S EARCH F O R " SECRE TE B UR IAL CHA MBE R OF KING KHUFU GREAT PYRAMID"

By D a wo ud Khalil M es siha

In research for new rooms in the Great Pyramid , Dr . Khalil Messi ha (Fig . 1) the Egyptian ph ysi cian and arc haeolo gis t spe nt mo re than fo ur years in anal ytical and researc h stu dies . In the beginning of the ye ar 1967, he applied officially to the Egyptian Ant iquities Department, and was permitted to work in Mars 2

nd1967 in coUaboration with Dr .

Hishmat Messiha curator of Giza pyramids area (Ex-director of the Egyptian An tiqu ity Department 1987) . Dr. Khalil decided to start his investigations and excavations in the Queen's room based on analysis study to historical and archaeological evidences.

The basis he believed that there should be a secret burial chamber for Khufu were : 1-The so-caHed King's and Queen's rooms were built in the super structure-whereas most other pyramids had only one subterranean burial chamber hewn out ofthe bedrock belo w the super structure . The hewn subterranean room of the Great Pyramid was left unfinished by the pyramid builders, and it was not at aU used as aburial chamber. 2-Referrence to pyramid texts which composed of speils that have evidence being wri tten before pyramid age ; an important elements the identification ofthe dead king with Osi ris. The king would become one ofthe circumpolar stars. The king is said to spent h is after life in the boat ofRe. We have three items that should be applied in the pyramid st ructure to achieve the symbolic religious texts. Two of these items were discove red b y

Egyptologists in the Great pyramid and its complex . 2 .1-Identification ofthe dead king with Osiris: Herodotus description ofthe secret roo m where Kuhfu was buried is very similar to the Osireion temple arrangement foun d ne ar Setti I temple at Abydos in Upper Egypt. Herodotus during his visit to Giza Pl ate au (c . 440 BC) was told that beneath the pyramid there were vaults constructed o n a kind of island, which was surrounded by water brought from the Nile by a canal. On thi s island the body of Cheops (Khufu) was said to lie. No trace, however, of either the can al or th e island has yet been found . The Osireion construction is a symbol of the legen d of th e creation where Osiris was buried on the eternal hilI (island) surrounded by primev al waters. Dr. Khalil & Dr. Hishmat believed that most probably there is a sec ret roorn beneath the Great Pyramid to comply with the description of Herodotus and the arrangement ofthe Osirieon . (Khalil Messiha, unpublished report, 4 Feb 1987) . Alth ough the Osirieon is a construction ofMerenptah (1213-1203 RC) the pharaoh oft he Mo dern Kingdom, it is evidently believed that it resembles the arrangement ofan older temple of the Old Kingdom.

Herodotus denied the existence of similar arrangement of burial chambers in the sec ond pyramid which still true until today as our knowledge . Although not aH of Herodotus information about the pyramids and pyramid construction can be taken at fac e vaJue, many ofhis aspects have good evidence oftruth . Herodotus in his description ofthe causeway, stated that it was built ofpol ished ston e on

the mud layer andthe old excavations continued 1967.Another evidence about what Dr. Khalil found comes from Flinders Petrie's notes.description on 1883 about Queen s chamber: chapter 7 section as folIows: "thegeneral floor is hopelessly irregular, consisting plainly of rough core masonry;furthermore, it has been built over with similar rough masonry, which was afterwardsstripped down to insert chamber walls" Petrie added m the same section "But all roundthe chamber, and the lower part of the passage leading to it, is a footing of fine stone, atthe rough floor level." (petrie: The Pyramids and of Gizeh, London,

Did the 10 cm removed by Dr. Khalil composed ofmuddust made by the foots of thousands ofvisitors through the ages or it was madeby pyramid builders?Th e original floor of the Queen s chamber (5x5 meters) is made of huge fine limestoneblocks of various During their work in cleaning this layer of mud, the workersfound chips of the ancient bronze tools. These were specially packed and sent on 11 th

The stone were very heavy and defied every effort to remove it.continued from 7 th Mars to 13 th Mars without success. The team work wasremove the stones without destroying them. Dr. Khalil stated his notes that stoneswere glued to each other by a very strong mortar which was hardly noticed byeyes. I t sounds that the pyramid builders used a special kind of mortar in the importantparts of the pyramid construction. writings about the casing stones blocks thepyramid made the following statement mean thickness of the joints of theeastem casing stones 1S 0.02 inches (petrie, p.13). In the body ofthe pyramid the blocksare very roughly shaped and not at all carefully built together. Considerable gaps arefound which are part filled with a of smaH pieces of stone a poormortar. That this mortar has, or ever had quahty may weIl be doubted,the filling in of any considerable holes blocksto whole mass building (Somers Clarke, p.81). ThemOrtar ofthickness about 0.02 inches in the stones and the Queen's chamberstones was not by I t was not to use such mortar with a great

if the paving stones were set on the bed rock or sands and masonry core.probably the pyramid builders used this technique to hide their secrets safely under the

stone slabs. However Dr. Khalil restarted again his analysis work by Radionies on

the team work decided rather than the stone blocks the floor, drill asmall hole of only 2 inches diameter through which they passed a probe wire, whichwent down for more meters. Also, through that hole the chiefofworkmen passedhis palm the stone brought chalky powder of a reddish color, part of it wassent to the laboratory Egyptian museum.The ancient Egyptian tools and radionic computer of Dr. Khalil indicated thatthis was the true King Khufu's chamber.

im possibl e to de tect the location and dimensions of a void inside the pyramid d epen dingon the survey by the microgra vemeter in a corri dor of only 1.00 m wide. The surveyshould be don e in a large open area in order to have a c on tour m ap wi th th e results notaffecte d by the surrounding env ironm ent. Th is mic rogravemeter could be effective in theope n land area or the mines th at have enou gh wide spa ce .

The results ofthe research confmned the difficulty ofthe analysis ofthe measurements that were take nin three locations in the corridor leads to the Qu een's chambe r wi th 0.50 m spac ebetween ev ery location. The results referred to the possibility of the ex isti ng of a voidnear the wes tern corn er of the Queen 's cham ber that coul d be sands be tw een stones(Fathy Elbed ewy , pp.1 88-190). This led Dr. Khalil to meet again with the Genera lOirecto r, Or . Ahmed Kad ry who asked hirn fo r more experime nts at othe r sites (inc1udingthe Grea t Sphinx ), whic h he finished two years later and found exciting d iscoverie s .

Wassida Unive rsity expedition:A Japanese team was lead by Mr . Sakuji Yoshimura of Wass ida University waspermitted on 1987 to in ves tigate the Great Pyram id.

However the results ofthe expedition after th e survey of 23 Jan.1987 w ere:a-The existen ce of a void of 2.5-3.00 meters height west of the co rrid or leading to theQueen' s chamber has been confirm ed, as we Il as the prese nce in the cavity of quantitiesof sand i n ag ree ment with th e Fr ench Mic rogravi me te r measurements .b-Tbe scan also revealed th e existence of another cavi ty behind the no rth we stern wall ofthe Queen ' s chambe r.

After using different resonance inthe second stage of work on Sept 3 rd 1987, the results confirmed the existence of thecavity near the north western wall of the Queen s chamber and denied the existence ofthe other cavity west of the corridor leads the Queen ' s chamber.

The J apanese elect romagn etic scanner and the French microgravemeter results confirmed

the po ssib ility of existing cavi ties nearby th e Queen's chamber; which also was the resultof Dr . Khalil ex cavat ions . Dr. Kh alil an alysis studies wer e con fmned by the inse rtion ofthe steel wir e whic h lead to more than 20 meters secret pas sage. He found also reddishmortar or a kind of sands down stone slab floors, which was also detected by tbe otherexp editions .The story didn't rea ch its end as Dr. Kha lil said in the y ear 1967 that he is tbe opener ofth e way to the "King Khufu secrete burial chamber", and he will not go inside. He addedthat th e world wo u ld no t be able to open it until the y ear 2000. Dr. Khal il Messiha haspas sed awa y in peace on 29 De c. 1998.
