Just because a mystery is 4500 years old doesn’t mean it can’t be solved. Many theories and hypotheses have been published trying to understand how the Great Pyramid of Egypt ‘Cheops’ was built. None of them has been proved so far. Could New Technologies reveal the mystery of one of the Seven World Wonders? This is what ScanPyramids project is about. It is a multinational project (Egypt, Japan, France and Canada) using the most recent non-invasive and non-destructive techniques to “look” through the Pyramids and detect unknown significant voids. Infrared thermography, Muography and 3D Reconstruction, Modeling and Simulation are used to complement each other.
Two main discoveries have been confirmed and published, one on the north entrance of the Pyramid and the second is a Big Void above the grand Gallery.
The SPEAKER: Hany Helal is Vice-president & co-founder of the Heritage Innovation Preservation Institute, Professor at the Faculty of Engineering of the Cairo University and former Minister of Higher Education & Scientific Research of the Arab Republic of Egypt
