New evidence for hidden chambers beyond Tutankhamun's tomb

Summary

Researchers applied ground‑penetrating radar and a micro‑gravity survey around Tutankhamun’s tomb and identified anomalies that could indicate hidden corridors and a sealed chamber. The evidence is preliminary and still requires permission for any invasive investigation.

  • GPR and micro‑gravity surveys revealed a ~2 m wide low‑density corridor beyond the burial chamber wall.
  • Anomaly 7 shows a low‑density zone with a square high‑density core, possibly a sealed room filled with objects.
  • The data are inconclusive; Egyptian authorities have not yet approved drilling or camera deployment.

    Hackers removed a Flock license‑plate reader camera, copied its storage, extracted an on‑device encryption key, and released ~1.6 M images and logs covering 21 days of operation. Analysis shows the device captures ~28 images per vehicle, detects people, and stores raw media in unencrypted partitions. License‑plate detection runs on the cloud, and the camera’s software can mis‑identify graphics as…

  2. The Shadows Lurking in the Equations – Underwater Islands

    The article introduces FuzzyGraph, a web tool that visualizes equations as error heatmaps (fuzzy/non‑binary mode) instead of the classic binary “exact‑equals” plots. By showing regions of high error (black‑hole shadows) and low error (underwater islands), the author argues that fuzzy graphs reveal mathematical features invisible to conventional graphing tools.
