Cheops pyramidSeems like there really is no stopping now the archaeologists from probing deep within the walls of the great Cheops pyramid. After failing to fully explore the pyramid back in 2002 from the Queen's chamber because of a stone wall or door with copper handles, the team is back, and armed with a new robot.

This robot will trek the same narrow passages in the Queen's chamber as the robot in the first expedition did. This time, however, it will be armed with tiny cameras, which can be inserted via a tiny hole drilled through the blockage. It is the archaeologists' hope that they will find more clues that will lead them to the discovery of the very tomb of Cheops.

The team will be composed of experts from Egypt, Singapore, Britain and Hong Kong. The robot will start its mission some time in February next year.
