The 30 metres is a void nobody entered. Nov 2, 2017, Nature: cosmic-ray muons found a void above the Grand Gallery, minimum 30 m. No camera, no robot. Still unentered, purpose unknown. The team avoided the word: “we know that it's a big void.”

The corridor a camera did enter is 9 m. March 2, 2023, Nature Communications: the North Face Corridor, behind the original entrance: 9 m long, 2.10 m wide, gabled ceiling. Images came from a 6 mm endoscope pushed through a joint under the lowest chevron, no drilling.

“Announced in 2026” is a promise. Nov 2025, Sharjah Book Fair: Zahi Hawass said a 30 m passageway ending at a door “will rewrite a chapter in the history of the pharaohs,” to be announced in 2026. As of today, Sept 20, 2026, no published result.

In 2017 the same Hawass told the NYT the void was “nothing... Zero.” In 2023 he called the corridor a major discovery.

The fact is the void: 30 m, known nine years, never entered. The door is a promise.

Name one Egypt claim you keep hearing. First check free.

Update, 23 October 2026. Still no published result on this corridor, and none announced. A second pyramid story is now being mixed in with it: a peer-reviewed paper on two voids behind the east face of Menkaure (NDT & E International 155, October 2025), put in front of the public by TUM on 23 April 2026. Different pyramid, different question. I pulled the two apart here: https://paper.wf/jake-92/two-2026-pyramid-stories
