Scan Pyramids Project led to some important discoveries

The modern technology used in the ongoing Scan Pyramids Project at the Giza Pyramid Complex led to some important discoveries, former Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research Hani Hilal said.

Up till now, there is no well-established theory explaining the pyramids were built, Hilal told MENA on the margins of a symposium titled: “Will modern technology unveil the secrets of Pyramids?” on Saturday 27/01/2024.

Now, we are discovering the Pyramids by non-destructive technologies that enable us to see what is inside the pyramid, Hilal added during the event, which took place as part of the 55th edition of the Cairo International Book Fair, which kicked off on Thursday and will last until February 6.

The project pyramid scanning team brings together 70 scientists from various specialties, including physics and rock mechanics, added Hilal, who is leading and coordinating the project, in cooperation with Japan’s Nagoya University, the Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission in France (CEA), Laval University of Canada, and the Technical University of Munich, among others.

The Scan Pyramids project, which began in 2015, an international program that uses scans to look at unexplored sections of the ancient structure.
