I recently discovered that the sarcophagus found in the "King's Chamber" in the great pyramid in Giza, Egypt is a practical device rather than a final resting place for a mummy. The Object is one of the few found in the great pyramid that can be moved around. Besides it there were granite passage blocking stones, a recently discovered stone ball or sphere and a metal rod. This objects assigned the name as "the sarcophagus" looks like a broken sarcophagus being a heavy solid granite block that is carved out in the shape of a box. It even has lips carved on its upper most parts that resemble the lips that seal a typical ancient Egyptian sarcophagus. No granite top to this granite box has ever been discovered and none is in the older literature from the first explorers. If it were a sarcophagus or intended to be used as one , one would expect the lid to have been on it . If the lid were once present it could not have been removed from the Chamber without breaking it up into small pieces to fit though the narrow passage leading in and out of the Chamber. That would be assuming it was made of the same kind of granite and not wood and gold or some other material. It does appear to be designed to have a solid granite lid but that was probably intended by the builders to fool anyone that made it that far into the pyramid.
Two nights ago I was looking at pictures and diagrams of the Pyramid and king's chamber and realized for the first time that the alignment of all the known passages in the great pyramid are oriented North to South. Someone over a number of years I never paid attention to their orientation. I always was willing to accept that the so called vents might have somehow lined up with certain stars at certain times in the sky above which I believe is mostly a fallacy. All the major pyramids in Egypt happen to be located on the Western Side of the Nile and most are built up on the bluffs high off the river plane where they can be seen from either side of the river. The orientation of the pyramids is much more about the east west access with the rising and setting of the sun than it is about North and South. I call the East West axis the Sacred axis because the dead are buried to the West and the living are all to East of it where the Sun rises daily. The mythological texts of ancient Egypt are built up on stories of the Sun being a major god. The dead reside in the larger more inhospitable Sahara desert to the east in the way so many of the ancient dead are buried in complexes on the east side of the river and oven above the green river plane . Mummies certainly would not do well interred in the ground where seasonal flooding can add a great deal of moisture to the soil.
The reason for my ah ha moment that the axis tunnels and chambers are oriented north and south in the great pyramid tells me they are service entries and access areas not sacred access areas. I would expect to see an axis of tunnels and chambers oriented east and west. That of course is speculation. I am explaining how I realized that the so called sarcophagus in the King's Chamber is a tool with practical uses rather than a box for a mummy or bones.
The sarcophagus happens to be a solid carved out granite box which just happens to have special properties . First of all it is very strong in spite of that broken corner being made of granite. Second it actually can have heavy load bearing properties. Much more mass can be loaded on top of it than just a heavy carved granite sarcophagus lid. This granite box is essentially a solid hollowed out granite block. Tourists visiting the King's chamber enjoy lying in the box as if it is a crypt. Others speculate that the sarcophagus is part of a magical scheme that makes the pyramid a energy producing machine or a pump house or even a nuclear facility. Forget all of that. The one thing we know is this sarcophagus is a load bearing solid seamless craved out granite box. It is capable of holding up massive loads going to the top of the pyramid while maintaining that square mini tomb size chamber in it without succumbing to the forces bearing down on it. It is very stable in design having the four corners mostly intact. It seems likely that the corner on the one side of the sarcophagus broke off when it was in use either as a tool or when it was hauled up to the level of the pyramid where it resides and may have fallen and lost that corner. Even with the loss of that one corner it is still a stable load bearing solid granite box. Granite is used on the walls and ceilings of the King's Chamber precisely because it is harder and better at distributing loads from the heavy mass of the entire pyramid structure above it. Limestone might not have worked as well being less of a hard stone.
What kind of tool is the Sarcophagus if it not a crypt for a mummy? We know it is a movable object that can and has been moved around in the King's chamber. It was once moved to investigate the floor below to see if that held a secret passage which it did not. In some places below the floor are granite slabs that also have been removed for investigation . Below some of these floor slabs it was discovered that some are up top of half depth slabs which can be removed leading to access to the footing of the granite wall stones in some parts of the interior parameter of the King's chamber. That becomes interesting because there is one or more polished granite stone at the base of the king's chamber that appears to be non load bearing. One that is missing revealing the exit back to the Grand gallery out of the pyramid is also one that would have looked non load bearing . The removal of a non load bearing stone whether it appears load bearing or not or if it is load bearing would need a substitute stone put in it's place for any load bearing requirements needed. If one of the stones in the walls had a hidden release behind it the floor could be lowered and the sarcophagus could be put on rollers or ball bearings an and slid though the wall so far that the stone moving would fall into a slot behind it and the sarcophagus would take it's place. so that the side walls would still be supported whether or not load bearing is required. Then it would act like a fail safe system or an air lock on a submarine if fill or stone balls started pouring out behind the wall that would otherwise kill every one in the king's chamber --that fill or debris would just fill up the granite box where it could be safely removed incrementally. that's the likely real purpose of this solid carved out granite box in the shape of a sarcophagus...Once the debris and fill is all removed and the passage is clear a person could get in the one side of the box duck under the supporting side wall of the King's Chamber and then re-emerge in what ever passage or space might be behind those polished granite walls. This so called sarcophagus has a practical purpose on that service axis of North South maybe connecting the East to west axis that maybe hidden from view.
The sarcophagus is like a horizontal load bearing elevator. I keep saying load bearing because it maybe a load bearing stone has to be replaced as fast as it is pushed though or if not load bearing then it is just a safe holding bin for fill behind the walls blocking the hidden passages. When the tomb was sealed the granite box could have been broken up into bits and taken out or used as fill inside. Unfortunately the manufacturing of this granite load bearing box would have been very expensive . It could have been left there as an artifact or as a fake tomb to make visitors believe the tomb had already been robbed or it may have remained there because it still provides access? The interesting thing discovered in the air vents by the robotic adventure into them was that the air vents have parts that also appear to be variable. I have looked at these vents and my conclusion is that they probably contained cables to operate functions . Again I am referring to that north south axis though the great pyramid I call the service axis. I am looking for the sacred axis . That granite potentially load bearing box appears to be the way to transition to the east /west axis. The North South Axis was very well plugged up with granite and limestone stops that could be raised and lowered. I does seem that priests could enter this monument when necessary for rites or festivals or to service the pharaoh if buried somewhere inside if so.. The realization that the sarcophagus has a practical use probably will be verified once others realize it too.
The way it will be verified is because it has to work like a key to a lock and that just means it has to fit though a wall panel whether it means removing some part of the floor or raising the sarcophagus to a higher level It maybe that the control panel to pull back the stone from the wall from behind or push it forward would be facilitated with cables strung though the so called ventilation shafts. The reason I can say it is probable is that the angle of the vents allows for the operation of a counterweight. One angle of one vent is different than the other There are plenty more mysteries to solve. I think there is a good chance I solved this one in part. Time will tell. I also figured out how the pyramid could have been built quickly meaning in about 20 years. I do not believe any ramps inside the pyramid or outside of it were ever needed to drag stones up the pyramid. I figured it out because an army of workers only has to walk to the top of the construction over and over again to do most of the heavy lifting. I discovered that Egyptians were not so dumb as we think they were. No aliens were required in any part of the construction either. The angles of the exterior walls of the pyramids are much better for moving stones up than the more gentle grades pictured by all the ramps. The least sharp an angle could be is found at the diagonal floor of the great gallery leading to the King's chamber. The Egyptians had to move stones into place much more quickly with as little physical effort as possible. That's a different story and I am not publishing it yet. I learned how the ancients really did it thinking about how I would do it today if I wanted to build it from scratch. I would want to get a stone up to the very top of the pyramid in less than 5 minutes. Thinking of placing that giant gold encrusted cap stone on top of the pyramid is what reveals how every stone in the pyramid and it's outer casing and interior had to be lifted. The cap stone was actually one of the heaviest pieces there was. Moving it up something like 500 feet and of course getting it all the way from the quarry up the Nile and from the Nile up the western bluff to the base of the pyramid was beyond anything a lot of helicopters can do today. The cap stone on the pyramid was designed to be visible for miles. It was very big and very heavy. There is no way you could build any ramp at any angle to get it up there. That does not mean the ancients could not do it almost effortlessly and they did and I know how they did it.
