The ScanPyramids[1] mission is an Egyptian-International project designed and led by Cairo University and the French HIP Institute (Heritage Innovation Preservation).[2] This project aims at scanning Old Kingdom Egyptian Pyramids (Khufu, Khafre, the Bent and the Red) to detect the presence of unknown internal voids and structures.[3]
The project, launched in October 2015,[4] combines several non-invasive and non-destructive techniques which may help to get a better understanding of their structure and their construction processes and techniques.[clarification needed] The team is currently using Infrared thermography, muon tomography, 3D simulation and reconstruction techniques.[5][6]
ScanPyramids is an interdisciplinary project mixing art, science and technology.[7] On November 2, 2017, the ScanPyramids team announced, through a publication in Nature,[8] its third discovery in the Great Pyramid, a "plane-sized"[9] previously unknown void named the "ScanPyramids Big Void".[10]
