La vallée des reines

En scannant Kheops, ils découvrent deux nouvelles cavités dans la pyramide Pour mettre au jour l'existence de ces nouvelles cavités, qui n'ont bien évidemment pas encore pu être explorées, les scientifiques de ScanPyramids ont conjugué plusieurs technologies très pointues. C'est tout d'abord à la caméra thermique qu'une anomalie a été détectée au-dessus du l'entrée nord et de son couloir descendant qui, par un circuit de corridors, mène à la fameuse chambre du Roi. En parcourant la face nord de la pyramide avec leurs caméras thermiques, les scientifiques n'ont pas obtenu les résultats auxquels ils s'attendaient au niveau de quatre énormes chevrons. Des particules cosmiques qui franchissent des roches « L’équipe recourt alors à la muographie », rapporte Sciences et avenir qui consacre un article très technique et très détaillé à cette découverte. « Les muons sont des particules cosmiques qui tombent en permanence sur Terre. Un vide important apparaît Après 67 jours de pose, les films exposés dans la pyramide de Kheops ont été développés, puis analysés.

Pyramides de Gizeh 3841 tombs and monuments listed. Thanks to 10 years of collected research, Dassault Systèmes was able to reconstruct the Giza Necropolis as accurately as possible. Room 61: Tomb-chapel of Nebamun The Michael Cohen Gallery1400 – 1300 BC The British Museum acquired 11 wall-paintings from the tomb-chapel of a wealthy Egyptian official called Nebamun in the 1820s. Dating from about 1350 BC, they are some of the most famous works of art from Ancient Egypt. Following a 10-year period of conservation and research, the paintings are now on display together for the first time. They give the impression of the walls of colour that would have been experienced by the ancient visitors to the tomb-chapel. Objects dating from the same time period and a 3D animation of the tomb-chapel will help to set the tomb-chapel in context and allow visitors to experience how the finished tomb would have looked.
