SALISBURY, MD---Despite being one of the oldest and largest monuments on Earth, there is no consensus about how the Great Pyramid of Gisa was built.

With advances in technology, however, analysts are coming closer.

Dr. Yasser Elshayeb, associate professor of engineering at Cairo University, Egypt, discusses some of the most cutting-edge research ever conducted regarding the pyramid’s internal structure — and the results it yielded — during the presentation “New Discovery of the Pyramids” at Salisbury University.

His talk is 7 p.m. Wednesday, September 26, in the Great Hall of Holloway Hall.

Using the principles of modern particle physics, researchers recently imaged the pyramid using muons—byproducts of cosmic rays that are only partially observed by stone. The results have been hailed as a breakthrough for understanding its structure, including a hidden void at least 100 feet long.

Sponsored by the Cultural Affairs Office; World Artists Experiences, Inc.; and the Embassy of the Arab Republic of Egypt in Washington, D.C., admission is free and the public is invited.
