Published paper: Formed hypothesis suggesting a possible second entrance to the Menkaure pyramid.
Published date: 02-04-2019 – Author: Stijn van den Hoven – https://www.academia.edu/89378315/Hypothesis_The_possible_second_entrance_into_the_Menkaure_pyramid
UPDATE: On the 25th of April of 2025 the Scanpyramids Project released their scientific research testing this hypothesis: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S096386952500012X
UPDATE: The above paper went to press in in NDT international in October 2025 and major news outlets and archeology magazines covered the news in November https://www.google.com/search?q=menkaure+void
The objective is to find sponsors to fund further explorations.
A journey to open a pyramid at Giza, Sponsors are needed for further research, such as Muon scanning.
Updates to this research paper:
In 2019 Matt Sibson from the ancient architects channel made a youtube video about this paper. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gS6bJCiSyFQ
In february 2022 investigation commenced by a third party after this paper was brought to their attention and the relevant permits were obtained by them. As of March 2024 his research is still ongoing with no published data publicly made available yet.

On 21 September 2024 by chance I visited the Graham Hancock forum after 6 years of not having logged on. I saw there a Zahi Hawass update of a lecture he had from 1st of September.
The following announcements were made there as per this forum post.
https://grahamhancock.com/phorum/read.php?1,1340025
It mentions that Zahi Hawass announced that indeed a void was found by the remote sensing team, exactly at the spot where this research paper has led the remote sensing team whom I have been in contact with asking for updates for 3 years.
Below: Excerpt from the forum (not my words but forum user Manu)
My reply to that post on that forum can be read here where I mention it was my published research paper that lead to this discovery.
The remote sensing data corroborated my hypothesis so far.
A passage into the pyramid of Menkaure will be found there leading to the first unopened tomb in a pyramid structure or aditional storage rooms.
Below: images of the scanning / remote sensing efforts that led to above announcement.
