Egypt
Secret Chamber Discovered in the Great Pyramid
Talking Pyramids (Vincent Brown)
Breaking in the news this morning was the announcement of a new discovery:Egyptologist Bob Brier has discovered a hidden chamber in the Great Pyramid!
Apparently the discovery was made while investigating the merits of Jean Pierre Houdin’s theory that an internal spiral ramp was used to raise the stones used in the construction of the pyramid. The new chamber was discovered high up on the north-east corner of the pyramid and could be evidence of one of the corner cavities formed by the internal ramp.
Dr Brier will be giving a special lecture to announce the findings and present evidence including photographs of the newly discovered room.
See Vincent's site for details.
