http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-34773856 ![]() An international team of architects and scientists have observed "thermal anomalies" in the pyramids of Giza, Egyptian antiquities officials say. Thermal cameras detected higher temperatures in three adjacent stones at the bottom of the Great Pyramid. Officials said possible causes included the existence of empty areas inside the pyramid, internal air currents, or the use of different building materials. It comes as experts search for hidden chambers within the pyramids. The tombs of the pharaohs Khufu (Kheops), Khafre (Khephren) and Menkaure (Mycerinus) were built in the Fourth Dynasty, about 2613-2494BC. I wonder what these are? They might not be very exciting after all, but I'd like to think that they're hitherto undiscovered burial chambers....or maybe one of them houses Eric's weather machine .

We will not know what they are until they decide to take a sample of the building material, but perhaps it is indeed secret chambers, although i somewhat doubt that. |

Couldn't they use ground penetrating radar to look inside or is it too thick? |

I feel like the fact that it's at the bottom means they either used slightly different material as the base for the pyramids so the base was stronger, or because it's closer to the ground it's warmer. Probably not anything all that interesting, but I mean, who knows? It'd still be cool if they could discover what exactly is the cause. |

GPR only goes to a depth of around 40 or so feet, and costs an incredible amount of money to use. They may have devices that can figure out the reason but again they are quite expensive. |

Isn't it universally confirmed that there's chutes inside the pyramids? Maybe they lead to a geothermal well underneath. |

Yes they have a number of chutes/passages but i don't think any at the top are actually open but it depends on what the stone slabs are made of, some rocks can absorb heat better than others. |
