'Discovery of the Century': Mysterious Void Discovered In Egypt's Great Pyramid (nationalgeographic.com)
New submitter klgds writes: The cavity is the first major inner structure discovered in the pyramid since the 1800s. Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza -- one of the wonders of the ancient world, and a dazzling feat of architectural genius -- contains a hidden void at least a hundred feet long, scientists said. The space's dimensions resemble those of the pyramid's Grand Gallery, the 153-foot-long, 26-foot-tall corridor that leads to the burial chamber of Khufu, the pharaoh for whom the pyramid was built. However, it remains unclear what lies within the space, what purpose it served, or if it's one or multiple spaces. The void is the first large inner structure discovered within the 4,500-year-old pyramid since the 1800s -- a find made possible by recent advances in high-energy particle physics. The results were published in the journal Nature. "This is definitely the discovery of the century," says archaeologist and Egyptologist Yukinori Kawae, a National Geographic Emerging Explorer. "There have been many hypotheses about the pyramid, but no one even imagined that such a big void is located above the Grand Gallery."
Especially considering this century is only 17 years old.
Who do you think built the pyramids, idiot.
Like another poster already pointed out, the ancient Egyptians, which lived thousands of years before arabs even existed.
Or did you think mohamed invented arabs when he invented allah?
Allah means "God" in arabic, and Islam is based on Judaism and Christianity - in many ways it's the same religion worshiping the "one true God". So Mohammed didn't invent Allah. Nope.
I wonder where the guy found all the time between his mass rape sessions.
It's a common accusation from more base-minded people that Mohammed was a pedophile, which I guess is what you're hinting at. While it might be true that Mohammed had sex with what we consider to be children in the 21st century - I honestly don't know that - I think it's safe to say that this was happening all over the world in the 6th century and would not be some "perversion" unique to Mohammed. It might be inconceivable to you, but moral and ethical standards do change over the centuries.

Dictionary: void = a space containing no matter
So they found literally nothing? Must be certainly the discovery of the century.
Well, I've got to get back to work. When I stop rowing, the slave ship just goes in circles.
It's funny that very few racists are smart enough to be racist properly. It requires good knowledge of history and anthropology to know where to direct the irrational hatred.
