Advanced scans reveal hidden voids in Egypt’s Pyramid of Menkaure that could point to lost entrance Cutting-edge scanning technology (GPR, UST, ERT) has detected two air-filled voids behind the Pyramid of Menkaure’s polished eastern facade, supporting a 2019 hypothesis of a concealed second entrance. The non-invasive techniques used by the ScanPyramids team—a collaboration between Cairo University and Germany’s TUM—allow precise interior mapping without damaging the ancient structure. If confirmed, the hidden entrance could reshape understanding of Fourth Dynasty pyramid design, suggesting multiple entrances were intentional architectural features. Further scans and simulations are planned to verify the voids’ purpose before any physical exploration,…
