Egypt
Not so breaking now as I was supposed to post this two days ago but I fell asleep instead!
The chamber found in the so-called Khufu pyramid is so large it reminds one of the Grand Gallery, which brings all kinds of thoughts and possibilities. I do not agree with the idea that this was made for weight distribution due to the size of it. I know little about building engineering but enough to know a chamber designed for weight distribution is never going to be this size. However, the idea that this is a secondary chamber designed to protect the Grand Gallery is highly plausible, but if that was the case it was probably only of use during construction – once the pyramid was finished the chamber was no longer of any use as the structure would hold its own. In other words, this was designed in case of any collapse above – material would fall into this chamber and keep the King’s chamber below in tact. On the contrary there may be nothing important to note about this chamber – perhaps it’s simply a space without a purpose, but knowing the Egyptians and their incredible engineering capabilities and knowledge this seems extremely unlikely. The fact that the dimensions are strikingly similar to the Grand Gallery could lead us towards the idea that this is a secondary gallery leading further into the pyramid… but it is worth getting so excited at this stage?
Either way, I hope sooner or later someone will be able to send a camera in to take a look.
