Egyptian pyramids found by infra-red satellite images

Egyptian pyramids found by infra-red satellite images

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-13522957

More than 1,000 tombs and 3,000 ancient settlements were also revealed by looking at infra-red images which show up underground buildings.

Amazing - 700 K's and down to one meter.
