In 1970 L. \; Alvarez et al. reported on the first experiment to use cosmic-ray muons to inves tigate the interior of a very large structure. That structure was Khafre 39\;s Pyramid at Giza. \; In 2017\, the Scan Pyramids team reported on the discovery of a new large void in the Great Pyramid (Khufu). \; Al though they used modern equipment\, their system was not much larger than the one used by Alvarez'\;s team. In order for the technique of cosmic- ray muon tomography to be able to answer detailed questions regarding the core structure of these enormous creations\, a new approach must be taken.  \; The Exploring the Great Pyramid (EGP) Mission will use detector te chnology currently deployed in high-energy physics experiments to field ve ry large muon telescopes outside of the Great Pyramid. \; This will al low for a high-resolution study of almost all of its internal structure. I t will go beyond simply looking for voids\, but will potentially yield new information on the building techniques used to construct the Great Pyrami d. \; In this talk\, I will review previous experiments\, describe in detail the techniques the EGP Mission proposes to use and present prelimin ary simulation results.
