Egyptian antiquities officials say they have confirmed the existence of a hidden corridor behind the main entrance of the Great Pyramid of Giza, built during the reign of the Pharaoh Cheops. The find was made by an international team using cosmic-ray muon radiography. The non-invasive technique detected an empty space behind the northern face of the Great Pyramid, about seven metres above the main entrance.

The purpose of the corridor is unknown but researchers say it could have been created to redistribute the pyramid's weight around the entrance or another as yet undiscovered chamber. Christian Grosse, professor of non-destructive testing at the Technical University of Munich, in Germany, worked on the project and says "the pretty interesting thing is it comes with a chevron-shaped roof, so a normal person like you or me can very easily stand in the chamber."

"Two teams from France and Japan... used cosmic particles to penetrate through material... and give indications of density," he added.
