Scientists have found a tunnel inside Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza.

It's nine metres long and two metres wide.

It's hoped that the tunnel will teach us more about the secrets of the Great Pyramid.

It was built for the Pharaoh Khufu.

Zahi Hawass is one of the experts on the project.

Two centuries ago, experts needed to dig around the pyramid site, but these days, things work differently.

The tunnel was found by the ScanPyramids project.

The international team includes scientists from foreign universities and from Egypt.

They used modern technology to discover the tunnel.

So the pyramid wasn't damaged in any way.

The Great Pyramid was built 4,500 years ago and is the biggest in Egypt.

It stands at 146 metres high.

Today, it's the only structure left of the seven wonders of the ancient world.

Hawass believes this new tunnel could help historians find the body of King Khufu.

Centuries ago, an empty tomb was found inside the pyramid.

The Pyramid's secret may soon be out.
