You may have wondered what the inside of a pyramid looks
like, the actual inner structure, and how it was built to last all these years.
The pyramids of ancient Egypt are around 4,500 years-old. They've stood the test of
time, and now, we can learn a little more about them thanks to cosmic rays.
Archaeologies have begun to utilize new technology to better
help our understanding of pyramids internal.
The new Scans Pyramids project uses cosmic rays to build 'inside' maps of the Egyptian attractions. The images show the internal crooked chamber of a 4,600-year-old pyramid known as the 'Bent Pyramid'. It's a 345-foot monument 25 miles south of Cairo.
Scientists are using muon particles, which come from cosmic rays, to penetrate deep into stone.
The cosmic rays used, might be compared to X-rays.
With this technology, researchers can gauge how thick the stonework is, and build up a map of the internal organs of a building.
And this is just the beginning. There are plenty more pyramids to look at...
