Does the mummy’s curse count if you do an endoscopy versus opening a portal big enough to pass through?
Jokes aside, this is really outstanding work.
I'm trying to understand the article but i'm struggling. They're saying there's a corridor near h on the first image, but i'm guessing the image doesn't illustrate the corridor?
Do any of the images show a cross section or detail of the corridor being mentioned?
The first image has a red shaded area, that looks interesting, what do we know about it?
On the images showing A and B, is the dotted red the point of discussion?
Yes. (h) is basically not shown. I think location (i) is showing the results of the two studies, with the ellipsis probably being a good indicator of how accurate they can see (as in +/- 1 m as opposed to seeing objects or stone joints). (h) is basically ‘over here somewhere’ but they wanted to emphasize the higher chambers. Edit: (h) has its own map in the black and white image. Pretty small, but easy to get to.
Ok so correct me if i'm wrong.
The A/B image is the bit behind the chevron, which seems like its about 8m in depth and there's nothing in there because they put a camera through a crack?
And there is a suspected 30m corridor above the grand gallery?
I think there was an undecorated chamber/corridor, but no major artifacts so far. So there was a void, but it was just an empty area. I thought I saw a picture… not sure I trust The Sun, but that’s the picture I saw. Looks confirmed here.
And yes to your second question.
Ahhhh yeah I remember seeing the gif yesterday, it does line up with the dimensions on the image. Thanks for clearing that up.

For the endoscopic you just have the take the mummy to a fancy dinner, for opening a big portal you need a more serious commitment...
