Fantastic work. Anyone interested in Egyptian archeology might enjoy the writing of Barbara Mertz, writing as Elizabeth Peters, in the Amelia Peabody mystery series.

Problem is that it will take them 20 years before the Egyptian red tape is cleared-up to actually see what this is.

But It will keep the Egyptian new-agers occupied.

Well, I wonder what’s in it.
They found green diorite in the construction rubble of the pyramid, but no green diorite in the known sections of the pyramid.
It’ll be interesting to see when they finally get around to looking, if ever.

The nearby dairy farm is full of cows getting their muon.

OK, I’ll be Sirius. Would there be any plans to attempt to enter the Void?

Has Jeff Sessions announced his recusal from investigations into this void yet?

All the movies I’ve seen with pyramids in them end with sand coming into the main chambers and burying people alive to “Seal the tomb”.

Maybe it’s just the chamber that held the sand until it was time to pull the keystone/cord/switch.

If the pyramid was just a geometric pyramid of very well placed stacked stones that would be an accomplishment in itself.

The internal chambers add a whole additional dimension to the high level of complexity in its construction and done only with the means available in it’s day.

We may have design & construction tools better than any age in human culture, but they have made our works little better, in some particular ways, than what the ancient Egyptians managed to accomplish without them.

Here’s hoping the Pyramids of Giza will be here thousands of years after the present system of things is gone and any humans around then will still be marveling at what the ancient Egyptians did.
