An international team of researchers has uncovered a previously undiscovered chamber within the Cheops pyramid of Giza. The Cheops pyramid, also known as the Great Pyramid of Giza, is a massive ancient pyramid located in Giza, Egypt. It is one of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex, and it was built during the reign of the Pharaoh Khufu in the Fourth Dynasty, around 2560 BCE.
Standing at over 140 meters tall, the Cheops pyramid is considered the largest and oldest of the pyramids of Giza. It is made of millions of limestone blocks, and it is believed to have taken more than 20 years to construct. 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.
Researchers use an endoscope to look into the chamber, which has probably not been seen by humans for around 4500 years.

The team found an opening between the stones of the chevron, a solid stone construction, through which they were able to run a tube into the chamber. They then used this tube as a guide for an endoscopic camera lens.
