Scan Pyramids Redux

This article is fairly recent. It's not a slow news day regurgitation either. There's nothing really new to report. However, it is a bid to solicit funds for the next series of scans. They got permission to conduct the tests, now they need to drum up the support. Even if they got the funds today, the results are expected no sooner than about 5 to 6 years afterwards. That includes 2 to 3 years to build the equipment, 2 to 3 years to conduct the tests & at least 2 years to analize the results. They're trying to notch up the excitement factor to get the ball rolling.

Archaeologists are uncertain as to what they will find in the void, which could be one large area or several small rooms, they said. They also hope to find out the function of that void; the most fantastic possibility is that the opening is the hidden burial chamber of Khufu. A more mundane possibility is that the cavity played some role in the building of the pyramid.

An even more "mundane" possibility is that the internal fill settled after one of the many earthquakes that have rocked the region in the last 4,500 years. But, who would ante up for that?

Too true. They even hinted that the technology has advanced so far in the interim that it can tell the difference between possible contents such as air/empty, stone fill & wood or metal artifacts. I'm just as curious as anyone else, but don't piss in my ear & tell me it's raining.
