2 chambers discovered in Great Pyramid, mysteries unsolved: Egyptian official

Egyptian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ahmed Abu Zeid said on Tuesday that many Pharaohs' mysteries remain unsolved as archaeologists recently unearthed two hidden chambers at the Great Pyramid of Giza.

"Many Pharaohs' mysteries remain unsolved, two secret chambers were discovered on Oct. 13 in Khufu's Pyramid," Abu Zeid tweeted on his official Twitter account.

The Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities said recently that scientists discovered two anomalies inside Khufu Great Pyramid, which was built 4,500 years ago, adding that one is located at the upper part of the entrance gate and the second at its northeastern side.

The ministry launched last year an operation dubbed "Scan Pyramids" to discover the internal secrets of the Great Pyramid of Khufu as well as Bent Pyramid in Giza governorate, south of Cairo.

The search team uses new technologies in an attempt to explore the internal architecture of the historical structures.

The team is led by former Egyptian minister of antiquities Zahi Hawass and includes Czech, German and Egyptian scientists.

Egypt has been working to discover the secrets of the archaeologies of Pharaohs across the North African country.

Last year, Egypt conducted several radar scans of the tomb of Egypt's ancient King Tutankhamen in Luxor in Upper Egypt after British Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves suggested that Queen Nefertiti's crypt may be buried in hidden doorways behind the King's 3,300-year-burial place.

The scans revealed that there are two hidden chambers behind the tomb, and scientific research operations are still ongoing at the site. Endit
