First images from Great Pyramid's chamber of secrets
The settling of a couple major and long lived questions involving
the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt are only a tiny fraction of what remains to
be answered in the latest robotic foray into the tomb of one of the greatest
pharaohs Egypt has ever known. The Pharaoh Khufu is buried in the Great Pyramid
along with the King’s Chief Wife and Queen Meritates.
robot named Djedi, after the magician
with whom Khufu consulted before the building of the great Pyramid, has brought
back spectacular images of the interior of what was at one time a charter
member of the Seven Wonders of the World .
It’s a toss up for the ages whether or not the newly discovered images from a tiny chamber in the Great Pyramid of Giza in
The recent images from inside the tomb have answered a debate on the notion concerning alien involvement from the heavenly bodies. In 1993, a similar but less advanced robot crawled 63 metres up the tunnel in the southern wall and discovered what appeared to be a small stone door. What was exciting about these particular doors was that they were set with metal pins. Metal is not a known part of the Great Pyramid and the discovery ignited speculation that the pins were door handles, keys, or even some out of this world parts of a power supply constructed by extraterrestrials.
The Great Pyramid is thought to have been built as a tomb for the pharaoh Khufu, and is the last structure standing of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The Great Pyramid contains three main chambers: the King's Chamber, the Queen's Chamber, and the Grand Gallery. The pyramid in itself is of modern and technological significance. The ability for the ancient Egyptians to construct such a magnificent and structurally sound structure with the tools that were available in that time is simply astonishing.
Additionally, the robot images have shed new light on what was only an estimation by Egyptian researchers. Two airshafts have been found that lead to the King’s Chamber to the exterior of the tomb.
The metal pins that are an exciting ongoing storyline of the King’s Chambers and the Great Pyramid are now believed to be of human origination as the newest photographs have captured ornate rounded ends. The mystery continues with more images being sent up daily by Djedi the robot.
TFOT has covered new robotic technologies that are related to underground photography and robotic excavation in "The Avenue Urban Robot" and "Robotic Snakes."
The Great Pyramid's Chamber of Secrets
It's
756 feet long on each side, 450 feet high and is composed of 2,300,000 blocks
of stone, each averaging 2 1/2 tons in weight. Despite the makers' limited
surveying tools, no side is more than 8 inches different in length than
another, and the whole structure is perfectly oriented to the points of the
compass. Even in the 19th century, it was the tallest building in the world
and, at the age of 4,500 years, it is the only one of the famous "Seven
Wonders of the Ancient World" that still stands. Even today it remains the
most massive building on Earth. It is the Great Pyramid of Khufu, at Giza , Egypt .
Some of the earliest history of the Pyramid
comes from a Greek the historian and traveler Herodotus of Halicanassus. He
visited Egypt
around 450 BC and included a description of the Great Pyramid in a history book
he wrote. Herodotus was told by his Egyptian guides that it took twenty years
for a force of 100,000 oppressed slaves to build the pyramid (with another 10
years to build a stone causeway that connected it to a temple in the valley
below). Stones were lifted into position by the use of immense machines. The
purpose of the structure, according to Herodotus's sources, was as a tomb for
the Pharaoh Khufu (whom the Greeks referred to as Cheops).
Herodotus, a Greek from the democratic city
of Athens ,
probably found the idea of a single man employing such staggering wealth and
effort on his tomb an incredible act of egotism. He reported that even
thousands of years later the Egyptians still hated Khufu for the burden he had
placed on the people and could hardly bring themselves to speak his name.
However, Khufu's contemporary
Egyptian subjects may have seen the great pyramid in a different light. To them
the pharaoh was not just a king, but a living god who linked their lives with
those of the immortals. The pyramid, as an eternal tomb for the pharaoh's body,
may have offered the people reassurance of his continuing influence with the
gods. The pyramid wasn't just a symbol of regal power, but a visible link
between earth and heaven.
Indeed, many of the stories Herodotus relates
to us are probably false. Engineers calculate that fewer men and less years
were needed than Herodotus suggests to build the structure. It also seems
unlikely that slaves or complicated machines were needed for the pyramid's construction. It isn't
surprising that the Greek historian got it wrong, however. By the time he
visited the site, the structure was already 20 centuries old, and much of the
truth about it was shrouded in the mists of history.
Certainly the idea that it was a tomb for a
Pharaoh, though, seems in line with Egyptian practices. For many centuries
before and after the construction of the Great Pyramid, the Egyptians had
interned their dead Pharaoh-Kings, whom they believed to be living Gods, in
intricate tombs. Some were above-ground structures, like the pyramid, others
were cut in the rock underground. All the dead leaders were outfitted with the
many things it was believed they would need in the afterlife to come. Many were
buried with untold treasures.
The Pyramid Complex
If we were to visit the location of the great
pyramid when it was just finished, it would look very different than we see it
today. Originally, the pyramid itself was encased in highly polished white
limestone with a smooth surface which is now gone. At the very top of the
structure would have been a capstone, which is also now missing. Some sources
suggest that the capstone might have been sheathed in gold. Between the white
limestone and the golden cap the pyramid would have made an impressive sight
shining in the bright Egyptian sun.
Around the base of the great pyramid were
four smaller pyramids, three of which still stand today. On the east side of
the pyramid stood a now missing Funerary temple. Running down the hill into the
valley was a stone causeway, which linked the Funerary temple with a temple in
the valley. Around the pyramid were six boat shaped pits that may have
contained the hulls of vessels that belonged to the pharaoh. Parts of one of
these have been found and reconstructed into a 147 foot long boat that today is
enclosed next to the pyramid in its own museum.
The other two large pyramids at Giza , the Pyramid of
Khafre (Khufu's son) and the Pyramid of Menkaure had not yet been built, so the
Khufu's pyramid and its associated structures stood alone, though surrounded by
the dwelling places and the graves of many of those that helped construct it.
Opening the Pyramid
Even in ancient times, thieves breaking into
the sacred burial places were a major problem and Egyptian architects became
adept at designing solutions to this problem. They built passageways that could
be plugged with impassable granite blocks; created secret, hidden rooms and
made decoy chambers. No matter how clever the designers became, however,
robbers seemed to be even smarter and with almost no exceptions, each of the
great tombs of the Egyptian Kings was plundered.
In 820 A.D. the Arab Caliph Abdullah Al Manum
decided to make his own search for the treasure of Khufu. He gathered a gang of
workmen and, unable to find the location of a reputed secret door, started
burrowing into the side of the monument. After a hundred feet of hard going
they were about to give up when they heard a heavy thud echo through the
interior of the pyramid. Digging in the direction of the sound, they soon came
upon a passageway that descended into the heart of the structure. On the floor
lay a large block that had fallen from the ceiling, apparently causing the
noise they had heard. Back at the beginning of the corridor they found the
secret hinged door to the outside they had missed.
Working their way down the passage they soon
found themselves deep in the natural stone below the pyramid. The corridor
stopped descending and went horizontal for about 50 feet, then ended in a blank
wall. A pit extended downward from there for about 30 feet, but it was empty.
When the workmen examined the fallen block they noticed a large granite plug
above it. Cutting through the softer stone around it they found another
passageway that extended up into the heart of the pyramid. As they followed
this corridor upward, they found several more granite blocks closing off the
tunnel. In each case they cut around them by burrowing through the softer
limestone of the walls. Finally, they found themselves in a low, horizontal
passage that led to a small, square, empty room. This became known as the
"Queen's Chamber," though it seems unlikely that it ever served that
function.
Back at the junction of the ascending and
descending passageways, the workers noticed an open space in the ceiling.
Climbing up they found themselves in a high-roofed, ascending passageway. This
became known as the "Grand Gallery." At the top of the gallery was a
low, horizontal passage that led to a large room, some 34 feet long, 17 feet
wide, and 19 feet high. It became known as the "King's Chamber." In
the center was a huge granite sarcophagus without a lid. Otherwise the room was
completely empty.
The Missing Treasure
The Arabs, as if in revenge for the missing
treasure, stripped the pyramid of its fine white limestone casing and used it
for building in Cairo .
They even attempted to disassemble the great pyramid itself, but after removing
the top 30 feet of stone, they gave up on this impossible task.
So what happened to the treasure of King
Khufu? Conventional wisdom says that, like so many other royal tombs, the
pyramid was the victim of robbers in ancient times. If we believe the accounts
of Manum's men, though, the granite plugs that blocked the passageways were
still in place when they entered the tomb. How did the thieves get in and out?
In 1638 an English mathematician, John
Greaves, visited the pyramid. He discovered a narrow shaft, hidden in the wall
that connected the Grand Gallery with the descending passage. Both ends were
tightly sealed and the bottom was blocked with debris. Some archaeologists have
suggested this route was used by the last of the Pharaoh's men to exit the tomb
after the granite plugs had been put in place and by the thieves to get inside.
Given the small size of the passageway and the amount of debris it seems
unlikely that the massive amount of treasure, including the huge missing
sarcophagus lid, could have been removed this way, however.
Construction
Scientists have long argued about how this
massive structure was built, but the most likely theory seems to be that the
Egyptians built a huge ramp that allowed them to drag the blocks into position.
Because a single straight ramp (as seen in the recent movie 10,000B.C.) would have to be
over a half mile long to reach the top and would need to contain as much
material as the pyramid itself, engineers have suggested that the ramp was in
the shape of a spiral running around the outside of the pyramid. Alternately
the Egyptians may have combined a straight ramp that ran part way up the
pyramid with a spiral ramp to the very top levels. Blocks were probably dragged
up the ramp by a team of men and put into their final position through the use
of levers (For more information on the construction of the Great Pyramid, see
our page How to Build a Pyramid).
French architect Jean-Pierre Houdin advanced
the theory that a spiral ramp was used on the inside of the pyramid to move the
stone blocks. According to Houdin a straight external ramp was used to get
materials to the 140 foot level. From there workers dragged the stones through
a set of gently rising tunnels just inside the outer walls. The last tunnel
would exit on the monument's top. A 1986 microgravity survey of the pyramid
discovered a peculiar anomaly: a less-dense structure in the form of a spiral
within the pyramid that may turn out to be what is left of Houdin's tunnels.
A project management group that studied the
problem of building the Great Pyramid estimated that the project, using
material and methods available at the time, might have required less than ten
years to complete: Two or three years site preparation, five years of actual
construction and two years to remove the ramps and put on the finishing
touches. This could have been done with an average work force of less than
14,000 laborers and a peak force of 40,000. By examining the ruins of dwellings
and workshops in the area, archeologists have estimated between 4,000 and 5,000
of these men were full-time workers committed to the project through most of
the construction.
Egyptian records indicate that the laborers,
while being drafted against their will, were actually well cared for by ancient
standards. Regulations have been found covering the maximum amount of work
allowed per day, the wages received and holidays each worker was entitled to.
Also, by scheduling most of the work to be done during annual flood periods,
the Pharaoh could get a lot done without impacting the normal Egyptian economy.
Was the Pyramid a Tomb?
Some have suggested that the pyramid was
never meant as a tomb, but as an astronomical observatory. The Roman author
Proclus, in fact, states that before the pyramid was completed it did serve in
this function. We can't put too much weight on Proclus words, though,
remembering that when he advanced his theory the pyramid was already over 2000
years old.
Richard Proctor, an astronomer, did observe
that the descending passage could have
been used to observe the transits of
certain stars. He also suggested that the grand gallery, when open at the top
during construction, could have been used for mapping the sky.
Many strange (and some silly) theories have
arisen over the years to explain the pyramid and its passageways. Most
archaeologists, however, accept the theory that the great pyramid was just the
largest of a tradition of tombs used for the Pharaohs of Egypt.
So what happened to Khufu's mummy and
treasure? Nobody knows. Extensive explorations have found no other chambers or
passageways. Still one must wonder if, perhaps in this one case, the King and
his architects outsmarted both the ancient thieves and modern archaeologists
and that somewhere in, or below, the last wonder of the ancient world, rests
Khufu and his sacred gold.

ANCIENT EGYPTIAN SEXUALITY
Sexuality in ancient Egypt was open,
untainted by guilt. Sex was an important part of life - from birth to death and
rebirth. Singles and married couples made love. The gods themselves were earthy
enough to copulate. The Egyptians even believed in sex in the afterlife. Sex
was not taboo... Even the Egyptian religion was filled with tales of adultery,
incest, homosexuality and masturbation... with hints of necrophillia!
Masculinity and femininity itself were strongly linked with the ability to
conceive and bear children...
MARRIAGE
To the ancient
Egyptians, the most attractive women tended to be the fertile ones. A woman who
had children was seen to be more fortunate than ones without. Taking after Isis, the mother goddess
of Horus, Egyptian women
strove to be intelligent, wise, mystical and mothers. Where her twin sister Nephthys was barren, Isis was
fertile.
In the Egyptian
community, men had to prove their masculinity by fathering children, while the
women had to be able to bear these sons and daughters. Being a mother meant
being able to keep her marriage secure and to gain a better position in
society.
But an Egyptian
family was not just a status symbol - the Egyptians loved their children and
were not afraid to show it. But there were some advice to parents, written by
scribes:
Do not prefer
one of your children above the others; after all, you never know which one of
them will be kind to you.
Adultery in Egypt was
wrong. Women got the worst punishment for adultery - a man might just be forced
into a divorce, but a woman could conceivably be killed for that crime. In the
Tale of Two Brothers, the adulterous wife was found out, murdered and her body
was thrown to the dogs.
Unmarried women,
on the other hand, seem to be free to choose partners as they so desire, and
enjoy their love life to its fullest.
Prostitutes
advertised themselves through their clothing and make up. Some prostitutes wore
blue faience beaded fish-net dresses, some of which is kept in the Weingreen
Museum of Biblical Archaeology in Dublin .
They painted their lips red, and tattooed themselves on the breasts or thighs
and even went around totally nude.
CONTRACEPTION
The Egyptians
had their own ways and means of getting around the fact that sex produced
children. They had both contraceptives and abortions, mostly these were
prescriptions that were filled with unpleasant ingredients such as crocodile
dung. Here is one of the nicer ones:
Prescription to
make a woman cease to become pregnant for one, two or three years: Grind
together finely a measure of acacia dates with some honey. Moisten seed-wool
with the mixture and insert it in the vagina.
-- Ebers Medical
Papyrus
INCEST
From the close
family relationships in Egyptian mythology and the fact that Egyptians seemed
to have no taboo against incest, many have concluded that incest was rife in
ancient Egypt .
There were
probably some brother and sister marriages, but more likely than not, the
siblings in question would have been half-brothers and half-sisters. The
problem arises from the limited Egyptian terms of kinship, which are very
confusing. A 'father' could refer to the actual father, the grandfather or male
ancestors, while 'mother' could be the same, but for the females of the family.
'Sister' could mean a lover, a wife, a mistress or concubine, niece or aunt!
The royal
family, on the other hand, did have more incestuous marriages. The royal blood
ran through the females, not the males. To become pharaoh, a man had to marry a
royal princess... which would be his sister or half-sister.
The prevalence
of brother-sister marriages within the New Kingdom royal family, a custom in
obvious contrast to contemporary non-royal marriage patters, appears to have
been an attempt to reinforce the links between the royal family and the gods
who themselves frequently indulged in brother-sister unions.

Mummification
The
earliest ancient Egyptians buried their dead in small pits in the desert. The
heat and dryness of the sand dehydrated the bodies quickly, creating lifelike and natural
'mummies'.
Over
many centuries, the ancient Egyptians developed a method of preserving bodies
so they would remain lifelike. The process included embalming the bodies and wrapping them in strips
of linen. Today we call this process mummification.
How
bodies were mummified?
An important man
has died and his body needs to be prepared for burial.
The process of
mummification has two stages. First, the embalming of the body. Then, the
wrapping and burial of the body.
Embalming
the body
First,
his body is taken to the tent known as 'ibu' or the 'place of purification'.
There the embalmers wash his body with good-smelling palm
wine and rinse it with water from the Nile .
One of the
embalmer's men makes a cut in the left side of the body and removes many of the
internal organs. It is important to remove these because they are the first
part of the body to decompose.
The
liver, lungs, stomach and intestines are washed and packed in natron which
will dry them out. The heart is not taken out of the body because it is the
centre of intelligence and feeling and the man will need it in
the afterlife.
A long hook is used
to smash the brain and pull it out through the nose.
The
body is now covered and stuffed with natron which will dry it out. All of the
fluids, and rags from the embalming process will be saved and buried along with
the body.
After
forty days the body is washed again with water from the Nile .
Then it is covered with oils to help the skin stay elastic.
The dehydrated internal organs are wrapped in linen and returned to the body. The body is
stuffed with dry materials such as sawdust, leaves and linen so that it looks
lifelike.
Finally
the body is covered again with good-smelling oils. It is now ready to be
wrapped in linen.
In the
past, when the internal organs were
removed from a body they were placed in hollow canopic jars.
Over many years the
embalming practices changed and embalmers began returning internal organs to
bodies after the organs had been dried in natron. However, solid wood or stone
canopic jars were still buried with the mummy to symbolically protect the
internal organs.
Wrapping
the mummy
First
the head and neck are wrapped with strips of fine linen. Then the fingers and
the toes are individually wrapped.
The
arms and legs are wrapped separately. Between the layers of wrapping, the
embalmers place amulets to protect the body in its journey
through the underworld.
A
priest reads spells out loud while the mummy is being wrapped. These spells
will help ward off evil spirits and help the deceased make the journey to the afterlife.
The
arms and legs are tied together. A papyrus scroll with spells from the Book of
the Dead is placed between the wrapped hands.
More
linen strips are wrapped around the body. At every layer, the bandages are
painted with liquid resin that helps to glue the bandages
together.
A
cloth is wrapped around the body and a picture of the god Osiris is painted on
its surface.
Finally, a
large cloth is wrapped around the entire mummy. It is attached with strips of
linen that run from the top to the bottom of the mummy, and around its middle.
A board of painted
wood is placed on top of the mummy before the mummy is lowered into its coffin.
The first coffin is then put inside a second coffin.
The
funeral is held for the deceased and his family mourns his death.
A ritual called the 'Opening of the Mouth' is
performed, allowing the deceased to eat and drink again.
Finally, the body
and its coffins are placed inside a large stone sarcophagus in the tomb. Furniture, clothing,
valuable objects, food and drink are arranged in the tomb for the deceased.
Now his body is
ready for its journey through the underworld. There his heart will be judged by
his good deeds on earth. If his heart is found to be pure he will be sent to
live for all eternity in the beautiful 'Field of Reeds'.
Where to stay in Egypt
Hotels
Top-end
hotel accommodation in Egypt
surprisingly represents the best value for money. In Cairo ,
there are some spectacular five-star hotels run by international chains, many
of them on the banks of the Nile . In Alexandria , old colonial
hotels on the corniche are convenient and charming.
All cities
and resorts offer a choice of mid-range hotels that offer business facilities
and help with onward connections. Most require reservations several months in
advance, particularly in the winter months and during major Islamic holidays.
Hotels are
graded 1-5 stars, although visitors will find that the standards of the lower
range are somewhat inferior to their counterparts in Europe and the USA .
Bed and breakfast
All the main
towns have smaller, cheap guesthouses, many of which are family-run and offer
the chance to integrate more readily with Egyptian people. Standards vary
considerably from simple but clean, to the very basic where bringing your own
linen is advisable. Most guesthouses can offer tours and help with transport arrangements
although it’s still best to shop around to compare prices and services. In Cairo , inexpensive
accommodation is concentrated in Downtown, above office buildings on and around
Sharia Talaat Harb and some cheaper options in Islamic Cairo. All tend to be
hot in summer as they rarely have air conditioning.
Camping
There are
several places in the country to enjoy a night under canvas, particularly at
budget-style resorts along the Sinai coast and during trips organised trips to
the Sinai interior or the Western
Desert . Egypt is not
such a good place, however, for ad hoc camping and caravanning as there are
many security restrictions in place to protect the country's tourist industry.
There are a few official campsites that tourist offices in Egypt can advise
about.
Other accommodation
There are 11
youth hostels affiliated to the Egyptian Youth Hostels Association, located
mainly in large towns, on the coast and in popular tourist regions. They mainly
cater to local residents but they are used by Western backpackers too.
Shopping in Egypt
In some shops,
you must haggle while in others the price will be set. Which type of store
provides the best possible deals depends both on the shop itself and the
haggling ability of the buyer an seller. Frequently though some of the best
deals at the best consistent quality is found in stores with fixed prices. For
example, one might haggle over a mother-of-pearl box in the Khan el-Khalili and
wind up paying a fairly low price but for an inferior products, while in a
fixed price shop, one might end up paying more, but for a far superior
mother-of-pearl box.
The purpose for
this section is to provide Tour Egypt
readers with information both on how to shop in Egypt , as well as to enlighten them
on how to tell what makes various products better or worse from the standpoint
of quality. Of course, for those not traveling to Egypt , our Virtual Khan el-Khalili, Tour Egypt 's online shop provides many quality
products found in Egypt
at reasonable prices.
What to wear when visiting Egypt
For men it is not really an issue -- normal trousers and shirt
or T-shirt are fine -- but in Cairo
it would not be acceptable to wear short shorts or a tank tops/sleeveless
tops. In the resorts like Sharm El Sheik, Hurghada, Sinai, etc. -- shorts
are fine and it is very open and flexible. This also applies to ladies for the
beach areas, but going into the market area in Hurghada, for example you may be
more comfortable in trousers. Generally for men in Cairo
or any city that is not on the sea side, remain with trousers (at tourist sites
long loose shorts) or jeans and T-shirt , as even in Cairo , local people do not feel comfortable
seeing a man in shorts. In Sea Side areas it's ok to walk in shorts, but once
you enter a local restuarant or market, it's better to be more covered.
So, the main subject here is what women should wear.
Adopting the conservative dress code will hopefully deflect unwanted attention
from the Egyptian men which for most women is desirable. Basic clothes
could be loose linen/cotton trousers or a below knee skirt and sleeved
blouse. (If you're planning to ride a camel, a skirt is not a good
idea.) Tight clothes and low necks are to be avoided. Also aviod
transperant blouses or pants as they are also not welcomed and will draw
attention and even comments, especially from young men.
Going out to dinner, especially in a nice restaurant, it is
advisable to wear smart clothes and having shawl would be a good idea to
cover bare shoulders. On cruise boats also it is nice to have something
smart to wear in the evening.
Comfortable strong shoes are a must (that could be
sneakers/trainers or good leather shoes). Sandals can be worn, but you will
suffer from dust /sand and the streets of Cairo are not clean; there are often muddy
puddles, too, so in general having closed shoes is the better option.
This is not the time to make a fashion statement. It will be difficult to
see sights in heels of any sort, as the desert is sandy.
When entering a mosque as a tourist it is better to observe the
conservative dress code as above, and in some of the major mosques (Al-Azhar
for example) women will be required to cover up and this is provided by the
mosque. Some mosques (i.e., Ibn Touloun) have canvas shoe covers (not
easy to walk with), so it is possible to decline, but Ibn Touloun
mosque is not in use for daily services, so it is not always very clean,
and using the shoe covers can be good for the areas that have no carpets like
the central court. For other mosques like Mohamed Ali or any other, just
remove your shoes and walk in socks. Any Muslim entering a mosque for
prayer will simply remove his/her shoes, so why should a tourist be different?
The best option for most people when entering a mosque is to leave the shoes
with the mosque guard, who usually has a desk at the entrance and a place
to store shoes. He will keep an eye on them. When leaving you can
give him 1 egyptian pound or even half a pound, or nothing. Usually
locals give half a pound just because he is a poor man, but it is not
obligatory. Some of these guards are greedy when they see a tourist, and
they ask you for money but if you do not want to pay just leave, he can't force
you to pay anything and he doesnt have right to not even to mention certain
amount of money to be paid.
In winter it can get cold at night in Egypt ; often it is warmer in the
street than it is inside buildings, so it is a good idea to bring a
casual jacket or shawl. The buildings are designed to be cool and it is
good to be aware of this. Here iit s very rare to have central heating or
central air conditioning; this is only in big hotels and other high class
places.
So to "fit in," the above is highly recommended - this
applies to any of the major cities in Egypt, excluding the Red Sea resorts,
which are much more easy going, but while traveling by road between
destinations (police check points, petrol stations, etc.) covering up more
would be wise. Also when being in Upper Egypt, it is required to be more
covered and for women and also to not wear extreme makeup, as this
will only attract more unwanted attention.
Some tourists wear what they like (tank tops, sun dresses, short
shorts, low necks, see through blouses) - without any consideration for
the local culture or customs. This can be done of course, and they then
imagine that this is ok - and strongly recommend it to others, but in fact
having done it without direct comment or trouble still does not make
it the right choice and they are oblivious to the very bad impression they have
left behind.
