Sharjah [UAE], November 9 (ANI/WAM): Renowned Egyptologist Dr. Zahi Hawass has announced that a “new archaeological discovery” inside the Pyramid of King Khufu will be unveiled to the world in 2026.
He explained that the “remarkable discovery” consists of a 30-meter-long corridor detected using advanced scanning technologies, which leads to a sealed door expected to rewrite a chapter of ancient Egyptian history.
Dr. Hawass made the announcement during a talk session at the 44th Sharjah International Book Fair, where he reflected on his scientific journey — one that began with an ambition to study law before transforming into a lifelong passion for Egyptology, leading him to uncover numerous secrets of ancient Egyptian civilization.
He also spoke about the Grand Egyptian Museum, calling it one of the greatest museums in the world. He noted that the international attention surrounding its opening was driven by its collection of 5,000 artifacts from Tutankhamun, displayed in full for the first time. “I assure you, when you visit the museum, you will feel an extraordinary sense of greatness,” he said.
The archaeologist and former minister of archaeology added that radar technology has been instrumental in studying the pyramids, revealing hidden voids and corridors, while robots were employed to clean and explore the interiors. (ANI/WAM)
