A robot will try to solve the mystery of the Great Pyramid of Giza

A robot, Djedi call, will try to penetrate until the center of the Egyptian pyramid of Giza and to reveal the secret that three limestone stone doors hide for 4,500 years.

Nobody has been able to arrive at the true center of the pyramid of Keops (Khufu) constructed by the king of the same name, around 2560 AC, the one that is considered like the unique wonder of the old world still still on.

The University of Leeds, altogether with the Supreme Council for the Antiques, of Egypt, sets out to throw light on the mystery of the pyramid, the one that involve two passages brickings and three limestone stone doors.

In center of the pyramid there are two cameras. The superior, the camera of the king, does not present/display incognitos. Two tunnels with an inclination of 45 degrees, dug to both sides of the camera, lead to the outside of the monument.

One thinks that both passages to the outside had the objective to shoot the spirit of the sovereign towards the sky, so that it assumed the place that corresponded to him in the stellar neighbourhood.

The camera of the queen, excavated under the one of the king, is the one that presents/displays the enigma. Both tunnels, the one of the north and the one of the south, dug with the same inclination of 45 degrees, are interrupted in front of individual limestone stone doors.

In 2002, one was able abrir the door of the South tunnel and the operative one revealed another door, that seemed to cover, to cover something. What?

The plans are, now, to use this called robot Djedi, in honor to the magician who king Keops used to consult for the construction of his pyramid, the one that was designed by engineers of the University of Leeds, England.

Doctor Robert Richardson, of the school of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Leeds, said to him to the British newspaper The Independent that was had been working in the project by five years.

The expedition hopes to reach the aim of both tunnels when it is carried out by the end of year.

Its mission will be to drill the second door without causing unnecessary damage.
