The Great Pyramid’s Niche of Secrets

  • We are fortunate that many explorers from the past have documented their exploration of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The monument has changed greatly over time, with many critical parts broken, relocated, and renovated or replaced.
    The ‘Queen’s Chamber’ of the Great Pyramid is particularly difficult to understand because it has been subjected to the most damage from visitors. Recently new testimonies from 1837 have come to light which provide critical evidence to understanding if a sarcophagus is missing from within it.
    The entirely unique niche on the chamber’s eastern wall has taunted investigators since before written records. Why is there? What secrets might it hold? The interpretations of explorers have caused tunnels to be dug through it and beneath it. These excavations have accidentally given us critical information to understanding the Queen’s Chamber beyond hunting for a missing tomb.

    When I look at the niche in the Queen's Chamber, specifically how it's asymmetrical with respect to the wall it's in, I get the feeling that this fact is a clue to something just out of reach. It's quite easy to see how those with an exploratory itch find this room so interesting.

      A proper engineering or architectural study of its purpose, informed by culture and history, would probably be the best place to start. After all, significant blind excavation has already turned up nothing of note. The lack of study into such structures given the simplicity it would be with modern techniques is, to me, an astonishing blind spot. One really does wonder why so little such scrutiny is done, or perhaps, allowed.

    It's human nature that one of the hardest things any of us can do is to not be blinded by a fond belief, even when there is contrary evidence. You want to find evidence of a sarcophagus in the queen's chamber and yet in all honesty you had to accept these accounts are not it. Many would not accept that.

    I really like the theory that all three chambers in the pyramid were meant for the pharoah and represent different stages of the building project enabling him to have a burial chamber ready in case he died before the work was finished. So there should not have been sarcophagi in either the "Queen's" chamber or the subterranean one - as no-one was ever buried in them

    I think you might be right with the sarcophagus theory. When looking at the niche with the tunnel visible, well, it look more like a tunnel than a sarcophagus. But on the old photos, half filled with sand and stones, it looks much more like a ( not fully excavated) sarcophagus than I expected. Since both reports you mentioned, were written during Vyse's excavation work in front of the niche, it is likely, that some debris would have been deposited inside the tunnel and after the backfill, left there.

    Another great doc; thank you. In respect to the "sarcophagus", we, today imagine a stone box, either decorated or plain and made with some considerable care and skill befitting its profound significance. However, the word is derived from the Greek sarkophagos, "flesh-eater," referring to a stone coffin that devoured its occupant. The notion of a container that would devour the body inside it would have horrified the ancient Egyptians who used the name, "lord of life," because it was meant to protect and preserve the body in perpetuity. I think it is highly probable that the niche was indeed the "sarcophagus", and that the interpretation of this term has changed over millenia.

  • @roberthigbee3260
    @roberthigbee3260 년 전 +7

    Very nice video, thanks! Sarcophagus, from the Greek, means “flesh eating”, according to the American Heritage Dictionary. And when used in the context of a stone burial box, it means a type of stone that will hasten the decomposition of corpses. Roman historian Pliny the Elder says that the best sarcophagus stone in use in his day could “consume” a corpse in as little as 40 days. My guess is that reducing graveyard smell was the main motivation. Therefore, it does not necessarily refer to a box shaped stone object, but to any stone enclosure you’d put a dead body into. Egyptians, being obsessed with preserving the mortal remains, would naturally be repulsed by we moderns referring to their stone burial boxes as sarcophagi. So, and in line with your theory, your early 1800s dudes, being closer to the origins of the word “sarcophagus”, could have easily thought of both the box in the King’s chamber and the Queen’s chamber niche as sarcophagi. On the other hand, there may be some rich dude, even as I write this, smiling and gently patting the Queen’s chamber box-like sarcophagus in his secret lair. A Queen’s sarcophagus would naturally be smaller, because it’s for a female and would be of a size that could fit inside of the short original tunnel at the back of the niche and would not be elaborated upon too greatly by its discoverer since they, or parties soon after them, hauled it up and out in the dead of night to be sold on the black market.

The Queen's sarcophagus was in the niche sitting on the granite or marble block and the treasure hunter brain of Caviglia figured the treasure she had was behind the sarcophagus so he destroyed it to find her treasure and left the ruble . Sometime around 1817.

      When you build something, everything is mathematical, for example to build a roof, I buy wood in four metters, but I have not so much choice to cut the wood, if I want two equal parts that's make 2 meters, four, 1 meter, but three parts makes 1.33 meter to have no loss. So you have the roof chosen in a way having no loss and you find always consequences of trigonometry, and of the initial choices you have made.an other example for angles, cycle is 360 degrees, the number of days in a year 12 x 30 days, in assyrian calendar, so this makes a link between days and angle.

    my head-canon explaination for the sand is as follows. if you wanted to make a tomb as hard to break into as possible then you would want to surround and fill it with substances that are resistant to digging, while something like granite resists digging through it by being really strong and hard, sand is different. sand resists digging by being really loose and constantly flowing back down into the hole filling itself back in, if you don't sure up the sides then it's impossible to dig deep into sand. in short sand resists digging by being really annoying as opposed to being tough. for this reason i believe the sand was added and used to fill corridors as a mild form of defence to prevent digging. it would be really hard to remove requiring hundred or thousands of buckets being carried up through small corridors to do so but putting in in place would be easy as you could just pour it down the entrance and let the slope of the tunnels do the work. it could also explain the small chutes to nowhere inside the chambers.

    What, wait, at 1:36 people carried tables and chairs up there!
    I would have trouble carrying myself up to the top. But what a picnic that would of been, lucky ducks
    I have never been there and all I have to compare the great Pyramid to is The Sydney Harbour bridge which I have been to the top of its mighty arch many times(for a while the biggest steel arch bridge in the world) and that is an engineering marvel to see from the top and I am mighty proud my fellow countryman built and about the same height as the great Pyramid and that huge stack of stone was built 45 centuries ago, so they tell us.
    Amazing, stupendous just WOW
    BTW, I have watched a lot of this stuff and this this perhaps the best presentation of all. You ask questions without answers and that is beauty of it.
    Another thing. you mentioned around 2:42 that they are, in my words keeping things close to their chest.
    Can you really blame them when over the centuries their heritage was plundered. The British Museum would be the last plunders.
    Now I wait to be told that the Egyptians plundered from surrounding countries like Syria all those years ago.

    When I look at it, I can almost see where a statue was. I can't prove a statue was there but I can easily imagine what it looked like if it was there. I just see how thin the space is top down. So doub crown, head, shoulders, sitting on throne, legs and a square base that prob had all his names and info. I def wish I could go back in time and take a look. I have a good feeling that the outside of the pyramid especially towards the bottom prob had a bunch of hieroglyphics on the casing stones explaining so many answers to questions we ask now. The Great Pyramid is my favorite thing on Earth.

      There’s actually a lot of circumstantial evidence that a statue was not there. It looks like a nice place to put a statue, but it’s the exact opposite of how Egyptians used to place statuary around chambers.

    Given that the Kings Chamber has a reliving chamber on top of it. It could be that a similar such an structure exists below both chambers to support them? Indeed most internal diagrams of the pyramid do not show any internal structure other than a possible profile of the original bed rock. My thought with the sand is that perhaps the internal structure are also large granite slabs with similar voids, but the voids were filled with sand.

    Imho it looks as if the second sarcophagus was turned upside down and put in the excavation hole ( this would account for the discrepancy in depth ) in order that if anyone say the prince came along and re opened the excavation the bottom of the sarcophagus would appear to be a soild block therfore making it look like he was telling the truth this would also explain the large amount of rubble left over in the picture reportedly taken shortly after !

    The Granite plugs in the ascending passage which joins to the Queens Chamber are the Counterweight stones that they used up in the GrandGallery to counter lift the Kings Chamber stones. Once they were of no more use they slid them in the lower passageway.

      I dont see how that's possible
      Such counterweight system would require very small stones to remove from the trolley and put them back in easily, because you need the trolley to go back up empty and then go down again when it's at full weight, that's now counterweight systems work

    You could also conclude that European catacombs might have influenced an explorer's idea of what a sarcophagus was. Grave niches underground would not have been an unusual practice in their minds and the niche tunnel in the Queen's Chamber could have been seen as a similar style to other examples in Europe.
