Ground penetrating radar found SOMEthing... I'm slightly skeptical that it's a burial chamber since the poor quality limestone of the plateau is full of natural caves and cavelets.

One interesting note is that the Japanese have long been partners in Giza excavations and were one of the teams that excavated the Khufu boat pits.
Quote:CAIRO — A joint team of Japanese and Egyptian researchers have started an excavation in an area known as the Western Cemetery, located close to the Great Pyramid of Giza in the suburbs of the Egyptian capital Cairo. The pyramid is said to belong to the Ancient Egyptian King Khufu.
Preliminary research using a ground-penetrating radar captured images that appeared to be remains of an ancient structure, giving researchers hope that the excavation will lead to a new discovery.
The team is led by Sakuji Yoshimura, 80, Japan’s prominent Egyptian archaeologist and the president of Higashi Nippon International University in the city of Iwaki, Fukushima Prefecture.
