The great pyramid of Giza is one of the seven wonders of the world that still exists until today. The Pharaoh who made this great structure was of course the great Khufu who was known for creating pyramids. The interior of this place is splendid and is indeed very complex in terms of design. It was so complex that there are actually a few secret chambers of the great pyramid that were found.
The one who started out these expeditions was none other than engineer Wayman Dixon who discovered a couple of air shafts in the chamber of the Queen. His discovery in the north and south section made him famous as he found artifacts in both parts. These artifacts were even placed in a museum as they contributed greatly to Egyptologists.
When Dixon and his assistant dug up the southern shaft, they were able to find a small metal hook that was buried somewhere in the rubble that can be found in the shaft. When they dug up the north shaft, they were able to find a granite ball and a piece of wood that was somewhat cedar like. Eventually, these two artifacts were brought to their country and were named the Dixon relics which were eventually returned to Dixon and then disappeared after a while.
Of course this discovery lead to even further explorations since the beginning of the discovery of the air shafts. Eventually they did find that there were two tunnels that were found in the south and the north walls of this room. However, these tunnels were blocked off by stone blocks which was why they had to be drilled in order to be explored.
Now it was because of this blockade that a robot with the ability to drill was made to that they could proceed further. When they were able to drill the blocks off, they eventually found another room at the end but they noticed that the room was totally empty. Eventually, another group of archaeologists made another robot that this time, had a micro snake camera that could detect all the smallest details that could be found there in the empty room.
Of course the archaeologists used the camera to survey the room and made a few discoveries. One thing that they found was that there were actually some hieroglyphs that were found on the walls. There were even some stone carvings that could be found there on the stone blocks that were stuck at the corners of the room.
According to most Egyptologists, these writings were actually symbolical writings that would tell as to why the shafts are there. There are actually some speculations that the writings are related to the sun. Of course many also disagree with this as they believe that the writings are related to the stars.
Of course there is still no concrete explanation of why these chambers are there in the first place. There are some who believe that they are there for a religious purpose while others believe they are purely symbolic. Once the symbols are decoded, then maybe people will know.
