图片新闻【183】机器人即将探险大金字塔起源之谜

U.S. expert Gregg Landry from Boston (R) and his colleague Pavlo Rudakevych from California try to test the Pyramid Rover, an extraordinary robot designed to explore a small air shaft in the Queen's chambers inside the Great pyramid of Cheops, September 13, 2002. The Egyptian Antiquities department and National Geographic will soon send the robot through the shaft to the heart of Egypt's biggest pyramid, hoping a mysterious vault at the core will shed light on how these royal tombs were built 4,500-years-ago.
