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.
Now they first found a metal hook in the southern shaft that was buried there in the dirt. Of course if they were able to find a relic in the southern shaft, they also went to see the northern shaft in which they were able to find two relics namely a granite ball and a cedar like piece of wood. These two artifacts were then brought back to their homeland in England wherein they were named after Dixon as the Dixon relics and were soon lost after they were returned to sir Dixon.
Now it was because of this that another expedition was made in the year 1993. In the second expedition, they were then able to find two tunnels which were found in the northern and southern walls of this same chamber. The only problem here was that the tunnels were eventually blocked by some stone blocks that had to be drilled.
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.
Now they first inspected all the walls and the entire ceiling of the area. When they checked the corners they were amazed to find some small red hieroglyphs that were written down there that were around four thousand five hundred years old. There were some stone carvings that were also seen there that were also dated around four thousand years ago.
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.
