Robot Eyes Great Pyramid
     








 Researchers from Leeds University are working on a camera and
drill-weilding robot known as Djedi to solve the mystery of the blocked
shafts inside the Great Pyramid at Giza. In 1992 and 2002, remote
cameras were sent through the shaft under the watchful eye of
antiquities master Dr. Zahi Hawass only to be stopped by limestone
doors. Dr. Robert Richardson of the Mechanical Engineering department
said their goal is to find out what is beyond the blocks and go as far
as possible to discover the purpose of the shafts, all while doing
minimal damage to the structure.  Final preparations are being made now
with hopes
of sending the robot in before year's end.  Place your bets now!

I'm betting that they'll find a souvenir shop, manned by guys with green wings, and wearing Dr. Shoals sandals, selling postcards of God's Final Message, with the wording blurred out, "so as not to spoil the surprise". ;D

My guess is a message that once deciphered will read, “What took you so long?”

If Pyramid power was real those mummies would have hardly aged at all!

Oh...yeah....the first to enter the passage is cursed.

Chances are they'll never hear from the brave little bot again!!

Or...a new children's book: The Little Bot That Could!

A race of people waiting that say, "Gee...we were expecting someone much taller!"

 ;D :D
In the world of AI, it's the thought that counts!

I think they will find the first ever MacDonalds in there.  Or a force of unspeakable power which will change the world forever...so....much the same thing really...
