Because why? The pyramids are not a fun park or escape room, they are a piece of art. How would you feel if we'd tear Mona Lisa apart to check if there's some older painting below the outside layer and the canvas?

How on earth is this just happening in 2023. Ultrasound, xrays, whatever. SOMETHING would have shown this cavity.
