Researchers from Leeds University are working on a camera and
drill-weilding robot known as Djedi to solve the mystery of the blocked
shafts inside the Great Pyramid at Giza. In 1992 and 2002, remote
cameras were sent through the shaft under the watchful eye of
antiquities master Dr. Zahi Hawass only to be stopped by limestone
doors. Dr. Robert Richardson of the Mechanical Engineering department
said their goal is to find out what is beyond the blocks and go as far
as possible to discover the purpose of the shafts, all while doing
minimal damage to the structure. Final preparations are being made now
with hopes
of sending the robot in before year's end. Place your bets now!
