'Anomalies' found in thermal scanning of Egypt pyramids

Cairo (AFP) – Anomalies have been found in Egypt’s Khufu pyramid two weeks into a thermal scanning project aimed at discovering the famed pharaonic monument secrets, officials said on Monday.

Operation Scan Pyramids began on October 25 to search for hidden chambers inside four pyramids including Khufu’s, the tallest and also known as the Great pyramid of Giza.
