They May Have Found Cosmic Particles Inside the Pyramids

This is the brief formal definition of a Muon:

Muons are created when cosmic rays from deep space interact with the atoms in Earth’s atmosphere, and it’s estimated that around 10,000 of them fall on a square metre of Earth per minute, travelling at nearly the speed of light. Like more powerful X-rays, these particles easily pass through empty space, but can be absorbed or deflected by dense materials, such as thick slabs of rock.

This means if researchers detect muons in one spot for long enough, they can use the data to create a picture of what the particles passed through above the detector. This technique is known as muon radiography and it’s commonly used to map the inside structure of volcanoes.

This sounds like a good idea.  Why didn’t they try this a long time ago??  Check back for updates as they come in this story is likely to have an update!

    I’d like to know how looking for Cosmic particles would help tell how they were made. Unless you are leaning towards extraterrestrial construction.

    They’re using them as more of an sonar type system to see if there are any hidden passages they haven’t found… Talk about twisting a headline to get clicks…

    So basicall a normal occuring phenomenon happened while the pyramids were built? How hard is it to believethat actual people built the pyramids?

    When you look at the perfection that is the great pyramids, the size, the precise measurements (that we can barely match to this day) the time it was built. Ya damn right it’s hard to believe humans were capable of it back in those days. They are a wonder of the world for good reason.

    Yes, but they were made by people and the thing that I detest is the “magical” alien thinking that it is impossible for people to carry out the construction of these world wonders. There are wood slats inside the pyramid that were used to move the incredibly heavy blocks.

    Its hard to listen to modern mans interpretations concerning our ancient ancestors and there intelligence.When our ancestors throughout the earth seemed to be connected by a common goal.Which shaped there very paths in life.We share no similarity in our present time.our ancestors seemed consumed by a creator god.This can be seen as the case in all areas of there lives and studies.Lets speculate for a minute that they had achieved a deeper understanding in this area just as we.have achieved understanding to various fields of study.If they had acheived somesort of deeper understanding of god why would they need all of the modern gadgets of today.
