Scientists have discovered a hidden passage inside Egypt's Great Pyramid. The find is part of a seven-year international research mission.

Egypt's Tourism and Antiquities Minister Ahmed Issa told reporters at the ancient site in Giza that the "gabled corridor" with a triangular ceiling "was found on the northern face of the Great Pyramid of King Khufu".
