Why is there a deep pit in the Great Pyramid's subterranean chamber?
In recent weeks, everyone may have seen this pit being mentioned more and more, and this is ever since the controversial Khafre SAR project reached the world’s media.
Of course, we now know why. It's because claims have been made that enormous cylinder-like features have been detected beneath the Khafre Pyramid, and they apparently extend down for hundreds of meters into the bedrock. There is even talk of a lost city beneath the Giza Plateau.
With that in mind, let's see why a deep pit and a vertical shaft in the basement of the Great Pyramid are getting attention. Some claim that this is the beginning of one of the so-called giant cylinders; others claim this is an entrance into a cave system or even the alleged "underground city." Tourists are not allowed. It’s cordoned off.
Authorities have filled it in, and now, together with the Khafre SAR data, this is all leading to what some are saying is a conspiracy.
What is the truth? What do we actually know about this enigmatic pit in the bowels of the Great Pyramid's Subterranean Chamber? Let’s find out.
