Secret Chambers Of The Great Pyramid
by Claudine Hodges
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 <A href="http://georgeprodoti.com">secret chambers of the great pyramid</A> 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.
When Dixon and his assistant dug up the southern shaft, they were able to find a small metal hook that was buried somewhere in the rubble that can be found in the shaft. When they dug up the north shaft, they were able to find a granite ball and a piece of wood that was somewhat cedar like. Eventually, these two artifacts were brought to their country and were named the Dixon relics which were eventually returned to Dixon and then disappeared after a while.
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.
Of course another robot was created in order to drill those pesky stone blocks so that the team could proceed further but when they did, all they found was an empty room. Now there eventually came a time when there was another robot that was created which had a micro snake camera that could survey the empty room for even the slightest and smallest detail that could be found on the walls and on the ceiling.
After much inspection, what the archaeologists found was rather intriguing. With the use of this robot, they were able to find some small red hieroglyphic symbols that dated back to as far as four thousand years ago. There were also some carvings that were found in the stone block there as well which were probably made during the initial construction of this secret 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.
