  I just read this. It may have been posted before and I just missed it. Does 
anyone have more information about how it's going or what's been discovered?
   

I don't know what has been done but I do know that the cave under the Pyramid 
of the Sun was not sealed up.  I was lucky enough to visit the cave a few years 
ago when I was doing some cave archaeology work in Puebla.  The entrance to the 
cave was gated and a metal staircase was installed soon after it was 
discovered.  The entrance is located at the base of the main stairway up the 
pyramid.  It has a metal plate for a gate.  When I was there, the guards came 
over and unlocked the gate so we could enter.  The manmade cave is just under 
100 m long and varies in height from about 1.5 to over 2 m with a similar 
width.  The passage changes shape with what were likely various construction 
phases of the pyramid.  An interesting observation that I made in the cave is 
that the passage does not run straight but rather has a series of shallow 
curves.  The shallow curves make it impossible to see far ahead or far behind 
giving the impression that the passage is much longer.  The cave ends under the 
center of the pyramid and has several small chambers.
