#52Such a small volume of rooms and tunnels compared to the volume of the pyramid itself. The labor required is unimaginable.

#53I am amazed by this. I’ve been playing with a 3D scanning app on iPhone as a total amateur and totally new to the mode of collection and it truly produces amazing results with only iPhone lidar.
Scaniverse if you’re curious.

#54Earlier quoted context omitted.
A void? Is it another chamber? I have so many questions. Though from the images, it doesn't seem like a chamber. https://www.livescience.com/scan-great-pyramid-of-giza
I bet it's the aliens' server-room.
Is there any non invasive way to see the interior of the chamber? I hope we are aren't gonna leave it be.

#55Nice! I was just there last week. Are there any efforts to scan the ground in places like Saqqara? It seems there is still a ton of stuff left in the ground.
After seeing the pyramids and Luxor I am amazed at the scale and precision the Egyptians were building such a long time ago. Truly impressive.

#56This is amazing! Incredible work! Thank you for doing this project. FYI I found a typo - the word "cuts": > It's 750 by 750 feet at the base and is made of over 2 million large, limestone blocks cuts from the surrounding area. Also - from one of the angles shown, it looks like there's a golf course next to the pyramids? Not at all what I expected!
There's a pizza hut across the road as well lol

#57Semi-related, the Great Pyramid was also scanned using muon radiography, by which a "big void" was discovered [0]. Muons can penetrate through a lot of material, so they can see through very large, thick things like the pyramids. Muon tomography was also used to scan the Fukushima reactors [1] and see where the fuel ended up. [0] https://arxiv.org/pdf/1711.01576.pdf [1] https://www.world-nuclear-news.org/RS-Muons-sug…

A void. It looks uneven, not like a chamber, but quite large.

#58Great work, though the images of the entrance seems to be split into hundreds of tiny pieces, what's up with that?

#59Originally, the exterior of the pyramid was covered in polished limestone (casement) that has since fallen off/been removed. Apparently you would have been able to see them from many miles off as incredibly bright triangles.

#60This is incredible thank you so much for sharing this!
Something terrifying about how deep underground you go and then you reach a pitch black hole and there's still more to go. Wow!
How was it inside? Is it very silent? I imagine it gives off very weird energy.
