Out of all structures made by the ancient man, the Great Pyramid is arguably the oldest and largest not only in Giza and Egypt the entire world. Built to be the final Pharaohs, its seemingly the oldest and more so the only surviving Seven Wonders as documented about the Ancient World. Recent events have led to speculation regarding the secret chambers of the Great Pyramid believed to contain the remains of Pharaoh.
The already known chambers are three in number- the base and two upper ones. The base one supports the rest of the structure while the upper two are called the Queen and King Chambers. From the Queens section, two tunnels arise which are blocked externally by stone doors. It is speculated that the tunnels lead to a secret chamber.
The Great Pyramid is adorned with four known shafts. Two of its shafts are from Chambers of the King and the other two in the Queens. The Kings shafts lead to the exterior of this structure while it is not known where those from the Queens lead to. All other pyramids lack shafts and therefore its not easy to solve this mystery.
Pyramid explorers employ the use of robots to explore these giant structures as shafts are too small for a person to get into. The first robot to explore began work in 1992 and discovered a door with two copper handles in the Southern shaft of Queens section. This was 200 feet up the shaft and was unusual, because other pyramids in Egypt have not been found to have such doors.
There is no consensus on what lay behind the door. Some believe that there is a secret chamber which houses the remains of Khufu. Still others speculate that the doors were built to trick anyone trying to steal treasures buried with Khufu. Yet others believe that the mystery of these doors is a puzzle to solve and reveal the exact spot where the remains of Pharaoh are.
In 2002, a newly developed robot drilled a hole on the door found by the previous robot along the Southern shaft. A camera inserted showed another door, this one was 20 centimeters from the first. This was truly mysterious considering there are no other pyramids with doors. Also, the shafts in the Kings section do not have any hidden doors.
Explorers struck again in 2014, this time not in the Southern shafts but in Kings section. The robot discovered hieroglyphs made in red paint and carvings in stone. Most likely made during the construction of chambers, the hieroglyphs and the carvings were estimated to be 4,500 years old. If the meanings of hieroglyphs are deciphered, according to scientists, we would have more information regarding the construction and purpose of these shafts.
It is the tallest and oldest structure on the planet before us and is magnificent in every sense of this world. But we are yet to understand it, know why it was built and solve all its mysteries. We hope in time and with advanced technology, we are able to do that.
