The speed of the heating and cooling phases makes it possible to test a number of hypotheses: about hollow places in pyramids, internal air currents or heterogeneous building materials.

Project for scanning pyramids in the city of Giza revealed temperature anomaly a number of structures, including the largest of them - the Pyramid of Cheops (known in the country as Khufu), according to the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities.

The statement notes that the first phase of the project revealed "a particularly visible (anomaly) on the eastern side of the Khufu pyramid."

Experts conducted a thermal scan of the pyramid at dawn, when the giant structure heats up from the outside, and then at sunset, when it cools down. It is the speed of the heating and cooling phases that makes it possible to test a number of hypotheses: about hollow places in pyramids, internal air flows or heterogeneous building materials.

The pyramid of Khufu (in Greek - Cheops) is the largest and oldest of the three Great Pyramids, built by the pharaohs of the fourth dynasty (2589-2530 BC) on the Giza plateau south of Cairo. Its original height was 147 meters. The pyramid is composed of approximately 2.3 million limestone blocks with an average weight of 2.5 tons each.
