Egypt: Trial version of the Great Pyramids corridors
26. 02. 2023In general, we are all familiar with the internal organization of the Great Pyramid of Giza - at least to the extent that is officially known. Aside from the public (and therefore the attention of tourists), there are underground corridors near the Great Pyramid, which will obviously not fit well into the official paradigm. What is absolutely fascinating about them is that the arrangement of these corridors copies the structure of the arrangement of corridors in the Great Pyramid!
The corridors are excavated directly into the bedrock of the rocky surface, but still have features that correspond to the elements that are built, not excavated, inside the Great Pyramid. Here you can find a shortened version of the Descending and Ascending Corridors, embossed at the same angle as they are in the pyramid. At the point where the Descending and Ascending Corridors meet, there is a vertical shaft that must have served something the builders could do without inside the pyramid. Where the experimental Ascending Corridor meets the day of the experimental Grand Gallery, there is a notch that only indicates the beginning of the Horizontal Corridor in the direction leading to the Queen's Chamber in the pyramid. The experimental Great Gallery shows the elements we find in the Great Gallery inside the pyramid, especially the steeply rising angle and the side ramps. The dimensions and angles of this mysterious excavation almost exactly coincide with the corresponding counterparts inside the Great Pyramid.
William Flinders Petrie further described the dimensions of the experimental corridors using tables and compared them with the corresponding parts of the Great Pyramid. The table below is an excerpt taken from his tables. His measurements are used.
Trial corridors | Great Pyramid | |||
the angle of the corridor | 26 ° 32 ' | diameter. difference 24 ' | 26 ° 27 ' | diameter. difference 0,4 ' |
width of corridor | 41,46 | diameter. difference 0,09 | 41,53 | diameter. difference 0,07 |
height of corridor | 47,37 | diameter. difference 0,13 | 47,24 | diameter. difference 0,05 |
ramp height | 23,6 | diameter. difference 0,08 | 23,86 | diameter. difference 0,32 |
gallery width | 81,2 | diameter. difference 0,6 | 82,42 | diameter. difference 0,44 |
In his book The Giza Power Plant, Christopher Dunn hypothesizes that it was an experimental version of the corridors of the Great Pyramid. He believes that the ancient builders wanted to test the construction of the most important parts of the pyramid before starting the construction itself, and so they used an unknown excavation technique to drill the corridors into the rocky subsoil.
The existence of these experimental corridors disproves the idea (the official version) that the construction of the Great Pyramid would have happened in some way randomly. On the contrary, it shows an enormous interest in everything being done exactly. It is obvious that from the very beginning there was an interest in building all the spaces in the pyramid, which we now call the Unfinished Chamber, the Queen's Chamber, the Great Gallery and the King's Chamber.
The book itself Giza power plant explains the possible nature of the operation of the Great Pyramid as a natural source of energy.
