I-Cairo -Ingcali ye-archaeologist ephezulu yase-Egypt ithe ngoLwesithathu abakhenkethi bazokwazi ukubona okokuqala isikhephe sesibini selanga se-Cheops ngekhamera efakwe ngaphakathi kumngxuma wesikhephe.

UZahi Hawas, intloko yeBhunga eliPhezulu le-Antiquities (SCA), uthe isikrini esikhulu siya kufakwa kwimyuziyam yesikhephe selanga, esecaleni elisezantsi lephiramidi enkulu. Isikrini siya kubonisa isikhephe esiziimitha ezili-10 ngaphantsi komhlaba.

Iphenyane, elakhelwe ukusa iKing Cheops kwindawo engaphantsi komhlaba, lafunyanwa okokuqala ngo-1957. Abembi bezinto zakudala basigquma isikhephe kwakhona ukuze singonakali.

U-Hawas uthe i-SCA, ngokubambisana ne-Egyptologist yaseJapan uSakuji Yoshimura ovela kwiYunivesithi yaseWaseda eJapan iya kubeka ikhamera ngaphakathi kwesikhephe. Abakhenkethi baya kukwazi ukubona isikhephe ukuqala ngoMgqibelo olandelayo ngaphandle kokuba umngxuma uvulwe kwakhona.

Phakathi kwiminyaka yoo-90s, iqela leYunivesithi yaseWaseda lasebenza ekususeni izinambuzane ezangena emhadini xa yayivulwa okokuqala.

Eli qela likwacebise ngeprojekthi yokubuyisela isikhephe esixabisa malunga nezigidi ezibini zeerandi. I-SCA isafunda le projekthi.
