Several thermal anomalies were observed in four great pyramids near Cairo particularly in the huge Khufu revealed Monday the Minister of Antiquities in press conference held at night at the foot of the pyramid.
These first results of thermal analysis undertaken since the launch of the mission “Scan Pyramids” October 25 by Egyptian scientists, French, Japanese and Canadian open the way to multiple interpretations.
Scientists “could state a number of thermal anomalies in all the monuments studied (…) but one of them is particularly impressive. The same is in this phase of the pyramid of Cheops , at ground level, “according to a press release of the mission.
Some boulders presented A difference of up to 6 ° C towards neighboring . This resulted in the thermal camera images by the appearance of ‘warm’ colors, while the rest of the monument predominate cold inks, from blue to magenta (fuchsia).
The reasons for thermal anomaly remains unknown, but may indicate the existence of a secret camera .
Thanks to infrared technology and sophisticated detectors, the team surveyed the pyramids Cheops and Chephren , which together with that of Mycerinus integrate Guiza- famous pyramids and two in Dahshur, located south of Cairo.
This project will continue until the end of 2016, and is a new attempt for solve the mystery surrounding the construction of the pyramids.
“Khufu reveal today one of their secrets ” he said forward to the Minister of Antiquities, Mahmud Eldamaty at the beginning of the press conference.
“I have some ideas, but not I can reveal until ax or” added Minister, trying to still keep the suspense.
The mystery of the pyramids persists. “Thousands of years look thinking ago known, but to 4000 years accounts later we realize the opposite,” responded Robert Voûte meanwhile, near the Dutch engineer mission.
The Pyramid of King Cheops, which with its 146 meters is the largest of the three Giza and is considered one of the seven wonders of the world of antiquity It was built over 4,500 years ago. Khafre’s pyramid was built by the son of Cheops.
“We move forward with humility without promising to solve this mystery but to advance knowledge , he told AFP Mehdi Tayubi founder French institute HIP (Inheritance, Innovation, Preservation) which participates in the project.
“I hope this encourages other engineers join the adventure ” he said.
The infrared detectors used to explore the four pyramids have also served in early November to probe Tutankhamun’s tomb and compare the theory of British archaeologist Nicholas Reeves, who claims that Queen Nefertiti He is buried there in a secret chamber.
Today, Egyptologists never discovered the mummy of the queen of legendary beauty that exerted a major political and religious role the fourteenth century BC.
