team of British and Egyptian archaeologists are excavating beneath the three Pyramids of Giza to find more about the mystery of the Pyramids and their builders.
"The British team, which hails from the University of Birmingham, is using the latest and most up-to-date equipment to seek the mystery of the Pyramids," said Zahi Hawwas, Secretary General of the Higher Council for Antiquities in Egypt. The team is employing a special radar that would help create an archaelogical map of the subterranean region beneath the three Pyramids in Giza, Hawwas added.
The British-Egyptian team will spend the next five years studying the entire region of the Pyramids and the Sphinx, including photographing everything for careful study, indicated Zahi Hawwas.
Already, the team has discovered, through radar-photograhy technique, the possible existence of holes or gaps behind the Sphinx which could be theoretically the burrial spots of the 26th Pharonic dynasty dating back to B.C. 500
That's interesting, however, if anything that is found that has the propensity of altering the course of history, would it be publicisized? I doubt if any Egyptologist would want to find something that could potentialy lend credence to 'pseudo-egyptologists'. Heaven forbid! Personaly, I think it's mostly eyewash, but hey, I'm no scholar by any stretch of the term.
