How cool is this?

An eccentric Hong Kong dentist will use his skills and tools, many of which he has invented, to explore ancient Egyptian wall cavities and fill in the gaps around the mysteries of the pharaohs.

Ng Tze-chuen, a 59-year-old dentist, is teaming up with Egypt's former antiquities minister Zahi Hawass in a bid to delve deep into the last surviving wonder of the ancient world - the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Tze-chuen has created a tiny robot, the size of an insect, with dental forcep-inspired grips on the top.

This little device will travel between the cracks on two mysterious doors blocking the entrance to two narrow shafts believed to lead to Pharaoh Cheops's tomb.

Archaeologists have been scratching their heads about the doors and shafts since their discovery in72.Archaeologists have been scratching their heads about the doors and shafts since their discovery in 1872.
