Beware the curse of the pharaohs! Howard Carter feared such a curse when he breached the tomb of King Tut, and it seems he was right. Were the tombs of ancient Egypt deliberately seeded with uranium, and was radiation the “disease that no doctor can diagnose”?

Egypt unveils hidden corridor in Giza pyramid

An international research team has discovered a previously unknown chamber in the Cheops pyramid of Gizeh. As early as 2016 measurements had given reason to assume the existence of a hidden hollow space in the vicinity of the chevron blocks over the entrance.

Now scientists from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have used ultrasound and endoscopy to make an important contribution to confirming this assumption. The status of the Egyptian pyramid as one of the best investigated structures in the world makes this find particularly important.

The Cheops pyramid is considered the largest and oldest of the pyramids of Gizeh. As part of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World it has been thoroughly explored; however, the structure still holds many undiscovered secrets. TUM researchers have now solved one more of the pyramid's mysteries. Read more.
