A team of British and Egyptian archaeologists are excavating beneath the three Pyramids of Giza to find more about the mystery of the Pyramids and their builders. "The British team, which hails from the University of Birmingham, is using the latest and most up-to-date equipment to seek the mystery of the Pyramids," said Zahi Hawwas, Secretary General of the Higher Council for Antiquities in Egypt. The team is employing a special radar that would help create an archaelogical map of the subterranean region beneath the three Pyramids in Giza, Hawwas added. The British-Egyptian team will spend the next five years studying the entire region of the Pyramids and the Sphinx, including photographing everything for careful study, indicated Zahi Hawwas.

Already, the team has discovered, through radar-photograhy technique, the possible existence of holes or gaps behind the Sphinx which could be theoretically the burrial spots of the 26th Pharonic dynasty dating back to B.C. 500.

Its going to be interesting to see if they find anything.

Sounds good, but I have my doubts it will actually happen. From what I understand Mr. Hawwas has given many groups authority to do similair projects (in the last 20 or so years), but for one reason or other they all have been withdrawn before completion. But lets hope that is all just conspiracy nonsense and we find out once and for all if shafts actually exist. It's got to happen sooner or latter!!

I must admit i'm rather wary of Hawwas too - he does seem to have his own personal agenda going on. There again that isn't very unusual for Egyptologists, they all seem to be more interested in their careers than being open minded.
