Sub-atomic Particles Used To Map Pyramid

Posted by timothy on from the grids-of-matrices-of-lattices dept.

firegate writes "Yahoo News is reporting on a pyramid-mapping project focusing on an ancient Aztec site in Teotihuacan, Mexico. Scientists are attempting to map an ancient pyramid by detecting muons - sub-atomic particles which are left as remnants of ancient cosmic rays. A similar method was used to scan Egypt's Khephren Pyramid in the 1960's."

    Napoleon examined the pyramids with subatomic "photon" particles back in 1799.
