Question
HI, A GOOD WHILE BACK, I WAS WATCHING A LIVE PROGRAM WITH TV CREW SENDING A SMALL ROBOT INTO A DOOR INSIDE OF A LARGE PRYMID IN EGYPT, AND IT CAME TO ANOTHER LARGE SOLID DOOR. THEY WERE; AT A LATER TIME TO  PROCEED TO SEE WHAT WAS BEHIND THE DOOR.I WISH I COULD GIVE YOU MORE INFO, BUT IT HAS BEEN AWHILE. THANK YOU, TERESA

Answer
Hi Teresa,

Yes, I have seen this program as well.  It is one of a series of similar programs "seeking" answers to the "mysteries" of Ancient Egypt.  Many of these mysteries are unfortunately manufactured for TV and have little or no basis in reality.  As for the program you are refering to, they sent a small robot up a very narrow "tunnel" and it came to a solid "end" point.  Wether this is a door or simply a building block it is unkown.  This may have been a vent used by workers who were working in the interior of the pyramid during construction.  Then when  this interior section was completed, it was blocked off.  

I'm not sure what your question is about this but, I am hoping that I provided the information you were looking for.  If not, please ask a follow up question.
