All about car tuning

The secret of the construction of the pyramid of Cheops is revealed. Scientists have discovered a secret room inside the pyramid of Cheops‍ What tourists should know

The world is on the verge of a great archaeological discovery. Not so long ago, researchers of the Egyptian pyramids discovered new secret rooms in the tomb of Pharaoh Cheops. With the help of the Explorer robot, they tried to get inside through the narrow tunnels of the 4500-year-old structure, but they did not succeed.

Then the joint development of British, French and Canadian scientists came to the rescue - a robot called Dzhedi. The name of the device was not accidental. Djedi was the name of the magician who served Pharaoh Cheops. It would seem that no magic, only technology. However, this time the attempt was successful and the robot managed to successfully overcome the mysterious southern tunnel, which goes out of the burial crypt of the queen into one of the newly discovered faces of the pyramid.

The "magic" robot managed to safely get through the tunnel and even looked behind the "secret door" behind which the recently opened chamber is hiding. What the video cameras showed on the robot excited the whole world

In a secret chamber, the robot found strange maroon hieroglyphs dating back to 2500 BC.

It is noteworthy that the tunnels (southern and northern), passing at an angle of 90 degrees from the crypt of the queen, were found by researchers at the end of the 19th century. They were discovered by engineer Wayman Dixon from Britain. Twenty years ago, the German Egyptologist Rudolf Gantenbrink launched the first robotic expedition through the northern tunnel, but the robot was unable to reach the target. Having stumbled upon a very sharp turn, he crashed. The next expedition of another robot along the southern tunnel was also unsuccessful.

Having traveled 63 meters in the south direction of the Cheops pyramid, he stumbled upon an outlandish door with brass handles.

No one knew what was hidden behind the mysterious door. Lovers of mystical theories and anomalous chronicles fueled interest. Fans of Cheops assumed that a secret vault was hidden behind the door, in which knowledge and books from the lost Atlantis, alien devices or other "magic" artifacts were accumulated.

What can I say, even the brass handles themselves were very intriguing. Until that time, no one had found a single metal object in the pyramids. A lot of crazy and bold hypotheses arose that these handles are elements of an electrical system that was left by aliens and is capable of teleporting the pyramid to another planet.

Ten years ago, a Royer Pyramide caterpillar robot, manufactured by the American company iRobot, rolled up to the secret door. He managed to drill a hole in a monolithic door and stick a miniature television camera inside the mysterious chamber.

The cell was empty inside. Millions of people, holding their breath, saw another door in the distance...

And the other day, almost ten years later, tireless seekers of ancient artifacts are making a new attempt. The researchers again sent a robot to the first "secret door". Rumor has it that last time they still managed to see something suspicious and now they were collecting more complete information. Jedi the Robot Mage essentially copies its predecessor, but with a much more upgraded camera. A special device is controlled by a rod and resembles an endoscope that shoots in good quality. With the help of new technologies, it was possible to see the first "secret chamber" in great detail.

For the first time, scientists looked at the "secret door" from the back. The surface of the doors is very carefully processed, being perfectly smooth and polished. Brass rods pierce through the door and are crowned with small loops.

Robot Jedi has confirmed that there is a second hidden behind the first secret chamber. Scientists think that Pharaoh Cheops in a sarcaphagus can be buried in it. And the empty sarcophagus found before that, which is known today, was made on purpose as a distraction.

So far, the most important find is the maroon hieroglyphs depicted on the floor of the "first secret room". Egyptologists have already begun to decipher them, and the results will be ready one of these days.

In the meantime, researchers and interested people have to be perplexed. There were suggestions that the tunnels were made for ventilation. But the question arises - what is the door for? And besides, so carefully crafted and with elegant brass handles? The tunnels are made in the form of a perfectly even square 20x20 cm. A person cannot climb through them. Is it a cat? But why do cats need brass handles?

Adds mysticism to the spatial arrangement of the southern tunnel. It is oriented strictly to the constellation of Orion and the star Sirius.

Many scientists come to the conclusion that the souls of the pharaoh should have traveled through the tunnels and fly out into the Universe. But are there doors and plugs? It will obviously interfere with "traveling ..."

Researchers do not despair and continue to work scrupulously. According to their plans, the final report will be ready in 2012. Will they open Pandora's box by the fateful date?

How much our civilization goes around and around the Egyptian pyramids, and if the number of mysteries decreases, then very slowly. Somehow we even argued with you, and not, then we tried to find out and in general

And right these days in Egypt, a large-scale project is underway to study the pyramids. An international group of scientists managed to make a discovery that puts an end to the dispute over the construction methods of the Cheops pyramid.

History of study Great Pyramid Giza, or the pyramids of Cheops (Khufu) began in the 18th century, when Napoleon brought here archaeologists, surveyors and other scientists. Research continues to this day, but this monument of architectural art of Ancient Egypt has not yet revealed all its secrets. In particular, it is not known exactly when its construction began: the radiocarbon method gives a range from 2680 BC to 2680 BC. e. until 2850 BC e. Another mystery was the methods of transporting the heaviest blocks over long distances.

Different construction techniques were used for different Egyptian pyramids. Earlier, in one of the necropolises, a fresco from the XII dynasty was discovered, which depicts 172 people pulling an alabaster statue of Jehutihotep II on drag sledges. The worker pours water on the sand along the route, which makes sliding easier.

Some pyramids were built by rolling blocks using a cradle mechanism: similar devices have been found in excavations at various New Kingdom sanctuaries. In addition, the so-called "square wheel technology" was used in some places: a block of square section rolls along a road created from platforms.

In 1997, archaeologist Mark Lehner conducted an experimental construction of a small pyramid with a base about nine meters wide and 6.1 meters high. Blocks weighing about two tons were moved by 12-20 people, provided that wooden skids were used, sliding on a wooden deck.

But all the experiments and hypotheses did not answer the question of the delivery of 2.5-ton blocks of limestone and granite to the site where the Cheops pyramid was being built. The answer was found only in 2017: an international team of archaeologists led by Lehner discovered a papyrus in which an overseer of 40 workers describes this method.

The decoding of the text gave the following knowledge: first, the Egyptians diverted water from the Nile and laid artificial channels through the Giza plateau. Then the builders connected the wooden boats with ropes, and with their help they transported the blocks almost to the very foot of the pyramid.

But another mystery was revealed at the pyramid of Cheops. Infrared thermography showed the presence of inexplicable voids at the base of the Great Pyramid.

Scientists at different times of the day measured the temperature of the stones from which the pyramid was built. The stones warmed up and cooled down at different rates, which indicates the presence of third-party factors. In general, the temperature difference between neighboring stones did not exceed 0.1–0.5°C, but in some areas this parameter reached 6°C. The most noticeable temperature anomaly was found on the eastern side of the Cheops pyramid, at ground level.

It can be assumed that there is an underground passage or other empty space. It is also possible that this part of the pyramid was built from a different material. The eastern location of the voids may be associated with the cult of Ra, the sun god. Meanwhile, areas with different temperatures were also found in the upper part of the pyramid - where there can be no talk of dungeons. Representatives of the Ministry of Antiquities refused to voice any hypotheses until more material was collected.

sources


For two hundred years, scientists have been studying the pyramid of Cheops. During this time, they used different methods of analysis, launched special robots into the middle of the pyramid, and carried out a wide variety of measurements. It seemed that for such a period of time the pyramid should have already revealed all its secrets, but the next discovery shocked even worldly-wise researchers.

Mysteries of the pyramid of Cheops


One of the seven wonders of the world has been the subject of study for more than 200 years. At the same time, the next study reveals a new secret and leads to the emergence of more and more new questions.

The exact date of the construction of the pyramid is unknown, since the radiocarbon method used in the study of the age of the pyramid allows us to assume only an approximate date: from 2680 BC. e. until 2850 BC e. The initiator of the construction was Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops), and the pyramid itself for a long time was the tallest building in the world. However, even today its dimensions remain very impressive, especially considering the time in which construction was carried out. In fact, all work was carried out manually or using simple mechanisms.


In 2017, a papyrus was discovered describing a method for transporting huge blocks. In order to deliver them to the foot of the pyramid, the Egyptians had to divert water from the Nile by laying artificial channels through the Giza plateau. It was along them that the blocks were transported to the construction site on wooden boats connected by ropes.


The pyramid of Cheops is the only one where there are corridors leading both up and down. The main one first descends, then diverges into two more, one of which descends, and the second one leads up to the Grand Gallery. Already through the gallery you can go to the Queen's Room and directly to the tomb itself. The tunnel leading down is the passage to the unfinished burial chamber. The fact that the tomb intended for the burial of the pharaoh turned out to be actually empty remains a mystery.


Already in the 21st century, pyramid researchers discovered voids in mysterious structures. It turned out that in addition to the three main chambers located inside the pyramids, there are additional rooms.
They tried to explore them by various methods, including with the help of robots, but the purpose of the fourth room discovered by scientists is still unknown.


It is noteworthy that in the walls of the main corridor, through which you can get to the Main Tomb, there are rather unusual channels. Researchers are inclined to believe that these channels are elements of some kind of large security system that serves to protect the pharaoh from marauders and defilers.

New discoveries


One of the three chambers believed to be a burial chamber is actually a mysterious trap designed to protect the pyramid from marauders. However, even the corridor leading to the Main Tomb can be deadly.


Pyramid researchers still do not leave attempts to unravel all the secrets of the amazing structure. Recently, scientists have begun to use special muon scanners to detect yet undiscovered chambers inside the pyramid. In parallel, the resonating properties of waves were studied. It was assumed that the pyramid could be a giant resonator capable of focusing and amplifying waves.


Physicists used a computer model of the pyramid, subjecting it to a powerful attack of radio waves. The results of this experiment were very impressive. It turned out that the pyramid actually has the ability to accumulate waves, interacting with them.
Initially, there is an accumulation of energy inside the Royal Chamber. Then a powerful stream is sent down, in fact, into a deceptive chamber, which is located at the very bottom, in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe foundation. At the same time, the greatest effect was obtained when using waves of 333 and 230 meters.
The researchers intend to continue their experiments, now using other types of waves. They have no doubt that the results in this case will be positive.


The value of this study lies in the fact that this property of the Cheops pyramid, as well as other Egyptian pyramids, can be successfully used in the modern world not only to create radio waves, but also for special nanoparticles that can focus light.


If this assumption turns out to be correct, then this property will be the first step towards the creation of completely new gadgets, which previously could only be read in science fiction books. It is assumed that this may lead to the creation, among other things, of a light computer, which will be radically different from its predecessors.

True, these assumptions have yet to be tested by conducting more than a dozen experiments. Scientists believe that the results of new studies may be quite unexpected.

Ancient Egypt has been haunting the minds of scientists and laymen ever since the Great Sphinx was first cleared of sand. And although the land of the pharaohs keeps many more secrets under its sands.

The Great Pyramid of Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops) has not yet been fully explored and keeps its secrets tightly. Each subsequent expedition trying to explore the pyramid encounters unknown obstacles. They discover a previously unknown door - they find another behind it ....

In 1993, the secret door was discovered by German engineer Rudolf Gantenbrink, who was exploring the pyramid with miniature robots. Gantenbrink launched the robot, which he called "Utauaut-2", into the ventilation duct on the northern edge of the Queen's Chamber. Equipped with powerful lamps and a TV camera, the robot ran into a wooden pole blocking the passage. After repeated attempts, during which the robot improved and upgraded, he managed to penetrate the barrier, and he reached a block that looked like a door. An image of a block appeared on the monitor screen, similar to a door equipped with metal handles. A crack was visible under the lower western corner of the "door". The navigation laser beam aimed at her disappeared inside.

Here is what Gantenbrink said about the results of the study: “Inside the passage, furrows 4 mm deep were found. Utuaut 2 took a picture of them before walking over them, so they are not footprints of the robot itself or anything similar. It is possible that we will meet similar furrows on a good part of the inner blocks of the pyramid, and this will indicate to us how the Egyptians managed to achieve such a perfect system of connecting rock blocks. This technique must involve the use of a bronze saw to cut through the slots in these rocks. While examining the rock that blocks the passage at the end of the channel, we found small triangular cuts on its upper and lower right corners. Similar notches are characteristic of the stones used for the construction of doors in other designs of the Egyptians. The one in the lower right corner has a size of 5 mm, in the upper - 3 mm. At the bottom of the block there is a small mark running parallel to the door, 0.4mm wide. During the construction of the canal, this block had to remain suspended in the cavity above the place it now occupies. The marks made in bronze on the front were used as stoppers to prevent the door from rising again.”

On September 17, 2002, with the help of another robot called Upuat II, Gantenbrink managed to get even further inside the structure. The robot managed to drill a hole in the previously found door. The thickness of the door turned out to be about 7 centimeters, and behind it, at a distance of 40 centimeters, another door was visible.

The most interesting thing began a few days later. The robot was launched into another, northern mine. And they found exactly the same “door” in it, with exactly the same “handles”.

The French architect Jean-Pierre Houdin suggests that there are two secret rooms in the pyramid of Cheops, the existence of which is still unknown to anyone. His guess is based on 3D modeling. What can be in them and for what reason the ancient Egyptians hid them from their descendants remains a mystery. According to Jean-Pierre Houdin, there are similar rooms in the Snefru pyramid, where the father of Cheops is buried.

Currently, the Djedi robot has been developed to further study the pyramids. It is equipped with a video camera on a flexible arm, a compass, an inclinometer for determining the direction and angle of the corridors, and an ultrasonic device for determining the thickness of the masonry. On board is a tiny assistant - an autonomous robot that is able to penetrate a hole with a diameter of only 20 millimeters. The robot also has a miniature drill that can be used to drill through a second door without causing serious damage.

Like the very purpose of the pyramids, the methods of their construction are still a mystery to us, but it is gradually becoming clear that the pyramids are not just the tombs of the pharaohs.

Researcher Robert Bauvel drew attention to the fact that the location of the three stars of Orion's belt is similar to the location of the pyramids of Giza. Moreover, the brightness of the stars corresponds to the size of the pyramids, and the position of the constellation Orion in relation to the Milky Way corresponds to the position of the pyramid complex and the Nile. When overlaying a map of Egypt on a map of the starry sky, several other groups of pyramids were also aligned with the stars.

There are many details in the constructions of the pyramids, the purpose of which is still not clear: granite lintels, grooves in the walls, height differences in the galleries.

To date, the door, found in 2002 by Gantenbrink, is the most intriguing mystery of the Cheops pyramid. Various assumptions are being made, from quite real to the most fantastic. Some suggest that there is the tomb of the mother of Cheops with countless treasures stored. Others are a hangar in which the aliens left the equipment used in the construction of the pyramids….

Secrets are overcome by knowledge. Knowledge can be acquired or created.

Every creation of human hands has a meaning. “... Everything that arises must have some reason for its occurrence, for it is absolutely impossible to arise without a reason.” (4th century BC, Plato, "Timaeus").

What does it mean that one of the "Seven Wonders of the World" the pyramid of Cheops is a kind of "Russian matryoshka" containing two more pyramids inside, one inside the other?

Let's think, understand the facts and on this basis create new knowledge.

As a "tool for creation" let's take our common sense, the logic of thinking and the knowledge of people who used ideas about the world at that distant time.

So, let's start with the facts.

First, there are three burial chambers in the pyramid. - Three! Nobody
from living people it does not occur to me to prepare a tomb for myself in three "copies". In addition, as can be seen from the size of the pyramids, it was a very troublesome and time-consuming business. Egyptian archaeologists found that the pharaohs built separate pyramids of a much smaller size for their wives and “family” in the burials of the pharaohs was not established. From this it follows that the pyramid at different times had three owners (three pharaohs) and therefore each in the pyramid had its own burial chamber.

To confirm this conclusion, consider the pyramid in the context (what is).

Egyptian historians have established that long before the construction of the pyramids in ancient Egypt in the 4th millennium BC. and even earlier pharaohs were buried in deep underground halls- "Mastabah", where the mummy was located. In the ground part, at the top above the hall, a low, flat, truncated pyramid was built, in the interior of which there was a prayer room with a statue, into which, after death (according to faith), the soul of the pharaoh moved. The halls of the premises could be isolated from each other.


Looking at the section plan, we can say that the upper prayer room of the first mastaba (no more than 15 meters high) that has not been found today is located in the center of the pyramid, just below the middle burial chamber (7). If, of course, by the beginning of the time of construction by the second pharaoh of his pyramid over the mastaba, the latter was not destroyed (plundered) or crushed, and survived.

A narrow inclined-vertical shaft (12) for raising the soul from the underground burial pit (5) should have risen to the above-ground prayer room of the mastaba. At the exit of the mine to the surface level of the plateau under the base of the pyramid there is a small grotto (expansion up to 5 meters), the walls of which are partially reinforced with more ancient masonry that does not belong to the pyramid. This ancient masonry is nothing more than an accessory to the first mastaba. From the grotto (12) to the center of the pyramid there should be a continuation into the mastaba, which is closed or was later filled up.

According to archaeologists, the underground burial "pit" (5) for some reason remained unfinished. Perhaps for the same reason, the upper above-ground part of the mastaba with a prayer room was not completed (the latter remains to be seen). The unfinished construction of the burial structure, located in the most advantageous place, on the top of the stone plateau, served (to the pharaoh preceding Cheops) as a pretext and moral basis, to take the mastaba as the basis for building his pyramid over it.

The fact that the age of the Sphinx is estimated to be much older than the pyramids (about 5-10 thousand years) speaks in favor of the fact that the plateau in Giza was previously "settled" by ancient mastabas.

By the beginning of the III millennium BC. in Egypt, burials in mastabas were replaced by more majestic structures - the pyramids. The Egyptians also had another later worldview about the place of residence of the soul after death. - "The one who lives the time measured out to him properly will return to the abode of the star of his name." (Plato, Timaeus).


The burial chamber (7) belonging to the second inner pyramid (according to the plan of the cross section) is presumably located above the prayer part of the first mastaba. The corridor ascending to the chamber (6) is laid along the wall, and the horizontal one (8) along the roof of the mastaba. Thus, one can “see” the approximate boundaries of the first ancient inner truncated mastaba pyramid.

The second inner pyramid is ten meters on each side smaller than the current outer third pyramid of Cheops. This can be judged by the length of the two outgoing from the chamber (7), the so-called ventilation ducts (20 by 25 cm in cross section), which, by about ten meters (according to the pyramid drawing), do not reach the plane of the current outer walls. Of course, these are not ventilation ducts, which the deceased pharaoh did not need. This is a path directed to the sky, oriented with great accuracy (up to a degree) to those stars where, according to the ideas of the ancient Egyptians, the soul of the pharaoh will settle after death. When the second pyramid was being built, the channels from the burial room (7) reached the edges of the outer walls and were open to the sky.

The second burial chamber of the pharaoh may also have been unfinished (judging by the lack of interior decoration). This suggests that the entire pyramid was not completed to the end (for example, there was a war, the pharaoh was killed or died of illness, an accident, etc.). But, in any case, by that time the pyramid had been erected no lower than the height of the walls along the border of the upper part of the "air ducts" (7) emanating from the burial chamber.

The second inner pyramid reveals itself not only as “deaf air ducts” and a separate burial chamber, but also with its central entrance (1). It is noticeable that the entrance, approximately the same 10 meters, turned out to be buried inside the outer wall of the third pyramid. This entrance, built before Cheops, was not brought to the border of the outer wall, and therefore, due to the increase in the outer wall, it ended up in a recess. (Entrance gates are always several outside the buildings, and not deep in the body of the structure).

The next in a row, the third owner of the pyramid was the pharaoh - Cheops (Khufu).

Archaeologists and historians, according to the decoding of hieroglyphs, found that the pyramid of Cheops was built not by slaves (as was previously thought), but by civilian builders, who, of course, had to be well paid for hard work. And since the volume of construction was huge, it was more profitable for the pharaoh to take an unfinished pyramid than to build it from scratch. Again, the most advantageous location on the top of the plateau - "bribed" to use the "underdone".


The construction of the third pyramid began with the dismantling of the central part of the unfinished second. The blocks raised from the center went to expand the rows of the third pyramid along the perimeter. In the resulting depth, at a height of about 40 meters from the ground, they placed the antechamber (11) and the third burial chamber of the pharaoh (10). The passage to the third chamber only needed to be extended. The ascending tunnel (6) was continued in the form of a large 8-meter high gallery (9). Therefore (and not only because of this), the passage (6) and the high gallery (9), having the same direction, differ from each other.

After the third pyramid was expanded “at the hips”, about 10 meters were added on each side, then the old outgoing channels for the “departure of the soul” from the chamber (7) turned out to be closed. If the burial chamber (7) did not imply burial, then the subsequent builders had no reason to continue the canals. They were simply walled up with external wall blocks.

In September 2002, researchers launched a caterpillar robot into one of the narrow "air ducts". Having risen to the end, he rested against a limestone slab 13 cm thick, drilled through it, on the other side of the slab at a distance of 18 cm, the robot saw another stone barrier. These are the blocks of the wall of the third outer pyramid.

During the construction of the third burial chamber of Pharaoh Cheops, new channels (10) were laid to it for the “flight of the soul” to the stars. If you look closely at the section of the pyramid, then the channels of the second and third chambers are almost parallel (at one time they were aimed at the same stars). Almost parallel, but not quite! The upper two channels, relative to the lower (closed), are, as it were, turned clockwise by 3-5 degrees. This is not an accident. Egyptian builders very meticulously recorded the position of the stars and the direction to them. Then what's the matter?

The axis of rotation of the Earth every 72 years is shifted by 1 degree, and every 25920 years, the axis of the Earth, rotating like a "spinning top", makes a full circle. This phenomenon is called precession. (The ancient Egyptian priests knew the declination of the axis and the swaying of the Earth around the poles. Plato, on the other hand, called the time of rotation of the Earth's axis at 26 thousand years - "The Great Year").

When the earth's axis shifts by one degree in 72 years, the angle of view towards the required star also changes by 1 degree (including the angle to the Sun). If the displacement of pairs of channels differs by approximately 3-5 degrees, then we can say that the difference between the unfinished construction of the second pyramid and the time of construction of the third pyramid of Pharaoh Cheops (Khufu) is 216-360 years.


Egyptian historians say that Pharaoh Khufu ruled from 2540-2560 BC. Counting "degree" years ago, we can say when the second inner pyramid was built.

In the entire pyramid of Cheops, in the only place under the ceiling, on powerful vaulted granite slabs like a roof above the third burial chamber, there is a hieroglyph made by workers - “Builders, friends of Pharaoh Khufu”. No other mention of the names and belongings of the pharaohs to the pyramid has yet been found.

Most likely, the pyramid of Cheops was completed and used for its intended purpose. Otherwise, the entrance (1) would not have been closed with granite slabs, and a plug of several granite cubes would not have been lowered down the inclined plane into the ascending passage (6). Thus, the pyramid was tightly closed for everyone for three thousand years (until 820 AD).

The ancient Egyptian name of the pyramid of Cheops is read by hieroglyphs - "Horizon of Khufu". The name is literal. The angle of inclination of the side face of the pyramid is 51° 50′. - This is the angle at which the Sun rose exactly at noon on the days of autumn - the vernal equinox. The sun at noon, like a "crown" crowned the pyramid. Throughout the year, the Sun (the ancient Egyptian God - Ra) walks across the sky in the summer above, in the winter below (just like the pharaoh in his possessions) and always the Sun (pharaoh) returns to his "home". Therefore, the angle of inclination of the walls of the pyramid indicates the house of the "God - the Sun" and the horizon of the "house - pyramid" of Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops) - "the son of the God of the Sun."

The sides of the walls at an angle to the Sun are not only in this pyramid. In the pyramid of Khafre, the angle of inclination of the face is slightly higher than 52-53 degrees (it is established that it was built later).

In the pyramid of Menkaure, the slope of the faces is 51°20?25?. Historians do not know for sure whether it was built before the pyramid of Cheops or later. But, given the less steep angle of the walls (if the builders were not mistaken), we can conclude that it was built earlier. In relation to the "degree age scale", a slope difference of 30 minutes corresponds to - 36 years. Later Egyptian pyramids have a higher slope of faces.

There are also many pyramids in Sudan, the angle of which is much steeper. Sudan is much to the south of Egypt and the Sun on the day of spring - the autumn equinox is much higher above the horizon there. This explains the steepness of the walls of the Sudanese pyramids.

In 820 AD the Baghdad caliph Abu Jafar al-Mamun, in search of the innumerable treasures of the pharaoh at the base of the Cheops pyramid, made a horizontal gap (2) (which is still used to enter the pyramid to this day). The passage was broken through to the beginning of the ascending corridor (6), where they ran into granite cubes, which went around to the right and thus penetrated the pyramid. But, according to historians, they did not find anything but “dust half an cubit” inside. If what was valuable in the pyramid, then the servants of the caliph took it, and what was left, then everything was taken out over the next 1200 years.

It seems that 28 pairs of ritual statues stood in rectangular recesses along the walls of the gallery (9) (the exact purpose of the recesses is not known now). But the fact that there were tall statues is evidenced by two facts - the eight-meter height of the gallery (why would the height be needed), as well as large round peeling prints on the walls of the gallery from the remnants of the mortar with which the tilted statues were fastened and leveled (see the photo of the gallery in Wikipedia).

Disappoint those who are mystically minded, find miracles in the pyramids

More than a hundred pyramids have been discovered in Egypt to date, and they are all different from each other. There are different angles of inclination of the faces, there is a pyramid with a “broken side” at a double angle, there are stone and brick pyramids, lined and stepped, even at the base of a rectangular shape (the pyramid of Pharaoh Djoser). If there were some secret law, secret knowledge, and not a “motley” opinion, then uniformity would be observed in all the pyramids. “But he isn't. Even among the three pyramids at Giza, there is no unity. The smaller of the three pyramids of Menkaure at the base is not oriented strictly to the cardinal points. That is, the orientation of the sides does not matter. In the main pyramid of Cheops, the third (upper) burial chamber is located not in the geometric center of the pyramid and not even on the axis of the pyramid. In the pyramids of Khafre and Mykerin, the burial chambers are also not in the center.


Egyptian Minister of Archeology and current chief expert on ancient pyramids, Zahi Hawass, says: “Like any practitioner, I decided to test the assertion that food does not spoil in the pyramid. Divided a kilo of meat in half. I left one part in the office, and the other in the pyramid of Cheops. The part in the pyramid deteriorated even faster than in the office.”

What else can archaeologists do today in the pyramid of Cheops? - Perhaps, try to find an above-ground prayer room from the first mastaba, for which it would be possible to drill down (vertically or obliquely in the edges and corners) several holes in the floor of the second (7) burial chamber, until an internal cavity is found below.

In case of failure (if the rooms of the room are away from drilling), then from the grotto (12) find a blocked passage or dig the passage again. For the pyramid, this will not have any damage, since there was originally a connecting entrance from the burial pit to the above-ground mastaba. He must be searched for.

Of much greater interest in Egyptian Giza is the closed Sphinx.

The stone body of the ancient Sphinx, located from west to east. Burial chambers and burials were also made from west to east. It can be assumed that the Sphinx is an integral part of the elevated structure above the ancient mastaba of an unknown pharaoh. Searches in this direction would expand the boundaries of knowledge of the history of ancient Egypt or an even earlier civilization, for example, the Atlanteans, whose representatives the Egyptians deified and attributed to their ancient predecessor gods.

An identification study by American forensics concluded that the face of the Sphinx does not look like the faces of the statues of the Egyptian pharaohs, but has Negroid features.

It is possible that the burial chamber with the mummy of an ancient pharaoh of Negro origin is located under the front paws of the Sphinx. In this case, there must be a passage upward from the chamber for the resettlement of the "soul" of the pharaoh, for subsequent life in the body of the Sphinx (according to the beliefs of the ancient Egyptians).

The Sphinx is a lion (a symbol of royal power) with a human head and the face of a pharaoh. Presumably, the face of the pharaoh (after the plastic restoration of the mummy's skull) will be similar to the face of the Sphinx.

The veil over the secret pyramid of Cheops and the Sphinx has been lifted, now you need to “enter”.

“What is comprehended with the help of reflection and reasoning is obvious, and there is an eternally identical being; but what is subject to opinion ... arises and perishes, but never really exists. (Plato, Timaeus).

In the entire pyramid of Cheops, in the only place under the ceiling, on powerful vaulted granite slabs like a roof above the third burial chamber, there is a hieroglyph made by workers - “Builders, friends of Pharaoh Khufu”. No other mention of the names and belongings of the pharaohs to the pyramid has yet been found. According to archaeologists, the underground burial "pit" (5) for some reason remained unfinished. Perhaps for the same reason, the upper above-ground part of the mastaba with a prayer room was not completed (the latter remains to be seen). The unfinished construction of the burial structure, located in the most advantageous place, on the top of the stone plateau, served (to the pharaoh preceding Cheops) as a pretext and moral basis, to take the mastaba as the basis for building his pyramid over it.
