What Archaeologists Want You To Know About The Great Pyramid Void

This week, an international team of scientists published new research that used muon radiography imaging to locate a void in the Great Pyramid of Khufu. While the technique is getting worldwide applause for being deployed to peer inside the pyramid, archaeologists have begun to criticize the way the media is covering the discovery.
Muon tomography's relevance to archaeology has been discussed for quite a while. In 1970, Science published an article by Luis Alvarez and colleagues that used muon technology in an attempt to look for chambers in the Pyramid of Khafre. But the techniques have advanced considerably in fifty years.
