What's Below the Floor of the Great Pyramid King's Chamber? | Ancient Architects
Many of us have seen pictures and photographs of a strange anomaly in the northwestern corner of the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid.
A number of granite floor slabs are missing. Old photographs show gaping holes, which were later covered by wooden planks and then metal grates. Up until the 1990s, the missing floor slabs were still inside the chamber.
In more recent years, the floor has been restored, and metal sheeting and cement have made the holes in the floor almost invisible to unsuspecting tourists.
So, what’s going on here? Is there something beneath the King’s Chamber? Did somebody dig here in antiquity? Did they find anything?
Well in this video, I’ll be giving you the full story of what's below the floor of the Great Pyramid King's Chamber, as I look at written accounts, sketches, photographs and diagrams, and I also have a number of exclusive rare photographs from inside the pit below the King's Chamber.
