New images\nfrom inside lsthe Great Pyramid shaft reveal evidence of electrical terminals,\ncables and even ancient wiring diagrams!<\/p>\n

The discovery\nof electrical contacts and wiring inside the Great Pyramid, along with markings\nthat show how to connect them, do not fit anywhere in conventional Egyptology but confirm\nthe theory first published in my book, The Giza Power Plant: Technologies of\nAncient Egypt in 1998.<\/p>\n

Only this\ntheory has ever made such predictions, and every robot explorer they send up\nthe shafts finds more and more evidence to prove that the theory is correct.<\/p>\n

Background\nand details follow:><\/p>\n

The Great\nPyramid has long been a source of mystery for the world. Specialists and lay\npeople alike have been drawn to what it might tell us about our ancient past,\nwith a variety of theories being offered for consideration. While there are\nover a hundred pyramids in Egypt, the majority of them, while important and\nsignificant themselves, seem all to be cast in the shadow of the Great. What is\nit about this pyramid that makes it so GREAT?<\/p>\n

Going back\nas far as the 17 century, there are accounts of numerous explorations into the\nGreat Pyramid that have yielded significant new details of the structure. In\nmore recent times, a flurry of excitement has surrounded the mystery of a small\nshaft discovered in 1872 in the wall of the Queen\u2019s Chamber. This shaft did not\nconnect to the chamber and was discovered after a rod was pushed into a small\ncrack in the wall and, after meeting no resistance, prompted Waynman Dixon, a British explorer, to have the limestone\nchiseled away revealing a rectangular opening that measured 20.32 cm (8.00 in) wide\nand 22.35 cm (8.8 in) high. A similar shaft was subsequently found in the north\nwall.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1993, a\nGerman robotics engineer, Rudolph Gantenbrink<\/span><\/a>, on contract to install ventilation fans in\nthe King\u2019s Chamber shafts after cleaning the debris using a robot, proposed\nthat he use his robot, named \u201cUpuaut II\u201d, meaning\n\u201copener of the ways\u201d, to explore the Southern Shaft in the Queen\u2019s Chamber to coax\nfrom the depths of pyramid more of its secrets. While the exits from the shafts\nfrom the King\u2019s Chamber are found on the outside of the pyramid, no exit has\never been found for either of the Queen\u2019s Chamber shafts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because of\nthe machine like technical appearance of the Great Pyramid and the precision\nwith which it was built, in 1977, I began developing a theory that the original\nfunction of the Great Pyramid was not a tomb but a power plant. Within the\ncontext of the power plant, all its attributes and anomalous features that\nother theories were unable to explain without resorting to religious symbolism, found a practical\nanswer. The Queen\u2019s Chamber, I proposed, served as a reaction chamber and the\nshafts leading to this chamber supplied two chemicals that when mixed together\ncreated hydrogen. In 1993 I was viewing the exploration by Gantenbrink\nand when Upuaut II came to the end of the shaft, what\nis now famously known as Gantenbrink\u2019s \u201cdoor\u201d came\ninto view with two metal pins attached.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jeff Summer,\na friend with whom I was watching the video, immediately claimed that they\nlooked like electrodes. This made sense to me for in order to maintain the head\npressure in the shafts, they had to be kept full and the electrodes would serve\nas a switch to signal replenishment. In 1998, my book, The Giza Power Plant,\nwas published incorporating this theory.<\/p>\n

Then in 2002,\nto much fanfare and excitement, \u201cOpening of the Lost Tomb\u201d, which offered to\nshow live the exploration of the Queen\u2019s Chamber southern shaft drilled through\nthe limestone block with the metal fittings and then insert a camera through\nthe hole to see what was behind it. Broadcast in Europe by National Geographic\nand in the US by Fox Television the documentary capture 30 million viewers in\nthe US alone.<\/p>\n

Since the\npublication of my book and prior to the broadcast I posted three articles on my\nwebsite explaining my reasoning behind my analysis of these shafts and what\nwould be revealed if we were able to look behind it. Based on what I wrote in\nThe Giza Power Plant, the last article outlined a prediction of what would be\nfound behind the block. \u00a0The prediction<\/a> included a drawing\nof the continuation of the metal fittings, or wiring attached to them, and a\nchemical supply shaft for the delivery of the chemical. <\/span><\/p>\n

The results\nwere not conclusive, but parts of the theory were supported \u2013 particularly the\nthickness of the block. However, what has recently been revealed shows that my\ndesign was not quite correct. The ancient Egyptians\u2019 design was much better and\nprovided greater evidence to support my theory than I had hoped for!<\/p>\n

In an article published on May 25, 2011 in\nNew\nScientist online magazine<\/a>, the latest exploration of the Southern Shaft in\nthe Great Pyramid\u2019s Queen\u2019s Chamber provides new information that answers the\nquestion of what the back of this block looks like. A new robot has been sent\nup this shaft and had taken more images behind a stone block. (The shaft due to\nits small size could only allow a small animal to pass and Gantenbrink\ndoes not call the block a \u201cdoor\u201d as it has been name by Egyptologists, but a\nUSO, or Unidentified Stone Object \u2013 a nomenclature that I will adopt for\npurposes of this article.)\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I was\nastonished that information regarding this long awaited exploration had been\nreleased without fanfare. Zahi\nHawass<\/span><\/span><\/a>, the minister of antiquities in Egypt, and\ndirector of this recent expedition, described these internal features as the\n\u201clast great mystery of the Great Pyramid.\u201d With the last exploration broadcast\non Fox television in the US garnering 30 million viewers, why was National\nGeographic or Fox television not involved? \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reading the\narticle and looking at the grainy images of the back of the stone block with\nthe metal fittings first detected by Gantenbrink\u2019s\nrobot, it became clear that the author and expedition team members were aware\nof the power plant theory. Rowan Hooper writes, \u201cMetal is not part of any other\nknown structure in the pyramid, and the discovery ignited speculation that the\npins were door handles, keys or even parts of a power supply constructed by\naliens.\u201d Unfortunately, comments like these are not helpful. As the first\nperson to publish a work that described the pins as electrical devices, I must\nset the record straight that I have never credited the construction of the\nGreat Pyramid to aliens, or any other people except the indigenous people\nliving in that area at the time. Moreover, the discovery of the pins in 1993 was\nnot the trigger that gave birth to the idea that the Great Pyramid was a power plant;\nthey simply enhanced the proposed use that I had formulated in 1977 for the\nQueen\u2019s Chamber and the shafts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shaun\nWhitehead the camera designer from the company Scoutek<\/span><\/a> in\nMelton Mowbray, UK said “Our new pictures from\nbehind the pins show that they end in small, beautifully made loops, indicating\nthat they were more likely ornamental rather than electrical connections.” <\/span><\/p>\n

Egyptologist\nKate Spence, of the University of Cambridge, UK, indicated\nthat the USO would have served a symbolic purpose, a door with door handles.\nThis notion has been proposed before. Without knowing what the rest of the\nmetal looked like these features were described as symbolic door handles for\nthe King to use to symbolically raise the door so that his soul can fly off to\nthe stars to which the pyramid shafts are allegedly aligned. <\/span><\/p>\n

The continuation of the pins on the backside\nof Gantenbrink\u2019s USO was not the only discovery\ncaptured by the new robot. The images also revealed a line and some symbols painted\non the floor in red. Peter Der Manuelian,\nan Egyptologist at Harvard University and director of the Giza Archives at the\nMuseum of Fine Arts, Boston, said “Red-painted numbers and graffiti are\nvery common around Giza. They are often masons’ or work-gangs’ marks, denoting\nnumbers, dates or even the names of the gangs.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There was no\nimmediate explanation for what these red symbols mean, but they are a\nsignificant discovery and have the potential to open up an entirely new area of\nresearch in gaining an understanding of ancient Egyptian symbolism. When\nconsidered along with the metal pins the symbols provide all the evidence\nnecessary to prove the electrical use of the pins and also give us a roadmap\nfor exploration into the future. Not only did the ancient Egyptians leave us\nwith the physical evidence that proves this to be so, they also provided us\nwith an electrical schematic that showed how the pins were wired!<\/p>\n

The first\nmost important discovery is the design of the two pins. Judging by their\nrelationship to the size of the space, the pins are approximately .8 cm 5\/16\ninch in diameter. Figure 1 shows the metal looping around, with an apparent gap\nwhere the loop on the right pin seemingly disappears into the limestone block.\nThe left pin shows signs of corrosion, similar to those in the main shaft,\nthough not as severe. There also seems to be a white deposit around the left\npin and its hole, while the right pin has what appears to be a black ring\nencircling the hole that penetrates through to the main shaft.<\/p>\n

As these\nimages did not match those that I had predicted, the expedition team evidently\nbelieved that the controversy had been settled and that that they served as\nmore mundane object and not electrical devices. This conclusion certainly would\nbe more acceptable to those who hold the keys to the pyramid and control what\ninformation is given to the public. What was not noted in the report is what appears\nto be corrosion on one of the pins.<\/p>\n

Nor was\nevidence of flexible conduit curling out of the top of the USO near the center\nand traveling along the ceiling mentioned. (See Figure 2)<\/p>\n

The image of\nthe floor behind the USO is especially intriguing (see Figure 3 & Figure 4).\nThe patchwork of video captured and stitched together images reveals a wealth\nof information. The helical wraps of more flexible conduit can be seen lying on\nthe floor near the bottom of the image just left of the red painted line –\nprobably left there by the maintenance crew. The metallic appearance of this\nobject and the helical turns of the metal has the same\nappearance as a length of flexible conduit that has been pulled apart while\nbeing disassembled would have. There are indication of\nmore lengths of this material on the floor that are not as distinct as this one.\nAlso just above and to the right of the red line is what appears to be an\nopening in the floor with anomalous objects nearby and one of them seeming to disappear\ninto the opening. \u00a0If it is proven\nthat this is indeed a rectangular hole in the floor, is this the chemical supply\nshaft, will it be found elsewhere?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

While it\nappears that the maintenance crew did not clean up after performing repairs in\nthe space behind the USO, the debris was not the only evidence they left there.\nThey also left instructions on how to wire the pins! These instructions were\npainted as symbols onto the floor and represent a simple wiring diagram. The\nuppermost symbol \u2013 depicted as a number 5 with the lower loop almost closed,\nrepresents the left connector through which the pin is pushed until the end of\nthe loop meets the limestone. The pin was probably tapered at the end which\nallowed it to enter the loop and gradually push it open while the connector\nloop held onto the pin as it tried to achieve its original shape. The vertical\nleg of this connector is not to scale (as very few wiring diagrams are) but the\nactual connector probably had a longer vertical leg up to the point when it is\nbent at right angles towards the center of the block.<\/p>\n

The center\nsymbol that shows a round circle with a forked line below it could represent\nthe cable through which electricity flowed. It is positioned between the upper\nand lower connector symbols on the floor as the flexible conduit is positioned\nbetween the right and left pins in the USO.<\/p>\n

The lower\nconnector symbol is roughly similar to the upper with the exception of the top\nbend, which could go right or left as when installed it wouldn\u2019t matter which\nway the loop was turned.<\/p>\n

All the\nsymbols, including the line (which would logically represent the main cable\ncoming from the USO) were more than likely positioned on the side that would\nidentify the positive electrode. This is supported by the appearance of a\ngreater amount of corrosion on the loop on the side where the symbols appear.<\/p>\n

All of that\nwhich is revealed by the Djedi robot describes an\nelectrical device which was accessible to workers for maintenance. Considering\nthe erosion on the pins in the main shaft (the negative electrode having broken\noff in antiquity) and considering the extreme tapering that was more than\nlikely caused by the rise and fall of a corrosive liquid, another significant\nconclusion that can be made is that these electrodes must have been replaced\nperiodically. At the same time, the electrical cables were probably replaced\nand some of the shielding was left in the space. The entire design supports\nthis view! The pins were made so that they could be removed easily and another\none put in its place. Also, seating the lower loop into a blind hole would\nprevent the electrode from turning in the hole. After it was seated in position,\nthe pin protruding into the main shaft would be bent 90 degrees and fixed\nsecurely in operating position.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gantenbrink\u2019s Upuaut II also revealed another important\nfeature about the electrodes. After they were positioned in the hole, a sealant\nwas applied and this can be seen clearly in Figure 5.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n\n

The\nimplications of this analysis are stunning. They clearly indicate that there is\naccess to the end of the Queen\u2019s Chamber shafts and a passageway or passageways exist(s) within\nthe pyramid. This lends support for\nPierre Houdin\u2019s\ninternal ramp<\/span><\/a> theory and suggests that it indeed exists for access not just to\nthe Queen\u2019s Chamber shafts, but also other parts of the structure \u2013 whether they\nare working parts or not.<\/p>\n

Besides\nprompting further exploration in the Great Pyramid, to find ancient symbols and\nto be able to clearly connect them with a previously unknown aspect of human\nactivity in millennia past is extremely exciting. It opens up a whole new area\nof study using knowledge and tools that have been previously excluded from\nancient Egyptian studies.<\/p>\n

So-called but incorrectly named “door” in the Great Pyramid<\/p>\n

Chris Dunn 8\/17\/2010<\/p>\n\n\n

For readers who are new to the discussion about Gantenbrink’s so-called “door” at the end of the southern shaft in the so-called “Queen’s Chamber” in the so-called “tomb” of Khufu that is correctly named The Great Pyramid – and for those jaded observers like me who have been waiting for years for continued research beyond this so-called “door” after it was drilled through in 2002 – we can look forward to an event that may overshadow Chasing Mummies in its level of interest as we are told that further explorations using an updated robot. This robot, the product of Leeds University<\/span><\/a> in England has presumably been trial tested and approved by Dr. Zahi Hawass, the\nexuberant Chairman of Egypt’s Supreme Counsel of Antiquities.<\/p>\n\n

Evidently, work has already been done by the University and a major breakthrough has been made. Hawass is staying quiet about what the breakthrough is and no further information or photographs\/video has been released.<\/p>\n\n

The lead scientist on the project, Dr Robert Richardson of the Leeds University School of Mechanical Engineering, gives the impression that he is not phased by the politics of Egyptology and told theIndependent <\/span><\/span><\/a> newspaper in the UK: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

“We have been working on the project for five years,” he said. “We have no preconceptions. We are trying to gain evidence for other people to draw conclusions. There are two shafts. The north shaft is blocked by a limestone door and nothing has penetrated that door. With the south shaft a previous team has measured the thickness of the stone, drilled through it and put a camera through it and found there was another surface. We are going to determine how thick that is and we could drill through it. We are preparing the robot now and expect to send it up before the end of the year. It’s a big question, and it’s very important not to cause unnecessary damage. We will carry on until we find the answer. We hope to get all the data possible which will be sufficient to answer the questions.”<\/p>\n\n

Just in case new information is forthcoming, and to weigh in on the discussion. Those who may have followed the discussion back in 2000 – 2002, may remember a prediction I made about what will be found behind Gantenbrink’s “door.” My prediction has not changed and the articles I wrote back then are relevant still. The time is coming again for the theory described in The Giza Power Plant<\/span><\/a> to be validated or proven false. Theories about the purpose of features within the Great Pyramid must be agree with the overall theory regarding its original purpose. By reading the links provided below, you will see that in 2002, The Giza Power Plant was the only theory left standing.<\/p>\n\nBeyond Gantenbrink’s “Door”<\/a>\n\nThe Giza Power Plant hypothesis predicts what was<\/span>\nfound on the other side of Gantenbrink’s “door.”\n\nWhat is behind Gantenbrink’s “Door”<\/a>\n\n

Any explanation for the Great Pyramid has to explain all known features. Since its discovery, much has been written and speculated \nabout what lies hidden behind the limestone block at the end of the Southern Shaft in the Queen’s Chamber. Any hypothesis that purports to explain the purpose for the Great Pyramid if true should be able to reasonably predict what lies behind Gantenbrink’s “door.” Based on an engineering analysis, The Giza Power Plant hypothesis lays out such a prediction…<\/p>\n\n\n<span”>The Evidence leading to Gantenbrink’s “Door”<\/a>\n\nOn Monday, September 16, 2002 at 8:00 PM ET, FOX television (US) will<\/big><\/span>\n\nbroadcast live from Egypt an exploration of the Southern Shaft in the Queen’s Chamber in\n\nthe Great Pyramid. Since 1993, when robotics engineer, Rudolph Gantenbrink made his\n\ninitial exploration of this 8-inch square 200 ft. long mysterious shaft, millions of Egypt\n\nwatchers around the world have been waiting for the day when additional explorations would\n\ntake place and a tantalizing barrier to our past would be penetrated.…<\/span><\/big>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
