Read our privacy policy Scientists have found a secret chamber inside the Great Pyramid. The gap – which is being referred to as a chamber, but is really just a void that doesn't have solid stone within it – sits inside the pyramid and hasn't been found until now. Though that's not as obviously exciting, it could still be incredibly important – it would be the first discovery of its kind and shed some light on how exactly the pyramids were built, a feat that still mystifies experts given its complexity and difficulty. By using multiple plates and triangulating where the holes seem to be, they can build up a picture of where is solid and where's not inside the structure – allowing them pinpoint the size and place of the mysterious chamber.
