Discovery of secret doors suggests possibility of hidden treasures.

For years scholars have considered that the pyramid of King Khufu, greatest of the three "great" pyramids at Giza city, had been blank in antiquity and everything of measure, including the body of King Khufu himself, had been transferred.

Nowadays, Zahi Hawass, the secretary general of Egypt's Greatest Council of Antiquities and director of the Giza Plateau, suspects that might not be the case.

"I really in person believe," he recently told a sold-out lecture hall in the University of Pennsylvania's Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Philadelphia State, "that the secret chamber of Khufu is hidden inside the pyramid."

What adjusted his brain was the discovery of a set of previously unknown doors, infrared in the shafts of the suspect "queen's chamber" of the Great Pyramid. Situated beneath the "grand gallery," the queen's chamber never housed a queen, and in fact, its require purpose persists unknown. There is special meditation that it was an given burial chamber, or perhaps held offerings for the deceased.
