scientists is still unknown.

It is noteworthy that in the walls of the main corridor, through which you can get to the Main Tomb, there are quite unusual channels. Researchers are inclined to believe that these channels are elements of some kind of large security system that serves to protect the pharaoh from marauders and desecrators.

New discoveries

One of the three chambers, believed to be a funeral chamber, is actually a mysterious trap designed to protect the pyramid from looters. However, even the corridor leading to the Main Tomb can be deadly.

Pyramid researchers still do not give up trying to unravel all the secrets of the amazing structure. Recently, scientists have begun to use special muon scanners to detect yet undiscovered chambers inside the pyramid. At the same time, the resonating properties of waves were studied. It was assumed that the pyramid could be a giant resonator capable of focusing and amplifying waves.

Physics researchers used a computer model of the pyramid, subjecting it to a powerful attack with radio waves. The results of this experiment were very impressive. It turned out that the pyramid actually has the property of accumulating waves by interacting with them.
Initially, energy accumulates inside the Royal Chamber. Then a powerful flow is directed downwards, actually into a deception chamber, which is located at the very bottom, in the area of the foundation. At the same time, the greatest effect was obtained when using waves of 333 and 230 meters.
The researchers intend to continue their experiments, now using other types of waves. They have no doubt that the results in this case will be positive.

The value of this research is that this property of the Cheops pyramid, as well as other Egyptian pyramids, can be successfully used in the modern world not only to create radio waves, but also for special nanoparticles capable of focusing light.

If this assumption turns out to be correct, then this property will be the first step towards the creation of completely new gadgets, which previously could only be read about in science fiction books. It is assumed that this could lead to the creation, among other things, of a light computer, which will be radically different from its predecessors.

True, these assumptions still need to be verified by conducting dozens of experiments. Scientists believe that the results of the new research may be quite unexpected.

Ancient Egypt has been exciting the minds of scientists and ordinary people since the Great Sphinx was first cleared of sand. And although the land of the pharaohs still keeps many secrets under its sands.
