The three pyramids hold the tombs of the pharaohs Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. All were built in the Fourth Dynasty from 2613-2494 BC. Using infrared thermography, the international team discovered thermal anomalies within the pyramids.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Three odd places<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The team observed the pyramids during sunrise and sunset &#8211; the sun heats the limestone exteriors when it rises and cools them when it sets. The infrared thermography helps detect the presence of unknown internal structures and cavities. Thermal cameras found higher temperatures in three adjacent stones at the bottom of the structure where Pharaoh Khufu\u2019s tomb is located, which is the largest pyramid, and is referred to as the Great Pyramid of Giza. The anomalies could be due to the presence of a secret chamber, internal air currents or the existence of a different type of stone.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a statement, the Egyptian antiquities ministry said:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;[The team had]\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">concluded the existence of several thermal anomalies that were observed on all monuments during the heating-up or the cooling-down phases. To explain such anomalies, a lot of hypotheses and possibilities could be drawn up: presence of voids behind the surface, internal air currents<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11444\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11444\" style=\"width: 711px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-11444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/11\/13.-Pyramids-of-Giza-Egypt.jpg\" alt=\"source\" width=\"711\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/11\/13.-Pyramids-of-Giza-Egypt.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/11\/13.-Pyramids-of-Giza-Egypt-600x327.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/11\/13.-Pyramids-of-Giza-Egypt-85x46.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 711px) 100vw, 711px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11444\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/usercontent1.hubimg.com\/8407920_f520.jpg\">source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">{adinserter CNP5}<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Great Pyramid had a particularly big anomaly<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The statement from the antiques ministry also says that there is one particularly impressive anomaly found at ground level on the eastern side of the Great Pyramid. \u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first row of the pyramid&#8217;s stones are all uniform, then we come here and find that there&#8217;s a difference in the formation<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,&#8221; Antiquities Minister Mamdouh al-Damati says. \u00a0More thermal anomalies were found in the upper half of the Great Pyramid. \u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All anomalies detected and data collected will now be subject to further treatment and data analysis<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,\u201d the statement says. \u00a0The Operation Scan <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pyramids project, launched under the authority of the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities and coordinated by the Faculty of Engineering of Cairo and the French HIP Institute, began late October and will continue until the end of next year.
