00:00The greatest pyramid of them all was built 4,500 years ago for Pharaoh Khufu.
00:05It is massive structure almost 150 meters, 490 feet, tall, built with more than 2.3 million
00:12stone blocks. And yet, up until recently, there only seemed to be three chambers inside.
00:19If that seems like a lot of wasted space for you, you're not alone.
00:23That's why a team scanned the pyramid in November 2017 to see if there was anything they missed.
00:28Sure enough, above the great gallery of the pyramid, they found signs that there might
00:32be a large hidden chamber as large as the biggest room in the whole pyramid. The strange thing is
00:37that the Egyptians deliberately built the hidden chamber to be completely inaccessible. There
00:41are no corridors or pathways connected to it. The only way they could have put anything inside is
00:46if they filled the chamber while they were building the pyramid, then sealed it up afterward. We still
00:51haven't seen the inside of the hidden chamber. But whatever is in there, Pharaoh Khufu apparently
00:56didn't want it to ever see the light of day.
