Scientists working with the Operation ScanPyramids project say they’ve discovered cavities in the Great Pyramid of Giza, perhaps indicating the fabled corridors and chambers really do exist.

A recent discovery could radically change our views of one of the world’s most famous archaeological sites, Tutankhamun’s tomb.

An international team of researchers said Sunday they will soon begin analyzing cosmic particles collected inside Egypt’s Bent Pyramid to search for clues as to how it was built and learn more about the 4,600-year-old structure.

Scientists will scan four of Egypt’s ancient pyramids starting next month using waves, particles and thermal imaging in order to see what lies beneath their surface.

For decades archaeologists have been searching for a passageway connected to the Great Pyramid, but it was a man digging around his own house who found it.
