  This is why I'm a huge proponent of teaching history as an exciting course in schools.Our understanding of the past is constantly evolving and changing shape in significant ways. It's rather sad that so many kids grow up never being exposed to an instructor with such an attitude. So many people consider the topic boring and that's tragic.Huge wins for science make me happy, too.

  I remember this being talked about >20 years ago when the idea came up and they had to get clearance from the Egyptian gov which were not keen on the idea. If this is indeed the same "hidden passage" ... Gee .. 20 years to get clearance.

  Are we able to generate muons outside of a particle accelerator, or does all muography rely on cosmic rays?

  Just when you think Egyptology can't get more interesting, it does. No wonder "just a quick search about the Pyramids" turns into a lifelong obsession for many.

  Wild that we're still learning new things about ancient architecture! I'd think with all the modern tech at our disposal we'd have full, high res scans of the inside by now.

  What's exciting about this is the opportunity to examine an untouched area of history. Sadly, over hundreds of years, much of the artifacts from these sites were looted. Hopefully we've learned our lessons at this point and can preserve them this round.
