Looks like a Sealy Perfect Sleeper mattress from antiquity in the foto.
Those pictures show his village to be what looks about a kilometer or two from the pyramid. Are we to believe that no one from the antiquities bureau had ever thought to dig a couple holes around that entire area before?

Now I'm gonna take a wiid guess and say that someone knew where it was...and was waiting for an opportunity...it might have been the present owner.
:’)
That mine’s not mine, I mean yours! I mean not yours!
The so-called Valley of the Golden Mummies (the name seems to have been Zahi’s idea) is a huge cemetery from Roman times (or perhaps a little earlier) with perhaps a million burials in it. It was discovered in the past 20 years when a tourist’s mule stepped on a soft spot and broke through. This guy digging a 33 foot hole was — like so many in Egypt — doubtless looking for antiquities to sell.
Zahi Hawass has been reappointed as Minister of Antiquities in Egypt? If so, did he pay this guy to dig this 33 foot hole so he could grab the entire thing? (Just my musing).
There is a second article which led from the first article, via a link and that article and the comments that follow are particularly interesting:

OK...In my research on Khufu I mentioned that Dr Hawass kept on moving the angle of the causeway so that it would not overlap with the location of the harbor. (As this comment box does not allow images to upload I cannot include images)
Hawass first published data on the angle of the causeway in Orientalia Monspeliensia IX, pp 245-256 where the angle drawn by the causeway was circa 42 degrees north of due east
In 2008 Hawass himself then co-published a book with Ashraf Senussi on Old Kingdom pottery but somehow the angle of the causeway was suddenly 32 degrees north of due east
Between the first paper and the second paper the angle shifted a full 10 degrees. He plotted the direction of the causeway very accurately in the earlier first paper...and gave no reason for the shift in angle in the second paper.
Even more worrying is the fact that Hawass drew the maps so they were difficult to use...and the change in angle seems at first galnce to have only been made to ensure the direction drawn by the causeways do not overlap the location of the harbor wall...this could have been used as a tool to test the age of the Pyramids...
and now an amateur discovers the causeway intact.... and Hawass the person who keeps on changing the angle of this causeway.....is in charge of studying them....
For my research I need to know the angle of these causeways.........I mentioned this in my book.
Could it be the line draws an angle at 33 degrees north of due east?
The other causeways present at Giza draw the sidereal month value and the 1 degree motion of earth around the sun....see prior work published on Saskaywaman (Ancient Origins) which shows that linear geometric patterns appear worldwide to align to astronomical values.....specifically those used to predict eclipses.
If it is found that the Pyramids also draw astronomical values as an angular array....Hawass would then have to admit the astronomical alignments drawn by the Pyramids are identical to those seen at other ancient archaeological sites....

A doctor and an author?hopefully your book is less garbled than that post.

And fools rush in
A Pedro and a John, a garbled mulatto by any other idiom, IQ missing the lowest percentile by more than a horse hair, a doos, indeed.

This was something many people were waiting for.
I hope we will get an update very soon

Hawass is a fraud. He buries the truth about the construct and details surrounding WHY the pyramids were built so Egypt can continue to exploit the “mystery” and cash in on tourist money. He knows damn well it was not a great tomb. NEVER EVER EVER...not even ONCE, was a sarcophagus EVER FOUND IN ANY PYRAMID!!!!! Such B.S....this world sucks.
PADRAIGIN EAGLE WROTE ON 5 JANUARY, 2015 - 12:00 PERMALINK
Exactly, Hawass, a scummoneybag of note. And thanks Jayem for reminding those that can read but who be ignorant of this cretins “credentials”, a slimeball to the very end of the causeway.

Makes you wonder how many more unearthed tombs and passages there are to be discovered.
TOMZ WROTE ON 5 JANUARY, 2015 - 02:49 PERMALINK
Have to agree with you. No sarcophagi anywhere to be found. I’m in favor of the power plant theory. It works as well as the tomb ‘theory’. But I have little respect for Hawass. He’s been the guardian of a cash cow in terms of archaeology. The Bosnian pyramid project is more authentic research than the current Giza charade.

Makes you wonder how many tombs and passages HAVE been discovered and then hushed up be the egyptian government.

“The Ministry of Antiquities was notified of the incredibly finding . . . “
*incredible
Please proof-read your articles. You are an editor, are you not?

I am almost certain that Dr Hawass is no longer the man guarding the antquities of Eqypt. He was sacked when Hosni got taken down. Didn’t he?
DEREK CUNNINGHAM WROTE ON 5 JANUARY, 2015 - 06:20 PERMALINK
He was sacked the reappointed

if Hawass was reinstated then then the old dictator structure is back in place. We shall see Egypt politically erupt again and again until the old order is destroyed.
A question: Why is Hawass doing these seemingly underhanded things? Why the dishonesty? I have a feeling that his motives are more sinister and not just about money from tourists.
When the old order is finally ousted I think we will see another side (more open) of the Pyramid/Egypt mystery. I can’t wait for a few home truths.”
If I were him, I would have filled the hole back up once I found the passage.
Uh-oh... Now Imhotep is going to come afte poor Nagy!

I bet when they walk a bit down the causeway they find a damaged flying saucer abandoned by the REAL builders of the pyramids, right?
Boris in that picture depicts what I felt like when I had to supervise millennial employees.
Used to get the same kind of look from them sometimes.
Hawass was Minister of Antiquities four ministers ago. But he’s making a killing off the History Channel. At first he seems like a favorite uncle but looking deeper you realize he’s the uncle the family doesn’t want to talk about.
He was reappointed!
That's eggzackly what Mr. Nagy was doing. Gyppo national sport.
Once I had a plumber looking for the main sewer line in the front yard of a house, near the front property line, after a few days of getting evasive reports from him, and him saying that he still hadn’t found it, I went to check on him.
While the sewer line would have been about 4 or 5 feet deep, for some reason he picked a certain spot and just kept digging as he looked for it vertically, somehow he had dug a 21 foot deep hole, by himself, I don’t even know how he handled doing it, removing the dirt and so on, but I didn’t want to embarrass him with questions, and I merely showed him where the pipe was most likely to be, and set him back to work.
He was working on that gold vein he came across.
