The Great Pyramid Shafts
The shafts that extend from the northern and southern walls of the Queens chamber have been found to have doors with copper bolts inside them. Perhaps behind one of these doors we will find a sarcophagus containing the missing mummy of Khufu's mother Hetepheres and the shaft will turn out to be a symbolic corridor leading to her burial chamber.
We know Khufu's sarcophagus had to be placed into the Kings chamber at the time of that chambers construction the same may be true for his mother who may be in a chamber just big enough to hold a sarcophagus within the masonry of the pyramid.
