Purifying the Great Pyramid

A new air-purification system has been installed inside the Great Pyramid of Khufu to stabilise humidity levels within the monument and prevent the erosion of the inner walls. The improved air quality will also provide a more comfortable environment for visitors to the pyramid. There are now plans to install similar systems in the Pyramids of Khafra and Menkaura.
