Introduction

Despite extensive muon scanning using three different detection methods (emulsion films, scintillators, and gas detectors), the exact purpose of the void has not been confirmed. Researchers are planning more advanced muon imaging with higher sensitivity to produce a true 3D tomographic image, which could help clarify its role in the pyramid’s design and construction.
