This shaft is 4500 years old. I wonder how many people have been down it.
It seems arrogant to call the "big void" a discovery, being that someone actually built the big void.
I would expect this "discovery" has been discovered a few dozen times, considering the age of the pyramids, but previous discoveries were lost to history.
"discovery" in the sense that the modern world previously had no understanding that it existed. It is the same logic that Columbus discovered America-- obviously it existed but the discovery was revealing it to the rest of the world.
