Out of all structures made by the ancient man, the Great Pyramid is arguably the oldest and largest not only in Giza and Egypt the entire world. Built to be the final Pharaohs, its seemingly the oldest and more so the only surviving Seven Wonders as documented about the Ancient World. Recent events have led to speculation regarding the secret chambers of the Great Pyramid believed to contain the remains of Pharaoh.
The already known chambers are three in number- the base and two upper ones. The base one supports the rest of the structure while the upper two are called the Queen and King Chambers. From the Queens section, two tunnels arise which are blocked externally by stone doors. It is speculated that the tunnels lead to a secret chamber.
The Great Pyramid was built with four shafts, two extending from the Kings Chambers while the others are in the Queens. Those from the Kings side lead to the exterior while no one knows where the Queens shafts lead to. Since no other pyramids have shafts, it is difficult to solve this mystery, at least for now. The shafts are important as they provide a way into the almost solid structure.
Explorers use the shaft to let explorer robots into the pyramid as they are too small for a person to fit into. The exploration began in 1992 with a robot exploring the shafts in the section of the Queen. The robots climbed 200 feet before discovering a door with two copper handles. This was strange because of all other Egyptian pyramids; none had such doors with copper handles.
Many people believe that behind this door is a secret chamber where Khufus remains are buried. Others believe that the mystery of these doors had been just to confuse thieves who may be after Khufus treasures. Still others claim that the secret doors are a puzzle which once solved will reveal exactly where Khufus remains are hidden.
In 2002, a newly developed robot drilled a hole on the door found by the previous robot along the Southern shaft. A camera inserted showed another door, this one was 20 centimeters from the first. This was truly mysterious considering there are no other pyramids with doors. Also, the shafts in the Kings section do not have any hidden doors.
Explorers struck again in 2014, this time not in the Southern shafts but in Kings section. The robot discovered hieroglyphs made in red paint and carvings in stone. Most likely made during the construction of chambers, the hieroglyphs and the carvings were estimated to be 4,500 years old. If the meanings of hieroglyphs are deciphered, according to scientists, we would have more information regarding the construction and purpose of these shafts.
We are still not anywhere near solving the mystery of these doors. In addition, despite being the most technologically advanced people to ever live on this planet, we are still far away from figuring out the purpose of those structures. It is the tallest structure in the Ancient world, has lived 4500 years and is truly magnificent in every sense but we still have no clue.
