What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

[Rev. Rye]

the pyramid of Cheops, the largest of Egyptian pyramids,  has a large hidden unfinished corridor that no one knew about until last month.     Since it is unfinished, it probably does not lead to any hidden cache of Atlantean wisdom the preservation of which new age mystics often insist is the real purpose for these pyramids.

Are we sure it was actually unfinished? I only ask because I remember reading that the pyramids frequently had dead-end passages (and I wouldnt be surprised if some had multiple dead ends) specifically to trick robbers who wanted to steal from the late Pharaoh’s hoard. Granted, they didn’t actually work all that well, since everyone but Tutankhamun ended up having their tombs robbed anyway, but that was the idea.
