"The discovery of a once-hidden, sealed-off corridor inside of one of Egypt's Pyramids of Giza was revealed to the public on Thursday, a development that could spark future findings inside one of the ancient Seven Wonders of the World.
The corridor, which measures nearly 30 feet long and over 6 feet wide, is located in the 4,500-year-old Pyramid of Khufu's north side, near its main entrance, Egyptian authorities said.
The Pyramid of Khufu, also called the Great Pyramid of Giza, is named for its builder, a 4th Dynasty pharaoh. The pyramid, which is located about 11 miles from Cairo's center, is the largest of three pyramids in the Giza complex. It was completed around 2560 BCE, according to Encyclopaedia Britannica.

I suggested 360.89 while 30 feet is 360 inches.
From another site " It appeared to be about the size of the Grand Gallery, roughly 30 meters long, and was located about 15 to 17 meters above the ground's surface.
16 meters is only 30.5 cubits and I don't think that is even close to being correct
So it seems that 17.5 cubits may be correct for the length .
it is listed by 6 feet by 6 feet but doesn't look square to me.Here is my idea. Size may 6 feet by 12 feet ( 1 by 2 )
Here's another site that gives the height at ...
"What's more, the teams involved in the project believe the void is around 68 feet above the ground level. What the newly discovered chamber was ...
68 feet is 816 inches = 39.57 cubits BUT THAT MAY BE TO THE BOTTOM. I had suggested 44 cubits to the top so that would give the "chamber's" height at 44 -39.7 or 4.3 and I had guessed at 4.141 (7.11 ft )
So I seem to be at least playing in the right ballpark.
and lastly ...
