The roadway leading to the Great Pyramid of Giza discovered by a villager

Hello allo

Searched in vain for decades by archaeologists, the funeral causeway leading to the pyramid of Cheops, the largest of the three pyramids of Giza, just accidentally discovered by a villager.
For three decades, Egyptologists were looking in vain for the ground floor leading to the funerary complex of the largest of the three pyramids of Giza (Pyramid of Khufu), despite the use of some very sophisticated research tools.
Now, this floor has been discovered in a totally fortuitous by an inhabitant of El Haraneya, a village near the Giza site.
Indeed, by drilling a hole about ten meters into the ground, the head fell on an underground passage whose walls were made of large stone blocks.
After the discovery revealed, the property of the village has been sealed by the authorities of the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism. Further research was then conducted, which do seem to confirm that the underground passage discovered by villagers in fact leads to the pyramid of Cheops ...
This underground floor connects the Cheops pyramid to a mortuary temple called "the valley temple." According to a description by the Greek historian Herodotus (-484 to -420 BCE), this could be a long road about a kilometer. Also according to Herodotus, the underpass would be completely enclosed, and its walls are covered with numerous reliefs.
