Archaeologists discovered a secret tunnel in the Great Pyramids of Giza.

A recent discovery near the main entrance of the Great Pyramids of Giza has sparked excitement among archaeologists and Egyptologists, offering new insights into the construction and purpose of this ancient wonder. A hidden corridor, measuring nine metres (30 feet) long, was uncovered under the Scan Pyramids project, which has been utilizing non-invasive technology since 2015 to explore the pyramid's interior.

This discovery, located within the last standing Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, could provide valuable information about the pyramid's construction techniques and the function of a gabled limestone structure adjacent to the corridor. The Great Pyramid, built around 2560 BC for Pharaoh Khufu, stands at a height of 139 meters (479 feet) today, originally reaching 146 meters (479 feet) with its white limestone casing. Egypt tours and Egypt travel packages offer an unparalleled opportunity to explore this marvel of ancient engineering and unravel its mysteries firsthand.

The newly found corridor, believed to be unfinished, likely served to redistribute the pyramid's weight around the main entrance, currently used by tourists, or towards another undiscovered chamber. Mostafa Waziri, head of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, expressed the intention to further explore the corridor to uncover any hidden chambers or spaces it may lead to.

This latest discovery adds to the ongoing efforts to unravel the mysteries of the Great Pyramid. In 2017, researchers from the Scan Pyramids project discovered a void at least 30 meters long inside the structure, marking the first major inner structure found since the 19th century. The find underscores the importance of ongoing archaeological work in Egypt, which includes Egypt day tours and Egypt shore excursions, in uncovering new insights into ancient civilizations.
