With the Big Void of the Great Pyramid being on everyone’s radar in 2026, speculation as to what is hiding inside is gaining traction online.
This is a very large chamber inside the last remaining wonder of the ancient world, with no obvious entrance or access corridor, and no signs of ever been entered into by ancient looters.
The Big Void was not documented by medieval explorers, and it hasn’t been seen by historic antiquarians, modern explorers, or archaeologists. It was only discovered in the 21st century thanks to the science of muography, when the Great Pyramid was muon-scanned as part of the ScanPyramids Mission, who announced their results back in 2017, the same year I started the Ancient Architects channel.
And 9 years on, once its exact position and orientation are confirmed with other geophysical techniques, a team of experts are hoping to peer inside the Big Void later this year, in what will be arguably the most exciting piece of archaeological exploration of the 21st century. But what could be inside the Big Void?
Well, in this video, I’ll be giving 5 possibilities.
