There are over a hundred pyramids in Egypt, but a majority of them are in a dilapidated state. However, the three Great Pyramids of the Giza Plateau have best survived the test of time and received the maximum attention from tourists. The smallest of the great trio, the often-ignored Pyramid of Menkaure, is no doubt a literal mountain of priceless historical evidence.

But why is it so small compared to the other two pyramids? Was it left incomplete? Is there any other reason for its partially disrupted state? What is the story behind the great breach across its northern face? It is certainly a "diamond in the rough" that might not have managed to shine as brightly as its enigmatic giant neighbors but is no less a mystery that has brought up dozens of questions.

In today’s video we will have a look at what archaeologists discovered inside the Pyramid of Menkaure.
