These strange, dark hieroglyphs were found on the floor of a hidden chamber in Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza, according to a mathematical analysis of the 4,500-year-old pyramid.
A hidden chamber deep within the Great Pyramid of Giza revealed a stunning secret last month: strange hieroglyphs written in red paint and sealed within the structure for 4,500 years.
And now one researcher may have unlocked that mystery.
"The markings are hieratic numerical signs. They read from right to left, meaning 100, 20, 1. The builders simply recorded the total length of the shaft: 121 cubits," Luca Miatello, an independent researcher who specializes on ancient Egyptian mathematics, told Discovery News.
The markings, red ochre figures painted on the floor of the hidden "Queen's Chamber" deep within the pyramid, corresponds to the length of the shaft leading to them, Miatello said.
