The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the Seven Wonders Of The World for a pretty obvious reason - basically because it was made bloody yonks ago and just look at it.

It was made at a time when builders didn't have a single Black and Decker in sight, making it a total feat in architecture.

But there's something else that's interesting about the giant 481ft structure - and that's because it's apparently got some hidden chambers that it can focus electric and magnetic energy through.

According to the Daily Mail, scientists have discovered that the pyramid is able to concentrate the energy through its internal chambers and below its base, in turn creating pockets of higher energy.

If this effect were to be recreated on a nanoscale size, the researchers from ITMO University believe that it could lead to new, more efficient sensors and solar cells.

"Egyptian pyramids have always attracted great attention," said Dr Andrey Evlyukhin, who is scientific supervisor and coordinator of the research.

"We as scientists were interested in them as well, so we decided to look at the Great Pyramid as a particle dissipating radio waves resonantly."

The team of scientists modelled the distrubution of electromagnetic fields in the pyramid, looking at how waves ranging from 200m to 600m interacted.

However, there is a lack of reliable information about the pyramid's properties, meaning that they had to do a bit of guesswork to fill in some blanks.

"We had to use some assumptions," Evlyukhin continued.

"For example, we assumed that there are no unknown cavities inside, and the building material with the properties of an ordinary limestone is evenly distributed in and out of the pyramid.

"With these assumptions made, we obtained interesting results that can find important practical applications."

The scientists reckon that they found proof that the pyramid concentrates electromagnetic energy in its hidden chambers - including the one believed to contain the remains of Pharaoh Khufu and another made for his wife.

According to the researchers, the way electromagnetic energy distributes in the pyramid could also pave the way for an efficient nanoparticle designs.

Polina Kapitainova PHD, who is a member of the Faculty of Physics and Technology of ITMO University, added: "Choosing a material with suitable electromagnetic properties, we can obtain pyramidal nanoparticles with a promise for practical application in nanosensors and effective solar cells."
