      Reconstructive Archaeology

      ...how did Khufu enter the pyramid ?

      ...what happened to Khufu ?

      ...where was the funerary path ?

      I takes these questions as a basis for the following study.

      Edited from the pragmatic perspective of a construction manager / architect.

      Copyright: © 2015 H – J. Fandrich 

      Today, after the completion of the book, I am of the following opinion: A pragmatic approach should be taken to solving the mysteries of the pyramids. I am keen to see whether the research world can warm to this notion.

      The Study... Khufu ( Cheops ) found ?

      No Mythos...  everything was above board ! Khufu has been lying in the pyramid waiting to be discovered for 4.600 years.  We can change this ! Will you come with us ?

      ... the Khufu shaft                  Onwards into the lift shaft.

      ... the Khufu chamber            Khufu will be found here!!

      Furthermore,the functions of the rooms and chambers are different than previously thought : 

      ... Queens chamber-  A ritual chamber for bidding farewell to the Pharaoh

      ... Grand Gallery…      A transport tunnel for heavy loads.

      ... Antechamber…      An ancient Egyptian machine room.

      ... King’s Chamber…  A reserve burial chamber which was never used.

      The Pyramid of Cheops...  a high-security wing !! The Egyptian master builders solved all problems with a pile of stones, some beams, a little metal, reasonable ropes, some water and plenty of common sense.

      Foreword

       A simple question triggered this study:  How did Khufu enter the pyramid?

      After having walked round the pyramid for the third time, I came to the realisation:  A proper entrance is nowhere to be seen.

      Link... Have a walk around the great pyramid on google street view : 

      Even at a distance, I was unable to discover a proper entrance using binoculars. Not at a height of 2 m or 20 m and not even at a height of 50 m or 100 m. On the northern facade, high above the heads of tourists, an impressive lintel can be seen built into the middle of the rock mass… but this is not an entrance either. Only a narrow shaft very close to the lintel serves as an entrance. 

      Link... Have a look at the lintel and the tourist entrance :

      The entrance somehow just does not fit with the basalt paving in front of the east facade. Because that is probably where the funerary temple once stood. Firstly, the funeral ceremony in the pyramid temple and then to carry the god-like Pharaoh halfway round the block to the tomb?…I thought this was quite odd.

      Back then, I had not yet established a deeper understanding of the subject. A number of question marks appeared before my eyes. The many mystical stories about the pyramids also did not exactly help me to get my thoughts in order.

      The mysticism of the Giza plateau is characterised by question after question !  Nobody knows how the pyramids were built … nobody knows how they were able to align the ensemble so precisely to the north … nobody has any idea how the giant stone blocks were moved… and nobody really knows what happened to Khufu and his successors! ...but everyone is talking about it.

      Brilliant... I thought – I will go into the stone mountain. A really good idea for people who want to lose a few pounds. Your clothing sticks to your body and your eyes slowly begin to bulge due to the internal temperature and humidity.

      However... advancing into the rock mass through a grave robber passage, which is too low and too narrow, is an exciting story. Eventually, you will be rewarded and stand in the Grand Gallery, a long hall where you will immediately overcome your newly acquired claustrophobia.

      You would think that a bit of an upward climb would be ok. However, you do not determine
