If its too small to be an entrance, it follows that how did they put anything of substance there? Not only because the items would have to be very very small, but also someone, or something, had to place it there. Unless you think that the pyramid was built around the object/s. Seems far fetched to me. A exit for the dead souls would make most sense. And hence there is "nothing" behind the door.

The shaft starts narrow at both ends and can lead into a much bigger space somewhere, where whatever is stored.

They would have been constructed during the entire construction of the pyramid as were other things. For example the granite esophagus in the kings tomb is 1 inch wider than the entrance to the tomb, so would have been put in place before the walls were built.

The pyramid is still one of the worlds most precise buildings and the builders would have thought about every last detail.

You'd all be shocked if they found an iPhone and PSP in there.

Yes, but the important stuff - ie the body and gold gilding was not added at the time of construction, but later on. Its a bit different to putting something of value in at the start when the labourers would have had access.

that's why it could be something that was put in place during the construction. Maybe a library or some sacred items.

Same question as I posed before then - how do you get them in through such a small passage? Nobody could climb up it. It cant have been added during construction, and it cant be added after construction. What is it? Like a riddle.

Why couldn't it have been added during construction?

The jokes started getting boring after the first few. So when exactly are they going to do this?

Obviously this sort of thread isn't well suited to TSR...oh well back to threads about rimming and the like

As an archaeologist (and one studying Egypt), I'm at home here ... :biggrin:

My guess would be more shaft.

NB, if it was something interesting added during construction, what function does the shaft serve? To allow spirits access or something?

Great thread btw.
