Looting Khufu's Pyramid: A Timeline of Events
____________________________________ The entry into Khufu's pyramid
has left many questions unanswered. This brief exposition is designed
to elucidate the most probable series of events that account for the
Arabic records, the physical evidence, and the burial practices we do
understand from the Old Kingdom, and put them together in the most
logical sequence of events that include and explain all of the factors
listed above. It is quite probable that the main entrance was actually
known in the time of Caliph Mahmun. Strabo indicates it was known in
20BCE, and we really have no reason to think it would have been lost
or forgotten over the years. Since we have no evidence to suggest the
location of the entrance was lost, then it is likely that it was used
by many people to explore the subterranean passage. In very ancient
times, it was through this passage that the contents of the tomb were
probably removed, via the long, narrow vertical shaft that leads from
the Grand Gallery to the lowest part of the descending passage. This
emergency escape tunnel had been left by the builders who released the
plugstones... and somebody found it and used it to remove every piece
of valuable gold, pottery or statuary they could fit through the
passage. Over time, the long, tortuous vertical shaft became plugged
with rocks and debris. Add a few earth tremors, and it becomes
completely impassible. In actuality, nobody looking to gain access to
the chambers that are high up inside the pyramid would EVER think to
use this little hole in the roof of a cave hundreds of feet below the
actual burial chambers. In a beautifully camoflauged spot, the tunnel
was hidden right out in the open. It simply wasn't worth the effort or
risk of clearing it out once it had become plugged. * Now...I ask you
to fast forward to 893CE.* While hunting through the descending
passage, possibly as a result of his having found the Trial Passages
outside for the first time, Caliph Mahmun's men disloged a huge piece
of plaster/mortar that was conceiling the entrance to the Ascending
Passageway. This gave him the location and angle of the passage... but
it did NOT tell him what was behind the huge granite plugs. For all he
could know, removing the plugs could have brought the entire mountain
of stone down on top of them. So, he devised a second plan. Tunnelling
in from outside the pyramid, he knew precisely how far in he had to
tunnel through the rock before turning his tunnel left. What he found
was a wall of granite plug stones. HE tunneled up the side of the
granite plugstones, being very careful not to disturb them, or risk
"bringing down the mountain" up on themselves. When he reached the top
of the plugstones, he found that it opened up into the Ascending
Passageway, and he was able to climb up and into the Grand Gallery...
and eventually even the King's Burial Chamber... only to find it had
already been robbed of most significant valuables via the (now
plugged) Vertical Shaft. Still, using his new, larger tunnel, he was
able to remove things like the sarcophagus lid, and perhaps even the
inner sarcophagus, as well as other grave goods that are attested to
in Arabic records, including parts of a mummy. Naturally, anyone who
can find a hole in this timeline is welcome to email me with
corrections. No evidence will be ignored. Email: sakovich at msn.com
