Why not use a 1/2 thick hammer drill bit and bore a hole into "the void" and then snake a camera inside? Why not just find out if it's something, or nothing. I don't see any point in just leaving the question unanswered.
Josh!
@Derek Howe: Perhaps they want to take their time to drive tourism?

The scanners can't define the size, shape and exact position of the void- really nothing for Egyptologists to follow up with. Really just another vague void in the Great Pyramid.

....We have to have an international discussion about that to know what it could be...
God beware! Do not let them deconstruct the pyramid to find that the scans are right - or wrong.
I guess Zahi Hawass is right: The pyramid is full of voids - simply saving building material.

This was explained by Ben Carson several months back, it's full of wheat, right?

"We have to have an international discussion about that to know what it could be."
So, since they can't access it, the only way to prove its existence is to have a sit-down talk and come to a consensus? At which point the science becomes settled?

Seems like it would have been more trouble that it would have been worth to create a void just for the sake of saving building materials.

So, the pyramid is "full of voids." Examples please. Small ones might make sense, but given the engineering effort to build it, I would be surprised that something as large as indicated is an anomaly. Heaven help us if there is something there that might upset the Egyptologist's apple cart.
