The pyramid can be described as the most famous building on the earth, but also the longest building in human history, the earliest pyramid was built in 2686 BC, more than 4700 years ago, the largest pyramid is the Pyramid of Khufu, Its original height was 146.59 meters, it still has more than 136.5 meters, the bottom edge was 230 meters long (now 227 meters), the length of the four sides was 920 meters, covering an area of about 52,900 square meters, the volume was about 2.6 million cubic meters, and it required 2.3 million boulders weighing 2.5 tons.

This pyramid was built about 2580 BC ~ 2560 BC, hundreds of years before the Xia Dynasty on the mainland (founded in 2070 BC), it is difficult to imagine that humans more than 4500 years ago could build a building with a height of nearly 150 meters, and it is so huge that for at least 3800 years, it is the tallest building in the world, so that since ancient times, many people have believed that the pyramid was built by gods or aliens, and that the pyramid is not just the tomb of the pharaoh. There are also hidden secrets.
Driven by curiosity, there have been many explorers with a variety of methods to explore it, but can not fully understand the secrets inside the pyramid, according to the American Fun Science website reported on March 14 this year, a research team composed of scientists from the United States and Japan is ready to use cosmic rays to scan some of the pyramids in the Giza pyramid group, hoping to penetrate the interior of the pyramid through non-invasive means to fully understand the structure of the pyramid.

The Pyramid of Khufu is located in the Giza Pyramid Group, and the team is preparing to conduct a detailed scan of the Pyramid of Khufu, using highly penetrating μ meson rays.

Μ mesons in nature are elementary particles formed when high-energy cosmic rays collide with atoms in the Earth's atmosphere, also known as muons, which are leptons, which carry the basic charge of -1 and the spin of 1/2, with a mass of about 206.77 times the mass of electrons, and the μ have a presence time of 2.197 microseconds after they are produced, after which they decay into an electron, a μ neutrino and an antineutrine neutrino, because the μ are produced at a fast speed, close to the speed of light, under the "time expansion effect" of special relativity. μ decays longer, so that μ have a chance to reach the Earth's surface.

Scientists have also found that the interaction between μ and atomic nuclei is very weak, even at very close distances can not see the occurrence of electromagnetic interaction and other interference phenomena, which means that it can pass through atoms, or it can pass through various objects, but due to different densities of matter and the size of atomic nuclei, when landing on the surface of the earth, there will be different interaction performances when encountering substances such as stones or air, so if there is an instrument that can measure the landing of μ on a large scale and distinguish the material it encounters through its different performances, The distribution of matter within a certain range can be derived, and the research team used the principle of μ to measure the pyramid. This time, the secret in the pyramid may not be hidden!
In fact, as early as 2017, a team of scientists used this method to measure the Pyramid of Khufu, and found that there were two spaces that had never been found before, one space was located directly above the passage of the Pharaoh Khufu's burial chamber, about 30 meters long, 6 meters high, the space was quite large, and it was not known what was inside, nor did it know what this space was used for, some researchers speculated that it may be the hidden Khufu burial chamber, and there is also a smaller space in the middle and upper position on the north side of the pyramid. Its role is also unclear.
However, this measurement should be able to figure out the role of these two spaces and what is hidden, because the accuracy of the μ measurement system this time is at least 100 times that of the last time, the cosmic ray μ scanning detector used is very large, and it needs to be loaded with several containers to transport it to the pyramid, it also makes archaeologists feel like a pair of perspective eyes, although they do not have to open the pyramid, they can see its internal structure at a glance, so that they can see the structure of the pyramid and the mysteries hidden in it more deeply than before. What's in the pyramid? This time it should be clear!
