3D Scan Will Reveal What's Hidden Inside The Great Pyramid Of Egypt
The Great Pyramid Of Egypt has been a source of wonder and amazement for archeologists and scientists for millennia. Its mysteries might finally be uncovered with the help of advanced technology, possibly revealing details never seen before. Little is known for certain about this massive structure's origins. The largest of the world's ancient pyramids, the Great Pyramid Of Egypt has been the subject of fantastic speculation about lost building techniques and hidden knowledge.
Standing over 450 feet tall, the Great Pyramid Of Egypt dwarfs most ancient structures and was the tallest constructed object in the world for thousands of years. It is still among the world's most massive buildings, with an estimated weight of over 6 million tons. Being constructed of limestone, granite, and marble, the outer white limestone would have shone brightly in the desert sun, however, earthquake damage, weathering, and 'borrowing' materials for other buildings have taken a toll on the appearance, leaving only a few of the outer casing stones in place.

As fascinating as the outer appearance of the Great Pyramid Of Egypt is, the interior is where the mystery lies. Scientists are hoping to shed light on hidden details with the use of muon tomography. Known as the Explore the Great Pyramid (EGP) mission, details of the planning were recently published in Cornell University's arXiv (via Universe Today). Using a muon scanning system that should be 100 times more sensitive than previous designs, scientists will peer inside the Great Pyramid of Egypt to find any hidden details and refine the work that has been done so far by the ScanPyramid team.
