Egyptologists Uncover Hidden Corridor Within the Great Pyramid of Giza
Egyptologists Uncover , Hidden Corridor Within , the Great Pyramid of Giza.
'The Independent' reports that a 30-foot-long
hidden corridor has been discovered near
the main entrance of the Great Pyramid of Giza.
.
On March 2, Egyptian officials said
the mysterious tunnel found in the 4,500-year-old
megalith could lead to further findings.
.
Located above the main entrance, the tunnel was detected
as part of a scanning project using non-invasive infrared
thermography to 'see' inside the ancient pyramid.
Mostafa Waziri, head of Egypt’s Supreme Council
of Antiquities, said the corridor was likely meant
to redistribute the pyramid's massive weight.

We’re going to continue our scanning
so we will see what we can do ... to figure
out what we can find out beneath it,
or just by the end of this corridor, Mostafa Waziri, head of Egypt’s Supreme Council
of Antiquities, via 'The Independent'.
According to an article published in 'Nature,'
the discovery may yield knowledge
regarding the construction of the pyramid.
The discovery could also shed light on
the purpose of a gabled limestone structure
built just outside of the corridor.
The Pharaoh Khufu, otherwise known as Cheops,
who reigned around 2560 B.C., is credited with
the construction of the Great Pyramid.

Towering over Giza, the pyramid stands 479 feet
tall and was the tallest structure built by humans
until construction of the Eiffel Tower in 1889.
The massive monument
is also the last surviving
wonder of the ancient world.

'The Independent' reports that experts remain divided over the construction of Egypt's pyramids.
New discoveries are often
of great interest to both scholars and the public.

EPA Takes Aim at, US Chemical Emissions, That Are Likely Carcinogens.
'The Independent' reports that over 200 chemical
plants in the United States will be required
to reduce toxic emissions under a new rule. .
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
released the new rule regarding toxic
emissions likely to cause cancer on April 9.
The rule is meant to deliver critical health protections
for communities faced with industrial pollution from
dangerous chemicals, such as chloroprene and ethyl oxide.
The rule will significantly reduce
emissions from the Denka Performance
Elastomer facility in LaPlace, Louisiana.
The facility is the largest producer of
chloroprene emissions in the U.S., according
to EPA Administrator Michael Regan.
Every community in this country
deserves to breathe clean air.
That’s why I took the Journey
to Justice tour to communities
like St. John the Baptist Parish,
where residents have borne
the brunt of toxic air for far too long, Michael Regan, EPA Administrator, via 'The Independent'.
We promised to listen to folks that
are suffering from pollution and act
to protect them. Today we deliver
on that promise with strong final
standards to slash pollution,
reduce cancer risk and ensure
cleaner air for nearby communities, Michael Regan, EPA Administrator, via 'The Independent'.
According to officials, the changes
are meant to reduce ethylene oxide and
chloroprene emissions in the U.S. by nearly 80%.
'The Independent' reports that the rule updates
several regulations on chemical plant emissions
that have not been altered in nearly 20 years.
The EPA said that the new rule will reduce a total of over
6,200 tons of toxic air pollutants annually in an effort
to address health risks in neighboring communities

Scientists Capture , Radio Signals , From Long-Dormant Star.
'The Independent' reports that scientists have
been puzzled after receiving unprecedented
radio signals from a previously dormant star.
The star, named XTE J1810-197, is a magnetar. .
Magnetars are a type of neutron star and are
the most powerful magnets in the universe.
XTE J1810-197 is the nearest known magnetar
to Earth, about 8,000 light years away.
Now, scientists have received radio
pulses from the dormant star that
do not fit previous expectations.
Unlike the radio signals we’ve
seen from other magnetars,
this one is emitting enormous
amounts of rapidly changing
circular polarisation. We had never
seen anything like this before, Marcus Lower, Postdoctoral fellow
at Australia’s national science agency,
CSIRO, via 'The Independent'.
Scientists discovered that the new pulses are emitting
a type of spiraling light that is different from the
polarized light emitted by most other magnetars.
In 2003, XTE J1810-197 became
the first known magnetar to
produce a radio signal.
After being discovered, the magnetar
then went silent for over a decade. .
The team that discovered it said that
the findings could change our
understanding of intense magnetic fields.
The signals emitted from
this magnetar imply that
interactions at the surface
of the star are more complex than
previous theoretical explanations, Manisha Caleb, University of Sydney,
a co-author on the study, via 'The Independent'.
The team's findings were published
in the journal 'Nature Astronomy.'

US Highway Agency Says 2023, Saw Second Consecutive Year of, Declining Traffic Deaths.
'The Independent' reports that traffic deaths
in the United States fell 3.6% in 2023, recording
approximately 41,000 deaths on the nation's roads.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, 2023 was the second year in
a row that saw the number of fatalities decrease.
On April 1, the agency also released
final numbers for 2022, registering
42,514 fatalities related to crashes.
According to NHTSA Deputy Administrator
Sophie Shulman, Q4 of 2023 marked the
seventh consecutive quarter of declining traffic deaths.
'The Independent' reports that the news
comes despite people driving more.
Estimates by the Federal Highway Administration show
that people in the U.S. drove 67.5 billion more miles
in 2023 than they did the year before, a 2.1% increase.
According to Shulman,
the numbers remain too high with many of
those deaths the result of distracted driving. .
An estimated 3,308 people were killed in
distracted driving crashes, while another
289,310 people were injured in 2022.
Distracted driving is
extremely dangerous, Sophie Shulman, NHTSA Deputy Administrator, via 'The Independent'.
The agency is set to launch its 'Put the Phone Away or Pay'
advertising campaign, which will include a law enforcement
crackdown on the behavior from April 4 to 8. .

This Day in History: , Eiffel Tower Opens.
March 31, 1889.
Designed by Gustave Eiffel,
the tower was completed
under budget in less than two years.
Eiffel's design was chosen
among more than 100 others.
The structure was meant to commemorate
the centenary of the French Revolution.
At the time of its opening, it was the
tallest man-made structure in the world.
Eiffel faced design
skepticism and criticism.
Decades after its construction,
the tower was regarded as a
masterpiece of architecture. .
Less than two months after its opening,
the tower would serve as the entrance
to the Paris International Exposition
