gallery is 45 meters long and almost 9 meters high, the ceiling here is only one meter high and here we are the king's chamber where the pharaoh is believed to have been buried. His mummified body was stolen by thieves many centuries ago along with all the grave goods only the broken stone sarcophagus remains and we can now pass through the chamber wall and the millions of solid stone blocks that form the core of the piramid.From here we can see the chambers and tunnels arranged around us. The king's chamber above a space known as the queen's chamber in the middle we now believe did not house the queen but a shrine with a life-size statue of the pharaoh himself and below the mysterious underground chamber this is generally closed to the public. public and its purpose has never been fully understood unlike the rest of the
pyramid
it is dug into the bedrock far below ground level it appears to be unfinished the walls are rough and irregular here is a strange pit three meters deep and around here a narrow tunnel that ends after only 15 meters but Looking through the bedrock and millions of tons of stone, you can see that the underground chamber was no mistake.The architects and builders of the great pyramids worked with precision. The three access corridors and three chambers align almost perfectly and all on an exact north-south axis. The great pyramid still holds many secrets, but now it is also a true wonder of the virtual world.
