I don't think the purpose of the inner passages of the Pyramids has ever been completely established.


Right...Joseph built these massive structures, leaving scant (damp) space within them, to store grain...brilliant...to hell with archaeologists who have spent lifetimes studying them, Carson divines a new purpose out of thin air.

Al

In Khufu's pyramid there are two and a half million blocks, some of them weighing one hundred and fifty tons,30 all of them averaging two and a half tons; they cover half a million square feet, and rise 481 feet into the air.

And the mass is solid; only a few blocks were omitted, to leave a secret passage way for the carcass of the King.

A guide leads the trembling visitor on all fours into the cavernous mausoleum, up a hundred crouching steps to the very heart of the pyramid; there in the damp, still center, buried in darkness and secrecy, once rested the bones of Khufu and his queen.

The marble sarcophagus of the Pharaoh is still in place, but broken and empty. Even these stones could not deter human thievery, nor all the curses of the gods.
