[TAG0]Explorers have uncovered the existence of a secret chamber in the Great Pyramid of Giza. Once the tallest human-made structure on Earth, the Great Pyramid has fascinated scholars, scientists, and explorers for thousands of years. Despite all the exploration of the structure, the pyramid remains a bit of a mystery. This newly discovered chamber is yet another slice of that mystery.
