The area went undetected by archeologists for hundreds of years and was only discovered now thanks to modern scanning equipment. Issa credited the international Scan Pyramids Project (SPP) for making the find.

Experts do not yet have an explanation for why the corridor was made. Christian Grosse, professor of non-destructive testing at the Technical University of Munich and a leading member of the SPP, said they hope the corridor will lead to further discoveries.

‘’There are two large limestones at the end chamber, and now the question is what’s behind these stones and below the chamber,’’ Grosse said.

The Pyramid of Khufu is named after the fourth dynasty pharaoh who ordered its construction, from 2509 to 2483 B.C. The Pyramids of Giza and other remnants of ancient Egypt are responsible for a large portion of the modern Egyptian economy, bringing tourists from all over the world.
