Several defects thermal were observed in four large pyramids near Cairo particularly in the huge Cheops said on Monday November 9, 2015 Egyptian Antiquities Minister in a press conference organized night at the foot of this pyramid.
These first results of thermal analysis undertaken since the launch of the mission ‘Scan Pyramids’, on 25 October, Egyptian scientists, French, Japanese and Canadian open the way for multiple interpretations.
Scientists “could state a number of anomalies thermal on all the monuments studied (…) but one is particularly impressive. It is in this phase of the Pyramid of Cheops , at ground level, “according to a press release of the mission.
Some stone blocks had a difference up to 6 ° C with respect to neighbors. This resulted in the thermal camera images by the appearance of ‘warm’ colors, while the rest of the memorial cold predominate inks, from blue to magenta (fuchsia).
The reasons for the thermal anomaly remains unknown, but may indicate the existence of a bedchamber. Thanks to infrared technology and sophisticated sensors, the team surveyed the pyramids of Cheops and Chephren , which together with that of Mycerinus integrate Guiza- famous pyramids and two in Dashur, located south of Cairo.
This project will continue until the end of 2016, and is a new attempt to clarify the mystery surrounding the construction of the pyramids.
“Cheops us will reveal today one of their secrets, “he said enthusiastically Minister Antiquities, Mahmud Eldamaty at the beginning of the press conference.
” I have some ideas, but I can not reveal them until you’re sure, “he added the minister, still trying to keep the suspense.
The mystery of the pyramids persists. “Thousands of years look thinking they know it does, but in the end 4000 years later we realize the opposite,” he reacted meanwhile Robert Voûte , near Dutch engineer the mission.
The Pyramid of King Cheops, with its 146 meters is the largest of the three Guiza and is considered one of the seven wonders of the world antiquity, was built more than 4500 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 said Mehdi Tayubi , founder of the French Institute HIP (Inheritance, Innovation, Preservation) participating in the project. “I hope this encourages other engineers to join the adventure,” he said.
The infrared detectors used to explore the four pyramids have also served in early November to probe the tomb of Tutankhamun and compare theory British archaeologist Nicholas Reeves, which claims that the queen Nefertiti is buried there in a secret chamber.
Today, Egyptologists ever discovered Mummy of the legendary beauty queen who exercised a major political and religious role the fourteenth century BC.
