Update on the Great Pyramid’s Secret Chamber
Brier, who co-authored the book The Secret of the Great Pyramid: How One Man’s Obsession Led to the Solution of Ancient Egypt’s Greatest Mystery, had previously stated that he is 70% sure they will find the internal ramp suggested by Houdin’s theory. With the latest evidence it looks like he is even more convinced. Speaking of the latest findings Brier writes:
… close examination of the photos and high-definition video revealed several important details about the L-shaped chamber. Some of the stones supporting the ceiling were cut into partial arches, and one block was clearly set in place as a keystone to complete the ceiling. This indicates that the room was planned and built, and is not simply the result of stones being taken away (they couldn’t have been removed via the existing 18-inch-wide crevice in any event). Finally, mortar between the blocks that seem to seal off the ramp extrudes into the chamber as would be the case if the blocks were pushed into the chamber from the ramp below. If nothing else, these details strongly suggest the chamber is from the time of the pyramid’s construction, and they fit in perfectly with the internal ramp theory.

Looking good for this theory, at last I think we are getting somewhere
It certainly does seem a lot more credible with this latest evidence.
What I can’t understand is the following;
Why does it take years to just put a battery operated Infrared camera in your pocket (so to speak) and climb up to this notch an take the necessary IR video?
Brier has already been there once or twice, has he not?
Does he need an approval for this 1 hour walk?
This is more strange to me than Houdin’s theory, to be honest.
From these results, I guess some further investigations could be planned, like endoscope, etc.
Maybe some big money or integrities to be overcome is involved?
Infrared doesn’t penetrate stone so there wouldn’t be much to be gained from infrared photographs or video of the chamber. An endoscope would most likely be the least desctructive and most effective in determining if there is more evidence to supprt Houdin’s internal ramp theory. Yes, Brier, like anyone else, would need approval to climb the face of the pyramid legally. There is always a lot of red tape and policy surrounding any investigation into the pyramid, or any monuments of antiquity for that matter. It took nine years after Gantenbrinks discovery of the ‘door’ in the queen’s chamber southern shaft before a small hole was drilled to determine what was behind it, and so I suspect it may be a long time before we see any movement forward on the ‘Houdin chamber’.
