cosmic rays map secret corridor in egypt's great pyramid

A recent discovery in Egypt’s Great Pyramid of Giza could reveal more about the construction of the world-famous landmark, according to a team of scientists from the “Scan Pyramids” project backed by the Egyptian Tourism Ministry of Antiquities.

The team used a non-destructive technique known as cosmic-ray muon radiography to scan a gabled limestone structure, discovering a nine-meter hidden corridor. The shaft is situated above the main entrance to Khufu’s Pyramid, one of the most significant archaeological monuments in the world and a site that still holds countless mysteries.

The Scan Pyramids team has been working on the project since 2015, using infrared thermography, 3D simulations, and endoscope cameras to probe the ancient burial structure. Scientists reported several discoveries in the Great Pyramid of Giza five years ago, and the ongoing scans are helping to better understand the function and architectural makeup of the 5,000-year-old structure.

The Petshop Launches UAE’s First Pet Care Super App

the petshop launches uae's first pet care super app

The Petshop has introduced a “Super App” that pulls together shopping, service bookings and pet records into a single platform, pitching it as the first integrated pet care app of its kind in the UAE.

The release turns the company’s stores, services and e-commerce operation into one connected system. Instead of juggling calls, WhatsApp chats and paper notes, customers manage everything from one account.

Each pet gets a dedicated profile. Age, diet, medical notes and behavioral traits sit in one place and update over time. For households with multiple animals, it’s a practical fix: fewer lost details, fewer repeat explanations at the counter.

That data feeds the app’s personalization. Reminders, recommendations and service options adjust to the specific pet rather than defaulting to broad prompts.

Grooming, boarding, relocation, aquatics and wellness services are booked through the same flow. Users can check availability, lock in appointments and see past visits without hopping between tools. All of the key services can be accessed and booked with a few taps.

The company says records and documents are stored with added safeguards, including verified digital paperwork for sensitive information, while usage signals trigger timely prompts without exposing private data.

“Over the past fifteen years, we’ve grown alongside the pet community in the UAE and seen how pet ownership has evolved,” said Amr Hazem Youssef, CEO of The Petshop. “For pet families, care now depends on continuity, accurate information, and services that match real life, not isolated transactions. This app brings those elements into one place with a structure that supports reliable care”.

He added: “Pets have individual needs that change over time, and those needs shape daily decisions around routines, health, and wellbeing. By keeping information organized and connecting services within one system, we can reduce friction for pet families and deliver greater consistency across the experience.”

Founded in 2011, The Petshop now operates 11 outlets across the United Arab Emirates, including megastores in Dubai Investment Park and Abu Dhabi’s Al Reem Island, plus an online catalogue of more than 12,000 products.

The Petshop Super App is available on both the App Store and Google Play.
