Ukuphila kwaye ngexesha lokwenyani, abatyeleli kwi-Plateau yaseGiza e-Egypt babona okokuqala ukufunyanwa kwezinto zakudala kubunzulu be-10 yeemitha. Uphononongo lubonisa imixholo yesikhephe sesibini seKing Khufu, esentshona yeKhufu boat museum, ijongwe ngekhamera, utshilo uMphathiswa weNkcubeko uFarouk Hosni.
UGqr. Zahi Hawass, unobhala jikelele weBhunga eliPhezulu lezinto zakudala (SCA), uthe abakhenkethi banokubukela okufunyenweyo kwiscreen esikwimyuziyam yeKhufu. Esi sikrini siza kubonisa imiboniso yesibini umngxuma iphenyane live okwesihlandlo sokuqala kakhulu ukususela ekubhaqweni kwayo ngo 1957. Hawass wachaza ukuba SCA uye wavumelana Japan Waseda University mission ekhokelwa nguNjingalwazi Sakuji Yoshimura, ukubeka ikhamera ngaphakathi emhadini ukubonisa yayo. imixholo ngaphandle kokuyivula.
Umsebenzi ka-Yoshimura wasungula iprojekthi yokumba emngxunyeni, ukongeza ekubuyiseleni iinkuni zesikhephe emva kweminyaka engama-20 yokwenza izifundo ezithe kratya kuwo; Ixabiso lilonke leprojekthi yi-EGP yezigidi ezili-10 (malunga ne-US $ 1.7 yezigidi) kwaye ijongiwe yikomiti yezenzululwazi evela kwi-SCA kubandakanya iJograji yase-Egypt uGqirha Farouk El Baz kunye noGqirha Omar El Arini.
Kwi-1987, i-National Geographic Society eWashington, DC yenza isigqibo esihlangeneyo kunye ne-Egyptian Antiquities Organisation (EAO) yokubeka ikhamera ngaphakathi kwendawo yesibini yomkhumbi kunye nokufota iziqulatho zayo. Ngelo xesha, ukuwohloka komthi wephenyane kunye nobukho bezinambuzane zafunyanwa. Ebudeni beminyaka yee-1990, kwavunyelwana neYunivesithi yaseWaseda ukuba iseke iqela lezenzululwazi elisebenzisanayo ukuze lijongane nezi zinambuzane nokususwa kwazo, ukongezelela ekwenzeni isigqubuthelo phezu komngxuma wesikhephe ukuwukhusela kwimitha yelanga.
I-SCA izakubiza imali ngokubukela oku kufunyenwe kwiscreen semyuziyam yaseKhufu, utshilo uHawass.
EGiza, iPiramidi enkulu eyakhiwe njengengcwaba likaKumkani uKhufu, yakhiwa kwiminyaka engama-4,500 eyadlulayo nguKhufu ngokwakhe, umlawuli wakudala owaziwa kamva njengeCheops. Eyakhe yeyona igqwesileyo kuzo zonke iiphiramidi zaseYiputa, ezenziwe ngeebhloko zelitye ezizizigidi ezi-2.3, kwaye iphulukene nobude bayo bokuqala obuziimitha ezingama-481 (iimitha ezili-146) kunye nobubanzi obuziimitha ezingama-756 (iinyawo ezingama-230). Yagqitywa ngo-2566 BC. inobunzima obungaphezulu kwe-6.5 yezigidi zeetoni.
IPyramidi eNkulu kaKhufu ngoku ilahlekileyo ubukhulu bayo, obuye bonakaliswa kancinci zizigidi zeminyaka yentlabathi ebethwe ngumoya, ukanti ipiramidi iyaqhubeka nokulawula ithafa laseGiza.
Ngaphezu kwenkulungwane, abembi bezinto zakudala bebezibuza ukuba kutheni kwakhiwe iishafu ezine nokuba zeziphi iimfihlo abanazo. Iishafti zisenokuba zinendima yokomfuziselo kwintandabulumko yonqulo kaKhufu. UKhufu wazivakalisa njengoThixo weLanga ngexesha lobomi bakhe - ooFaro phambi kwakhe bakholelwa ukuba baba ngoothixo belanga kuphela emva kokufa - kwaye usenokuba wazama ukubonakalisa iingcamango zakhe kuyilo lwephiramidi yakhe. NgoSeptemba 17, 2002, i-irobot eyenziwe eJamani yenziwa ukuba idlule kwisikwere shaft esiziisentimitha ezingama-8 (esingalungiselelwanga abantu) ukuze ibone into engaphaya kocango lwegumbi. Izazinzulu azifumananga nto ichulumancisayo kunomnye umnyango, owenziwe ngomthi, onemiqheba yobhedu. Bakholelwa ukuba ikhokelela kwesinye isicatshulwa esifihliweyo.
Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, ipiramidi kaKhufu khange ivelise ubuncwane obuhlala bunxulunyaniswa noofaro, mhlawumbi kuba abaphangi bamangcwaba babephanga amawaka eminyaka eyadlulayo.
Kwi-2005, i-mission yase-Australia ekhokelwa nguNaguib Kanawati yatyhila umfanekiso we-4,200 wendoda ekholelwa ukuba yayinguMeri, umfundisi wePepi II. UMeri wayekholelwa ukuba wongamela izikhephe ezine ezingcwele ezifunyenwe kwiipiramidi, zangcwatywa kunye nookumkani baseYiputa ukubanceda kubomi basemva kokufa.
Ukufunyanwa kweenqanawa ezingcwele kwakuhambelana namaxesha amabini abalulekileyo kwimbali, i-Old Kingdom, ebuyela kwiminyaka eyi-4,200, kunye ne-26th Dynasty, eyayiyiminyaka engama-2,500 XNUMX eyadlulayo- ixesha likaKhufu.
Abakhenkethi baya kunikwa ithuba elinqabileyo lokuzibonela ngawabo isikhephe selanga saseFaro, esingazange senziwe kwimbali yaseYiputa yokumba.
