Scientists have discovered a secret tunnel inside Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza, and it's created plenty of excitement.

Nine metres in length and two metres in width, experts are hoping it will provide important information about King Khufu's tomb.

Mystery surrounds this Egyptian Pharaoh.

Zahi Hawass is an expert in ancient Egypt.

He's in charge of checking the project.

This new find avoided causing any damage to the Pyramid itself, which makes it different from historical discoveries.

The hidden tunnel was found by a special project, 'ScanPyramids', which combines experts from Egypt with university scientists from abroad.

The team made clever use of different technologies - thermography, radiography and the building of 3D computer models.

4,500 years old, the Great Pyramid is the largest in the country, and rises to 146 metres in height.

Of the seven wonders of the ancient world, it's the only one still with us today.

Zahi Hawass is hoping this recent discovery could help locate where King Khufu was buried inside the pyramid.

A stone sarcophagus was discovered centuries ago, but the Pharaoh's body was missing.

The mystery may soon be solved.
