Giant alien may have lived inside Great Pyramid of Egypt

November 14, 2017 by David Edwards

ds-aerial-ScanPyramids-Void

Who knows? The entire thing’s been a mystery for millennia, and remains so to this day, but new technology has enabled the discovery of a previously undetected cavern inside the supermassive structure, shedding new light on the baffling, age-old conundrum

The ScanPyramids Project has made a rare discovery in the Great Pyramid in Egypt. 

The project was supported by La Fondation Dassault Systèmes and Emissive, and the mission is developing an unprecedented virtual reality experience to imagine new cultural and educational uses.

Launched in October 2015, the Egypto-international ScanPyramids project uses non-invasive and non-destructive detection techniques to scan the Egyptian pyramids trying to uncover their secrets.  [Read more…] about Giant alien may have lived inside Great Pyramid of Egypt
