The ancient pyramids of Egypt still hold a lot of secrets. Despite years andyears of research and exploration, there are still many mysteries that liebehind the pyramids, most notably inside the Great Pyramid of Giza. Researchersare now seeking the help of robots in order to seek light to some of the hiddenmysteries that still remain inside the Great Pyramid. Researchers from LeedsUniversity in England, in partnership with French aviation company Dessault andBritish robotics company Scoutek, have built a robot explorer that can be usedto explore a shaft that may unlock the mysteries inside a room that hasremained sealed for over 4,500 years. This robot is part of a year-longexploration venture into the pyramid called the Djedi Project. A previous robotwas already used for the project but has failed to access this particular shaftlocated in the tomb of the Queen to allow further exploration into the sealedroom that was found inside the pyramid. Unlike the King’s tomb, which containshafts that lead to the outside of the Great Pyramid, shafts leading from theQueen’s tomb seem to go even deeper into the pyramid. The new robot, theresearchers hope, will do a better job in traveling down the shaft. The newrobot will incorporate a small fiber optic camera that can be used to lookaround corners, an ultrasonic probe for testing the quality of rock and amini-robot that can be released to fit into spaces as small as 0.7 inches indiameter. The robot will also be using special wheels made out of nylon andcarbon fiber so that it won’t deface the sensitive rock of the pyramid. Paranormal Phenomena – GuideTo.Com
