What is the physical limitation that prevents a very big metal detector from telling us if there’s gold or other signatures?


This is a good question and there is a real practical answer. The tomb is not in a Pyramid but deep in a mountain reachable by a narrow stairway. You'd have to cut away or dig through the mountain to come close enough for a metal detector.


Or just stand on the other side of the wall?


I genuinely wish there was a magical way to just disassemble the whole pyramid and put it back together without any damage.


There is no pyramid, he is buried in a mountain.


Thanks


The balancing act between Egyptian tourism mystery golden goose eggs, and just cutting the pyramid in half.
