Hidden Voids in Menkaure Pyramid Suggest Possible Secret Entrance
Researchers from Cairo University and the Technical University of Munich have discovered two concealed air-filled anomalies inside the Menkaure pyramid, the third-largest pyramid at Giza. These findings, part of the ScanPyramids project, suggest the possibility of an undiscovered entrance on the eastern side of the pyramid. Using advanced techniques such as radar, ultrasound, and electrical resistivity tomography, the team identified two voids behind the eastern facade, which has long puzzled researchers due to its unusually smooth and polished granite blocks. The voids, located at depths of 1.4 meters and 1.13 meters, provide the first solid evidence supporting the hypothesis of a second entrance.
