An international team of scientists has discovered a large hidden cavity within Egypt’s Great Pyramid of Giza, and they did it by looking for muons — particles sent to Earth by cosmic rays from space.

Scientists used muons, a by-product of cosmic rays, to image the interior of the Great Pyramid—and found a previously unknown space inside. Christopher Intagliata reports. For 4,500 years, the Great ...

According to a study published in the journal Nature, large space was discovered within the Great Pyramid in Egypt, the first major one since the 19th century. Using an imaging method called muon ...

The pyramids at Giza were simply built, one block at a time. But how did the worker actually move the massive material? Three physicists from Indiana University have put together a method to move ...
