All About The Secret Chambers Of The Great Pyramid
The great pyramid of Giza is one of the seven wonders of the world that still exists until today. The Pharaoh who made this great structure was of course the great Khufu who was known for creating pyramids. The interior of this place is splendid and is indeed very complex in terms of design. It was so complex that there are actually a few secret chambers of the great pyramid that were found.
Now many people did not know that there were even secret chambers before engineer Wayman Dixon discovered some of them in the year 1872. He and his assistant had ventured to the north and south shafts of the Queens chamber and felt a draft there. By digging the shafts out, they were able to find two very important relics.
So basically, Dixon first dug up the southern shaft because he felt a chill and eventually found a metal hook that was found there underneath all the rubble. With this, he also tried digging up the northern shaft in which he was able to find a granite ball and also a cedar like wood piece. Of course they took back these relics to England and these relics were named the Dixon relics which eventually disappeared when they were both returned to mister Dixon.
Now it was because of this that another expedition was made in the year 1993. In the second expedition, they were then able to find two tunnels which were found in the northern and southern walls of this same chamber. The only problem here was that the tunnels were eventually blocked by some stone blocks that had to be drilled.
When a robot was created to be able to drill those stone blocks, the archaeologists just found an empty space that was still blocked off by another huge block which made them unable to proceed further. Eventually, another robot was created in order to investigate the area. This robot had a micro snake camera that could check for all the small details of this room as well as if there were any writings that could be found on the walls.
Of course the archaeologists used the camera to survey the room and made a few discoveries. One thing that they found was that there were actually some hieroglyphs that were found on the walls. There were even some stone carvings that could be found there on the stone blocks that were stuck at the corners of the room.
According to most Egyptologists, these writings were actually symbolical writings that would tell as to why the shafts are there. There are actually some speculations that the writings are related to the sun. Of course many also disagree with this as they believe that the writings are related to the stars.
Now these chambers are still there until today but nobody knows why. The reason as to why they are still there is a mystery to everyone who studies Egyptian culture. The answer would probably lie in those hieroglyphs that were written.
