    For anyone who dosent know the first guy who said it was the most important discovery of the 21st century has blocked almost all research since he took the position of head of antiquities for Egypt. If anything cool is there he will most likely keep it low-key so he can write a book about it.

    I think Zahi Hawass needs to be put in the history books, don't get me wrong? He's made some amazing discoveries over the years but he's also dismissed some really important facts and evidence and hidden important knowledge just because it doesn't fall in line with his way of thinking or because someone learned or found something first before him, you can't mess with ancient knowledge or abuse it to better yourself or change facts and knowledge that belongs to everyone!! it's crazy that one person like Zahi Hawass gets to decide what's true or not true about all our history.

    It is NOT a tomb, never was. And it's not Egyptian, it's way older. That's just where Egypt happens to be now. Even the ancient, dynastic Egyptians knew this. This sort of thing has been seen in the US, too. Back in the 1800s and prior, explorers would arrive to these strange places and would asks local tribes if it beings to them. They say no, it was already there.

      Then why are there sarcophagi in the pyramids? Granite sarcophagi that can't fit through the passages, so they must have been placed when the pyramids were constructed. Native Americans were in the Americas thousands of years.. it's similar to asking a Brit in the 1800s if the Stonehenge belongs to them..they say no, it was already there..

    1 - it is absolutely an important discovery. With that said. Naturally Egypt - which heavily depends upon tourism - will tout this discovery to gin up interest.
    2 - look at the rough nature of the corridor + its peaked roof + its location above the main entrance.
    3 - we see in other areas of the pyramid that the concern about possible collapse was paramount. The Grand Gallery as an example is corbelled to help it withstand the weight of stone above. The King's Chamber area is made of granite + it contains relieving chambers above it also made of granite.
    4 - further those relieving chambers above = also have a peaked roof. The reason is to "shunt" the weight above towards the sides away from the chamber below to minimize the chance of collapse.
    Conclusion: the assessment thus far of this representing a weight reduction area to shunt the stress of the weight above away from the access corridor below is the best explanation. Just look at the angled chevrons above the main entrance on its exterior facade. If that changes with further study - fine. To date however it is the mostly likely explanation. If a corridor to somewhere = why was it not finished as you see with other corridors within the pyramid itself??? 🤨

    The most fascinating part of this is that, unlike most of the corridors and chambers found so far in the Great Pyramid, the walls of this corridor are not straight and smooth: That could indicate that its purpose is quite different from the other areas of the Pyramid. Could it be that the builders never expected anyone would ever be able to gain access to this cavity and therefore did not see it as crucial that the stones be worked on longer to make the walls of this corridor as straight as the ones which were clearly expected to let people in and out of the pyramid? If so, what was the purpose of making a cavity within the other wise filled pyramid? (Sadly, it might indicate that there are no true "Treasures" hidden anywhere near it since such treasures are usually left in such structures in rooms and corridors that honor a person or a god, so the lack of attention to detail in that corridor doesn't show much respect for anyone -Yet but another one of the many mysteries of ancient Egypt which the discovery of raises more questions than it answers!)

    The pyramids of Giza were industrial scale chemical plants. The volume of the inner chambers gets smaller as you get higher up. Lower chambers would be flooded with water to force gases up into higher chambers. When you decrease the volume of a gas, you increase its temperature and pressure, and this facilitated chemical reactions. Makes sense that there would have been a way, by design, to relieve the pressure from the system to halt chemical reactions inside the pyramid. The pyramid also made of limestone, quartz granite, which are dielectric materials, capable of storing electromagnetic fields from the telluric currents of the earth, utilized to attract lightning strikes, to further facilitate chemical reactions. Ancient Egyptian obelisks were the tallest structure around to protect people in the city from the lightning strikes they were attracting.

Pyramid construction would take about 85 years to complete thus a Pharaoh would have been dead for at least 35 years before he would be entombed in it. That is why they also had the Valley of the Kings where construction of a tomb took a significantly less time. The pyramids were built for a different purpose than for entombment. Some have theorized that it as a form of energy production using water as a source thus the need for void areas to relieve pressure and direct water.
      When you look at a tomb in the Valley of the Kings the walls are adorned with art work depicting the kings life time and journey into the after life. If you look the King's Chamber in the Great Pyramid it is void of art work. There is no telling of who would have been buried there except for a small cartouche with the name Khufu which has been speculated as being painted there by archeologists as a way to determine who the pyramid belonged to.

    HI! this is a non-discovery because: the discovery had already been made and then published 6 months before this, a discovery made by Professor Corrado Malanga and Dr. Filippo Biondi

DNA studies show ancient Egyptians to be the same Middle Easterners that today live in Lebanon, Syria etc. Sub-saharans (Nubians) were kept as captives, visible in many murals and art even today. Check out Tut's sandals: they show a sub-Saharan and an Asiatic as captives

      Just in a few hundred years, human species already developed from cold-metal wielding to high-tech nuclear-war capable.
      It's possible that after the last ice age, we had a highly developed human society, which culture was wiped out by a global disaster.
      Today the only traces of that civilization left, are the pyramids and mega stone structures scattered around the world.

      @Billy Begood. No, the "Aliiens" are the ones who come along 4000 years later and claim "they" built something but can't tell you how "they" did it.

    Awesome these kind of discoveries are always so fascinating. Didn't they also say there was a chamber under The Great Sphinx maybe the Hall Of Records or something?

      Zahi Hawas has said many times over the years to the press that there is absolutely no hidden chambers in or under the Sphinx (despite there being photos of him climbing out of a hatch on either the head or the back).
      So that almost certainly means there indeed is something there. but gatekeepers gonna gatekeep.

    Now they are disclosing 40% of the information instead of the 30% they have been giving us for the last 10 years. You find out a lot more when you take the expensive private tours that have not been threatened by Zahi Hawass' men.

      In fact the makers of Origins studied and researched the pyramids so much to get it as accurate as possible that they knew that voids like this most likely existed in the pyramids.
