Archaeologists Discover Secret Tunnel Inside Great Pyramid of Giza

Perhaps it could lead to a real-life Chamber of Secrets.

A 30-foot-long hidden corridor was discovered by scientists Thursday near the main entrance of the 4,500-year-old Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, Reuters reported.

The pyramid — considered the last of the seven wonders of the world still standing — has been undergoing regular searches using infrared and cosmic-ray imaging since 2015 as a part of the Scan Pyramids project.

Officials said the newly unearthed hallway could lead to more knowledge about the structure.

“We’re going to continue our scanning so we will see what we can do … to figure out what we can find out beneath it, or just by the end of this corridor,” said Mostafa Waziri, head of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities.

The Great Pyramid was constructed as a monumental tomb around 2560 BC during the reign of the Pharaoh Khufu, or Cheops. Built to 479 feet, it now stands at 139 meters and was the tallest structure made by humans until the Eiffel Tower in Paris in 1889.

Five rooms atop the Pharaoh Khufu burial chamber in another part of the pyramid are also thought to have been built to redistribute the weight of the massive structure, according to Nature journal.

It is also possible the pharaoh had more than one burial chamber, Waziri added.

Waziri also revealed that the corridor could be used to help balance the weight or contain a secret chamber within the structure.

The Great Pyramids were built in 2560 BC during the reign of Pharaoh Khufu (reign circa 2551 b.c. to 2528 b.c.) and stood at a whopping 479 feet — the tallest man-made structure until the Eiffel Tower in 1889.

This secret passage is not the first thing to be discovered within the structure. In 2022, scientists released a study that showed two “mysterious voids” within the pyramid from a 2017 scan.

“We plan to field a telescope system that has upwards of 100 times the sensitivity of the equipment that has recently been used at the Great Pyramid,” wrote the researchers.

“Since the detectors that are proposed are very large, they cannot be placed inside the pyramid, therefore our approach is to put them outside and move them along the base.”

“In this way, we can collect muons from all angles in order to build up the required data set.”

The girl and the dragon

I don't own Yugioh or it's characters, nor do I own Beauty and the best.

Long ago before the world we know today, in the country side of France was a small farming village. The people that lived there were kind and lived together in peace, no hardships were known and the village grew larger with each passing year, its wealthy and prosperity a contribution from one of the ruling families in the area…

If you stood on the tallest hilltop beside the river that flowed beside the village you would catch a glimpse of the towering castle in the distance. Its walls constructed out of white stone that glimmered when the sunlight washed over it when the giant ball of fire was high in the skin, giving it an enchanting glow. The building was a wonder to behold, housing grand bedroom adorned with furniture carved out of the white oak, the beds felt like clouds when you slept upon them and covered in the finest silks and furs. A large ball room with a sparkling chandelier that brought light and life to the rooms white marbled interior, bringing a magical world to life as the large parties and balls would be hosted by the family of the castle, royalty and important members of state would attend to these events, rumoured had it ambassadors from countries as far as Egypt would be there.

The dining hall could seat hundreds of guests and the kitchens were stocked with only the finest of foods and only those with peak culinary skills would work the stoves and ovens, producing the most delectable foods and pastries. The walls in the library were lined with shelves upon shelves of books, scripts and titles that you could only find elsewhere in the world. Any scholar would be honoured to be in such a place.

But the true jewel of this castle was its vast gardens, rows upon rows of white rose bushes adorned the area, intricate sculpture’s and fountains brought the space to life, the grass soft and green like a new carpet that no one has stepped upon yet. Large white oak trees lined the outer walls and in the centre of the garden stood something truly out of a fantasy story…an old cherry blossom tree that bloomed all year around, the petals of the flowers were pristine white instead of pink and rumour had it that the blossoms held healing properties that could heal any illness and disease.

The rulers of this palace were known as the Kaiba’s; their family had reigned over the area for generations. The current master of the house was named Hikaru; he was a tall regal man with long brunet hair, piercing blue eyes and a pale complexion. He was firm but kind, holding himself to a high standard and treated those around him with respect and dignity, even the servants and house keepers. Any person that met him would instantly adore him and fall for his admirable personality.

And beside him was his beauty of a wife, she was an unusual jewel in this land, her pale skin could be described as angelic, her eyes were like sapphires that sparkled with kindness and compassion, her hair white long and flowed like a water fall and her heart was just as sweet and loving as her husbands. An aura of grace and elegancy followed her wherever she went, always wearing a smile and helping anyone that was in need. Her name was Amilia but her beloved and those she held close to her heart called her Ami.

Whenever the couple was seen together they were happy and anyone could see the love that they had for each other. You could feel the connection and passion between the two of them. They met during a ball at Amilia’s home, her father introducing her to a young Hikaru who was a rowdy and rough young man back in his day, chasing after the ladies of the court and causing problems for his father. However the day he laid eyes on the white beauty he fell madly in love for her, his heart racing as he felt like he was flying from just being in the presence of this angel before him…and Ami?

Well she found him humorous and rather odd. She had had many suiters and her father was adamant to marry her to a wealthy and powerful man. But she wished to marry for love, to find the other half of her heart and soul, to live the life that was told in the books she would spend her days reading…

And she found that in Hikaru, at first he had tried to use his normal tactics of wooing and enticing woman with his looks and charms but she would have none of it…rejecting him every step of the way…then he started to change…he matured and grew into a man that came to care for others and be kind and compassionate. He would write her poetry, send her flowers, and ask to spend time with her in her gardens as he got to know her for her mind and heart rather than chase her for her beauty. In turn she fell deeply in love with him, she learned that he loved to ride horses and spend his time writing and dreaming of the adventures he could have in the lands beyond the horizon. And in turn he learned that she had a love for nature and could make any plant grow even if it was on deaths door. She had a love for the arts and knowledge, spending her days reading or painting exquisite murals that decorated the walls of her home.

They grew closer and closer every day until he finally asked her father for her hand and within a year they were married, dignitaries and royalty from all over came to witness they union between the two, their wedding taking place on the first day of winter, the first snowflake falling upon as if to bless them and their future and true enough by the next snowfall the following year Amilia gave birth to her first child, a little boy with his father’s baring’s who they named Seto.

He was the pride and joy of Hikaru and Ami, he was intelligent and had the same compassion and kindness as his parents, the boy spending his days with his father, learning under him about the world and the kingdom that would one day be his responsibility…while teaching him to ride horses and to write, to hold himself as a true gentlemen and ruler. And in the evenings Seto would spend with his mother, the white haired woman teaching him to read and of the arts. Unlike his mother he found painting rather dull but could sketch life like pictures and had a knack for music, he easily learned to play the harp and piano, playing beautiful songs for his mother while she painted…

And when it was time for bed, both parents would tuck their son in and would sit with him till he slept, his mother reading stories to him of fantastical places with dragons and magicians, his favourite tales…

As wonderful as the child’s life was and the love he received from his parents was wonderful but he still felt lonely. Despite his intelligence and skills, he wasn’t a very social child and wouldn’t know how to interact with others despite his father’s guidance. There was one boy he got along well with who was the prince of a kingdom in Egypt whose family would travel to their lands for trade (mostly for grapes for wine in exchange for spices). The prince was named Atem Sennen, he had a caramel like complexion with unusual red eyes and strange hair, a mix of black with maroon tips with a few streaks of blond going along the dark strands, his bangs the same bright colour.

Seto found the boy odd whenever their families came together; the prince was bubbly and could talk your ear off about basically anything. He was charismatic and bright with a big smile on his face, trying anything he can to interact with Seto, bugging him wherever he went. At first he found it annoying and would try to hide from the other whenever he was at the castle but Atem would easily find him and think it was all a game…and soon it truly turned into one. The boys soon became friends and looked forward to seeing each other, Seto telling the Egyptian prince about the books he had read and even tried to teach the other music, although Atem found it all boring and would rather drag the brunet to the gardens to play.

But even though Seto had the strange child as a companion, he still felt lonely but that would change the day his mother told him she was having another child…

He was 8 years old when his little brother was born whom his parents named Mokuba. He wasn’t sure about having a brother at first, the thought of sharing his parents with another didn’t sit well with him but the moment he was brought into his mother’s chambers after she had gone into labour and got to hold his baby brother for the first time, he made a vow to always protect him and do anything in his power to make sure he stayed happy.

And that’s what the family was for 4 years…they were happy…days spent in each other presence, laughing and spending time together, whether in the gardens or the library or in their rooms, they were always together, an over whelming sense of joy filled the castle that everyone thought would last for years…

However not every story is a fairy tale…

One day Hikaru went out riding when a giant storm hit…a flash of lightning strike the ground spooking his horse…causing it to run off and ended up going off a cliff…both man and steed plummeting to their deaths…when he was found days later the news devastated Amilia and her children, the entire castle mourning the loss of the kind and gentle man…a few days later the lady of the castle taking her own life with a blade to her broken heart…leaving behind her two sons…

Seto and Mokuba were heart broken and alone, the servants trying their best to help the two boys work through their grief but someone needed to take over the duties that Hikaru was responsible for…and Seto was still too young to take over…

So the boy’s uncle was given a temporary title and would rule till the oldest brother came of age…but Gozuburo was not a man like his older brother…he was cruel and cold, wanting nothing more than power and wealth…he didn’t care for the two boys and would’ve sent them away had it not been for Hikaru’s will naming Seto his heir…and getting rid of the brothers would make him look suspicious…

So he would train the boy, turn him into his image and ensure that he would keep Gozuburo as his advisor and grant him his own title and wealth someday…but as it had been said, there was not an ounce of compassion and care in the man’s heart…

He would enact harsh punishments upon Seto whenever he failed at a task or tried to speak back to the man, locking him in the tower for days without food or water…beating him, giving him lashings and even going as far as to brand the child with a hot poker…the warm loving home that Seto had once known became like a prison of hatred and pain, his soft heart slowly hardening as the boy he once was grew into a man that was cold and indifferent. His face remaining emotionless and harsh in his ways, treating others as if they were beneath him, focusing on the wealth of the kingdom he would soon have domain over…he became unbearable, people only tolerating him because of his position and status…

The only people that could stand him was Atem (who truly worried for his friend, having seen him change over the years. The bright eyed boy degraded to a depressed and cruel man) and of course Mokuba…

The little boy was mostly left alone, nothing more than an afterthought as Seto was Gozuburo’s main focus. Only the servants and maids would try to keep the child company to keep him from his loneliness and neglect. And even though Seto tried to keep close with his little brother it became harder as their caregiver started keeping the boys from each other, making sure that they saw nothing of each other as he wanted to isolate Seto from everyone else…

And Gozuburo’s plan would’ve worked…had he not laid his hands on Mokuba. It was a few weeks before Seto’s 16th birthday and Mokuba wanted to do something for his brother. Despite the fact that they had grown apart he still loved his big brother and wanted nothing more than to see him smile again. But as he was trying to get Seto’s attention while he was studying, Gozuburo struck the younger boy, raising his fist and pinching him through the face. The child fell to the ground and the man would’ve kicked him if Seto had not intervened, grabbing Gozuburo and pushing him into a wall, not saying a word as he glared daggers at the man.

The older man hurried out of the room leaving the brothers behind, Seto glaring at the door before turning to his little brother and kneeling down to help him up, giving the young child hope that some part of his brother had come to the surface but all Seto did was tell him that he shouldn’t show weakness in front of his enemies…that it was pathetic to show care and compassion. And with that he went back to work…leaving Mokuba with a broken hope…his brother truly was gone…

The following day Gozuburo’s body was found splattered in the courtyard having fallen from the balcony of his room…or maybe he was pushed out…the truth would never be known.

With him out of the way Seto was free to take over his late father’s kingdom…

On the night of his 16th birthday a large banquet was hosted at the palace with many guests from all over, including Atem and his sister Mana attended. The ball room was filled with men and woman dressed in the finest attired, dancing and socializing, servants walking around serving fine food and wine, ladies trying their best to flirt with the newest head of the Kaiba family. But none of them got further than introducing themselves as he pushed past them to greet the other guests…

The ball was under way when a storm came out of nowhere, lightning striking across the sky as raining was beating down on the roof of the castle, and the front doors are blown open as a large gust of wind fills the room…a hag covered in withered cloak stumbles her way into the grand palace. The party attendees looking at her in disgust as they tried to get out of her way as she made her way towards the eldest Kaiba, the tall brunet glaring at her, demanding to know who she was and why she was there. The old woman states that she was just looking for a place to stay for the night while she waits out the storm…pulling out a single red rose with black tips, offering it up to the Seto as payment for letting her stay.

The brunet throws his head back and laughs, stepping forward as he insults her and her offering, slapping it out of her hand and commanding her to leave. The hall is quiet for a moment before the lights in the ball room go out as a laugh echoes from the shadows…the shaking old hag slowly standing up straight, towering over the tall brunet as her cloak falls off her figure, her blood red hair flowing in the wind as her golden eyes glimmering brightly as her long black dress faded into the shadows beneath her feet, her arms covered in strange symbols covering her arms, the tips of her fingers blackened and her sharp teeth on full display as she smirked.

The shadows along the walls took the shape of monstrous creatures, roaring and hissing at the guests as they shrieked in fear as they ran out of the castle at the sight of these creatures and the witch that had interrupted the party…only a handful of people remaining, Atem and his sister being part of the group…

The strange woman grabs Seto by the throat and lifts him in the air, mocking him for how pathetic he had become and how he was unworthy of the name of Kaiba, how his father was more of a man than he would ever be as he had grown cold and selfish, thinking others beneath him…she threw him across the room, the teen hitting a wall as his brothers tries to get to him but the Egyptian Prince stops him, not wishing for the young boy to get hurt while trying to find a way to help his friend…

The red haired woman lefts her hand as the rose she had offered to Seto start to glow as it lifts into the air, the witches eyes starting to glow bright as well as the markings on her arms as she started to chant, her voice thundering through the halls as the remaining guests and servants are overwhelmed by shadows, the darkness seeping into their flesh as their body started to change, bones breaking, skin tearing, their screams of pain and agony fills the room…Seto is the last to become in trapped in the darkness, his body overcome with a pain he had never experienced before, not even the worst of Gozuburo’s punishments came close to this…

As the shadows cleared they left behind mutated versions of the people the witch had cursed, monstrous versions of who they once were…in the centre of it all was Kaiba…a set of large white wings protruding from his back, his arms, legs and torso covered in blueish scales, his fingers now claws, his teeth sharped, his pupils split like those of a dragon as his cheeks and jaw were covered in scales too, his hair whitened and the tips of his ears elongated into 3 webbed spikes…the witch smirks to herself as she glides over to him, dropping the mystical rose before him…saying in a sultry voice that she was not without mercy…

She would give him till his 21st birthday to break the curse she had placed upon him and the people within the castle…if he could learn to care and love another and get them to love him in return then the spell wold be broken…if not and his heart remained cold and selfish…then he would remain this way for eternity…the others condemned to the same fate…when the last petal falls she would return and seal his doom…

She disappeared, her dark laugh echoing across the land…her shadows and magic darkening the forest surrounding the castle, the trees itself becoming cursed as they grew tall and wicked, hiding the once glowing castle in the shadows…even the village and its inhabitants had their memories clouded so no one would remember the family and the grand structure that could be seen in the distance…

Seto Kaiba, humiliated and horrified by his appearance what he had brought upon those around him sealed himself away in his tower…with nothing but the rose safely put away under a glass dome and a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world (gifted his mother a long time ago)…

The years passed by as any hope of breaking the curse faded away…Seto giving into disappear…for who could ever learn to leave a beast?

Across the world at a port at a far off Japanese town, an old man and his two grandchildren were boarding a boat that would take them to a new land…beside him was a 16 year old girl with pale skin, blue eyes and long raven hair and on her back was an 11 year old boy with violet eyes and strange multi coloured hair that was tied back in spiked up pony tail, he looked a lot younger and smaller than what he actually was, people mistaking him for being 7 or 8. He looked sickly and pale, coughing every now and then as the girl tried to comfort her brother…she looked at the boat uncertainly as her grandfather held her hand, a soft smile on his face, promising her that leaving was the best chance that they had to finding a cure for her sick brother and that they would build their new life in a far off place…

She hoped he was right…

However she would only find what she was looking for 5 years later when she came across a dark castle not far from the village where her family had settled…coming across the monster that resided in its walls.

I was wondering about how can I have primitive (like stone age? or maybe further a long if required) cultures in my story build large or tall structures. My idea is that a structure like what you see of Stonehenge would actually be remnants of 200m tall towers or something. Would love to go as high as possible, so any ideas on that? Also I suppose what sort of rock type would be needed? It's an entirely fictional place so earth stuff can be changed, but perhaps not drastically - I mean it's still an earth like planet.

Addy: The first question I have is the societal pressure that is pushing them to build up instead of out. Generally speaking, walkable cities without elevators top out at around 5 stories, since going up a lot of stairs takes time and is pretty annoying, especially if you're having to do so consistently throughout the day. Let's call it 15 meters, or around 50 ft. If that's carved into rock (ala Mesa Verde or Derinkuyu), you can get that kind of height out of stone, but anything with multiple stories is generally going to require either A) some kind of woodworking capability or B) pyramid structures. Put simply, rock is heavy, and it does not do well in long, flat sections like floors. That's why we put rebar in concrete, and why we have supporting beams underneath concrete floor systems. Woodworking lets you build a more sophisticated structure (more interior space), while a pyramid structure gets taller.

One thing that building up does is it allows for a higher population density, which is excellent for cities. Cities (and permanent buildings in general) mean agriculture, which means that we're looking at the Neolithic period (or later). That's also going to give you organized labor to pull from, as well as possible written records (not always, but usually).

We see plenty of two-story buildings in the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods, such as the Palace of Nestor (Bronze Age) and Çatalhöyük (Neolithic). Looking beyond that, ziggurats get us even taller. Chogha Zanbil is a wonderful example of a large ziggurat. It had five levels and was ~53m tall by ~105m wide. A ziggurat is made by creating an artificial platform of mud brick, and then building successively smaller platforms on top of that. They're a form of step pyramid, and got to be quite tall.

The largest (and tallest) buildings are, by far, the pyramids of Egypt. The Great Pyramid of Giza (aka Pyramid of Khufu) was originally ~146m tall and ~230m on a side.

Often, when looking up settlements, we see mentions of settlement layers or levels. Çatalhöyük has 18, I believe. These aren't multiple stories of buildings, but are instead closer to bulldozing a site and just building right on top of the old stuff. That's how you end up with, say, Roman ruins under various European cities. They just got built over. Since you're looking at height, I wanted to go ahead and clarify that for you.

Overall, 200 meters is a lot. The Burj Khalifa is five times the height of the Pyramid of Khufu, and weighs about ⅙th of it. Stone is heavy, and building with it is, frankly, a lot of work. They had the advantage of canals and boats to bring up all the stone to the site, and it still took them 20 years. Now, mind you, many ancient structures were built over the course of generations. Ziggurats, temples, offices of administration… things are and were built over a long period of time (la Sagrada Familia is a good modern example).

If you want there to be minimal remains, well, free stone is free stone! Many ancient structures have been taken down that way.

I don't have a solid answer for you, but I hope this gives you a few ideas to think about.

Feral: If you want tall and ancient, look to the mountains. Literally. Raqmu, now known as Petra, in Jordan, is partially carved into a canyon. Probably not in its known form until the 3rd century BCE, it could still serve as inspiration for your worldbuilding. The cliff-dwellings of the Pueblo peoples in North and Central America could also act as inspiration for you. Although probably not built until the 12th century CE, caves are probably some of the first humans ever inhabited given the natural shelter they provide.

Before the modern skyscraper era emerged between c. 1311 and 1884, the tallest buildings and structures were mostly Christian churches and cathedrals.

Prior to then, the tallest buildings in the world cannot be conclusively determined. For instance, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, which was completed in approximately 280 BC, has been estimated to have been 100 m (330 ft) tall, but its true height is not known.

For thousands of years, the Great Pyramid in Egypt was the tallest structure in the world until Lincoln Cathedral of 1311, but the Great Pyramid is not considered a building since it is not habitable.

Similarly, the Eiffel Tower was the world's tallest structure from 1889, when it was built, but not the tallest building.
