An international team of researchers that includes a group of Japanese scientists has launched a project to scan Egypt’s pyramids to uncover as many secrets as possible about their construction.

The architects and scientists from Egypt, France, Canada and Japan will use modern infrared technology and advanced detectors that do not require drilling to map two pyramids at Giza and the two Dashour pyramids south of Cairo.

“This special group will study these pyramids to see whether there are still any hidden chambers or other secrets” inside them, Minister of Antiquities Mamdouh Eldamaty said Sunday at a news conference.

“These engineers and architects will conduct the survey using nondestructive technology that will not harm the pyramids,” he said.
