Egypt Team Finds New Mystery Door in Pyramid
CAIRO (Reuters) - A mysterious door has been found in a previously unexplored shaft inside Egypt's biggest pyramid, only days after a similar stone slab was found in another shaft, antiquities chief Zahi Hawass said on Monday.
Last week, in front of television cameras, a specially designed robot climbed about 215 feet up one of two narrow passages stretching from a chamber inside the pyramid of Cheops to peer through a hole drilled into a stone door, only to find another door behind it.
Away from the cameras, the robot was sent up the second shaft, only partially examined in the past. It found another door, which had copper handles like the one in the first shaft and was at the same distance of 65 meters, Hawass said.
"I think we'll find another door behind it," Hawass, head of Egypt's Supreme Antiquities Council, told reporters.
