The pyramid is a stronghold that shows where the King is and protects him for eternity, and to this day, it has been 100 % effective for all seven great pyramids.

No Kings have been bothered thanks to the double protection shielding them: one physical protection and a psychological one, both well-designed and whose implementation has been almost perfect.

Let’s pretend for a minute that we are Indiana Jones, who was appointed by the ScanPyramids project to find the King, where the muons radiography AND MY STUDY located him.

Knowing where he is, how can he gain access to the funeral complex of Cheops?

• From the top, over 86 m (282.1 ft) the old access well shaft has been filled up; to clear it, a winch placed on the 201 course would be necessary, but we know nothing about this well shaft, its exact dimensions or how it was plugged.
• From the sides, a 60 m (196.8 ft) long tunnel could be horizontally dug through the unsteady filling stones at 55 m (180.4 ft) above sea level.
• From below, better forget the idea of passing through the well shaft that could be accessible via the niche of the lower chamber because inside there are 34 m (111.5 ft) of stacked stones vertically on top of each other, ready to fall on one’s head, and there is no space to work and evacuate the blocks.
• How about directly from the Grand Gallery’s ceiling? How is working in this narrow volume whose base is a slope of 8 m (26.2 ft) below, and by breaking the vault, taking the risk of having stone blocks fall on the head?

The bunker of the real funeral complex is far better protected than the upper chamber with its three makeshift harrows that the builders have left exposed to future “visitors”.

Yet, the Great Pyramid has a design fault compared to the concept of the sphere of protection.

The GRAND GALLERY at the end of the ascending gallery marks a “free” path of 80 m (262.4 ft) long, from the base to the King’s bunker, as it reaches the 50 m (164 ft) level while the bunker starts at the 55 m (180.4 ft): a monument of 230 m (754.5 ft) on the sides and 146 m (479 ft) high leaving only 5 m (16.4 ft) of stones as protection?

Admittedly, the vault of the Grand Gallery is lofty and very narrow, a sort of hollowed pyramid, is a major obstacle for anyone who would drill a hole above one’s head.

But the vertical wall at the extreme south end of the Grand Gallery is its weak spot, especially as the builders themselves weakened it by digging a gallery without filling it up.

Did they know about this weakness?

Setting a “King’s chamber” much more meticulous than the previous ones in terms of size, manufacturing, and protection quality with a sarcophagus as a bonus, the builders did their best to divert the visitors’ attention from the “actual chamber”. It must be said that this ruse worked without downgrading the “funeral chambers” of the previous pyramids, which is peculiar as they are much cruder!

What’s more surprising is that the very conventional Gilles Dormion in his book “La chambre de Chéops” (The Chamber of Cheops) masterfully demonstrated the subterfuge without stirring the archaeological community. The consensus about the upper chamber being the “King’s chamber” is concrete!

Could this fortress have an Achilles’ heel?

If it had one, it would start at the top of the south wall of the Grand Gallery through a narrow tunnel that still leads today to the said “relieving” chamber of Davison, just a few meters above from the burial complex.

If we could dig vertically over 5 m (16.4 ft) at the exit of the Grand Gallery and dig 5 more m (16.4 ft) horizontally due north, there is the wall of the antechamber above.

This antechamber, being more likely empty, should have limestone walls easy to drill to enter this volume, that maybe is similar to the lower chamber, and it would provide to the new visitors enough space to comfortably work on the granite wall of 1.5 m (4.9 ft) thick of the royal bunker.

The first exploration phase would likely be a hole of a few centimeters in diameter to let an endoscope through, and then who knows, a small drone could take over later, etc.

And there is a but…

What if the builders foresaw these entry attempts and “drowned the royal bathyscaphe” in a “pool” of under pressure sand?

At 55 m (180.4 ft) altitude, there are still 91 m (298.5 ft) of stones above, i.e., the equivalent of the pressure in the ocean at a depth of 230 m (754.5 ft)!

The builders had the means and the architectural skills to place the royal “bunker” in a sort of big pool in such a way that very fine sand obtained from cutting the stones in the quarries could be piled all around it.

The beams closing the upper chamber with a 5 m (16.4 ft) reach as well as the incredible stacking of megalithic stones above this chamber prove the builders’ skills to erect such a mammoth and open structure.

Therefore, it is possible that this “wall of sand” protecting the funeral complex would be put under pressure by closing it at the top with “floating” slabs sliding into “open” well shafts full of sand.

These open well shafts as well as the funeral complex would rest on the core masonry of the pyramid going from the base including the Grand Gallery up to the base of the funeral complex.

Thus, there could be a wall of sand surrounding the royal bunker under 23 kg/cm2 (≈ 50.7 lbs. per sq. in.) of pressure, making a volume of approximately 1000 m3, enough to fill up the Grand Gallery.

We can guess what could happen if a hole were drilled into the Grand Gallery’s ceiling, even small in diameter, to gain access to the floor of the funeral complex to let through an endoscope.

A hole of 3 cm (1.1 in) in diameter and a pressure of 23 kg/cm2 produce a vertical force of 2 KN, which is impossible to contain if not prepared for this. As the drill bit pierces, it and the drill would be ejected out of the hands, and a shower of under-pressured fine sand would fall on the operators, blinding them. It’s time to run, fast!

After a few hours, the Grand Gallery, the ascending gallery and the al-Ma’mum opening would be filled up with sand and blocks for a while!

We can imagine the panic if such an event were to occur in the dug, narrow corridor at the top of the south wall of the Grand Gallery!

The king is well protected!
