New void identified in the Great Pyramid

It’s large, and no one knows whether it’s a chamber of archeological significance, or possible a gap left to reduce pressure on the ancient structure:

There's also an account in the Guardian but I prefer the one you've linked to. It's intriguing and I'd like to think it's not just a big hole. I get the impression we may have to wait a long time to find out.

I bet it's nothing. $10, any takers?

>4 timspalding:: a mere $10 suggests you're not all that confident. I'd go $100 against if I thought we might have an answer within the next few years. But I suspect we won't. And when I say I believe "nothing" is wrong it's not because I expect there will be new Tutankhamun or a treasure hoard but because I think we may discover a reason for the presence of this cavity, or perhaps some items of archaeological significance even if only hieroglyphs or a stonemason's hammer.

It's full of very sharp razor blades and unspoiled bananas. ;)

Not what I was hoping for but I suppose really not a surprise.

>8 PossMan: I saw the article in the Washington Post and was disappointed.

They'll find other chambers when tourism is slowing down. Don't worry

>10 Macumbeira: That's a wry comment, but I never thought of it that way. I'm sure there was an increase of tourism when the possibility of the chamber was announced. The situation reminds me of Geraldo Rivera's over-hyped and anti-climatic Al Capone chamber from a few years back.

>11 pmackey: It is nasty world outside. That's why I stay here

>12 Macumbeira: Well, don't get too comfortable or some future archeologist or Geraldo may use your secret lair for their own gains.

I'd really really love this to be true but I'm afraid like previous reports it will come to nothing.

>14 PossMan: Yeah, not holding my breath.
