pyramid cavities
philip coppens

a new sandstorm is brewing on the outskirts of the egyptian desert: newly released ground scans reveal that a team of egyptian scientists has identified potential locations of tunnels and caves – on par with the controversial hall of records – in the immediate vicinity of the pyramids and the sphinx.

the pyramids of gizeh are built on a limestone plateau, which means that it has got the consistency of a cheese with lots of holes. indeed, one cave on the plateau was actually incorporated into the internal layout of the pyramid – and may have contributed to why the great pyramid, the only pyramid that has an elaborate structure in the pyramid itself, has this unique internal structure.

it is therefore to be expected that elsewhere on the plateau, similar cavities, if not long tunnels, exist. this makes for intriguing possibilities, as some of these tunnels may have been used by the ancient egyptians – or that other tunnels or caves may have been expanded, or new “halls” – such as the fabled hall of records – constructed.

in the 1990s, the so-called osiris shaft, located under the causeway of khafre, became the subject of immense speculation. today, it is believed that in ancient times, people used the water-filled shaft as a swimming-hole. the shaft descends in several places to a depth of nearly 100 feet (35m) below the plateau. when zahi hawass investigated the structure, the last level his team excavated was about 25m underground, and was completely filled with water.

on almost regular intervals, the temperature as to what might lie below the gizeh plateau rises. some years ago, andrew collins in “the gods of eden” argued that an entire layout of the duat was potentially lying in wait of discovery underneath the plateau. it came at a time when others were speaking about the fabled hall of records, which according to some traditions would hold important relics of a bygone age, often said to predate egypt itself (read: atlantis).

more recently, not so much pyramid fever, but cavity fever, has risen again. cavity fever has risen, if only because the groundwater in the area is rising too, and this might endanger the monuments. in some areas, flooding has already begun, caused by farming, urbanization and residential housing near temples. reda mohamed el-damak, director of the center of studies and designs for water projects at cairo university's faculty of engineering, states that groundwater is posing the most serious threat to the sphinx, carved from the bedrock of the giza plateau, and situated at lower altitude than the pyramids, who sit on the plateau, themselves. the latest measurement readings from the site show that groundwater is only 4 meters deep under the sphinx.

this means, of course, that any tunnel that goes deeper than 4 meters around the area of the sphinx, is now already under water. anything inside, unless watertight, will therefore already be destroyed, if only because the water that is causing the problem is waste water. this does not bode well for people searching for the hall of records underneath this enigmatic monument.

wow.

i hope they managed to find it.

i'm deeply fascinated by the study of the civilization pre-dating ancient egypt, "khem".

i know this is an old post but i can't resist;
alway's have been fascinated by ancient egypt, i'm sure weve all had history there, not to mention great dreams about it, lot's of romance but there were the bad times as well.
anyway, the point i want to make is that according to the writings of herodotus, this is not the only known hall of records; out by hawar, near that old canal that joseph was said to have supervised in his 100th year by the temples of hathor amongst other ruins, there was a pyramid that had long collapsed due to earthquakes and ? per herodotus who was allowed to visit the underground complex next to it stating there he saw 1800 rooms himself but was prohibited to go to the underground rooms. but he claims on the walls of the great halls were a pictoral history of the peoples from the beginning, clad in gold. but the thing that interested me the most was that when he ased what the first two large rooms were at the entrance he was told they were growing/ cultivation room's, so this bunker may date back to the last epoch and is synonymous with the eddic norse myths told by the legendary mimer, who sounds a lot like the ancient egyptian mim.
unfortunatly these to are now full of water from the nile, at least that's what the [book name-please pm joe ifor the book name] claim's.
