The Antiquities Ministry has slammed as "inaccurate and hasty" a French archaeological report on new cavities discovered inside the Great Pyramid of Khufu at Giza. Le Figaro reported on Saturday that a group of scientists called Operation Scan Pyramids had discovered two cavities in the Great Pyramid of Khufuin on the Giza plateau. These were their first results since they started work in October 2015, aiming to reveal more about the mysteries of the pyramid. The French newspaper added that the two cavities contain unknown secrets about the pyramid, which was built over 4,500 years ago. Another cavity was discovered on the pyramid's northeast flank, said the researchers, who are using radiography and 3D reconstruction for their study.
