Another stone door found in Egyptian pyramid¹⁾

   Scientists using a robot have discovered yet another door deep inside the Great Pyramid，Egypt’s archaeologist²⁾ Hawass said．This find is a similar stone door with last week’s door，but this in the northern shaft，last week's discovery in the southern shaft．There’ve been ３doors discovered in the Great Pyramid．Hawass said he would consult with other experts to try to determine whether the doors have symbolic or structural³⁾ roles and use those theories to map further exploration⁴⁾．

大金字塔内又发现一道石门

埃及考古学家哈瓦斯说，科学家们在大金字塔塔内深处利用机器人又发现一道石门，这道石门与上周发现的石门类似，只不过这次发现的石门在塔身北部，而上周发现的是在塔身南部，这样大金字塔已发现了３道石门。哈瓦斯说，他将与其他科学家共同研究这些石门究竟代表了什么，是一种象征还是塔本身结构所需要的，然后利用这一结论来计划进一步的探究。
