Its now one year since I exclusively released the 51 photographs from the Great Pyramid’s Queen’s Chamber Northern Shaft, taken by the Pyramid Rover robot back in 2002. Watch the video here:
For nearly two decades, these photographs had never seen the light of day and if I had never started a search, contacting various people to track them down, well I genuinely think they would have been lost to history, buried in an online archive for eternity.
As many of you know, there were anomalies in the shaft, the main one being an opening, which somebody named ‘Sibson’s Window’ after me (thanks Manu Seyfzadeh!), and we can see scratches on the floor next to the window, as well as a lot of debris. This is still a mystery.
There are more anomalies, and since the pictures were published, various people contacted me, from archaeologists and well-known authors to independent researchers, bloggers and so on. It got people talking, which was fantastic.
Now, one year on, and as I’m currently working on a new project regarding the pictures from the Queen’s Chamber Northern Shaft, I would like to invite you, the viewers of the Ancient Architects channel, to once again view the 51 pictures from inside the shaft.
I would be grateful if you can comment your thoughts, observations, ideas, hypotheses and so on, in the comment section below and if you point out anything I’ve not yet noticed, I will of course credit you in the piece of work I’m putting together.
All images originated via the Ancient Architects channel, acquired through a private contact. Please ask permission to use them. Please subscribe to Ancient Architects, Like the video and please leave a comment below. Thank you.

I’m currently 1 hour into a script for a full review and a new hypothesis on this shaft. I am contemplating whether to publish it in written PDF form or make a video. But your help and input is welcomed! Thanks for watching everyone!
i noticed three things.
First the overall attention to maintain dimension of the shafts is amazing.
Second the walls and ceiling of the shafts show clear marks of chisel work.
Yet the floor. Smooth as silk.
Third i was struck by the stone plug at the end. The two vertical slits in the stone remind me of physics experiments that deal with wave forms. Experiments that focus on interference patterns of incoming wave forms.
This shaft i suspect a wave guide similar to what is used in microwave systems.
i don't think these are tombs. Perhaps they were used for that in later years. No i think these were communication receivers. From who or where i don't know. But i believe that is what they are.
Imagine the power of being able to listen to the gods. And being able to prove it by guiding the skeptics into the inner chamber. They hear these strange alien voices echo all around them. They nod and shut their critical mouth.
Ka Ching and the priest hood get another fat payday.
Just saying.
Thanks for providing this video. To see the chisel marks made thousands of years ago.
Priceless.
The rubble is way more interesting next to the tracks. Is that what's left of the original rubble?
I wonder if the new rover could go into that opening??? that is if the authorities allow this. Cheers Rosemary Perth Western Australia (71 yrs)
I always watch your channel because it's the most interesting. Your work with these almost totally lost photos is amazing. Well done.
as for the slanted opening in the shaft. the shaft is at a slope so any feature parallel to the ground will appear to be slanted from within the shaft
Just a stray idea: it would be interesting if, when showing the pictures, you had some kind of schematic or outline of the pyramid and its internal structures on screen — that would then allow you to indicate the location in the pyramid of the particular image we were looking at. Great work with these pictures overall. I find them fascinating.
I’d revisit Nefertitis shaft
X
I guess the really boring theory is that the window is just a cut in the rock, and that the debris lying next to it is from that exact cut.
I watched the original video and concluded the pyramids seemed to be power stations and remembered a story about pyramids and their inherent powers based on the precision of their construction. It was in relation to perfect pyramidal shapes being capable of sharpening razor blades placed underneath them. Provable or not it gave me an early indication theses structures were energetically significant. As i see things now it's completely apparent that none of the pyramids was built as a tomb
at 9:53, if you look at the right wall, around the middle of the wall, towards the right edge of the video, there is almost a perfect half-circle on the wall. You can see some shadow to it so it looks like it's textured, and some coloring around the inner edge of the half-circle. Looks almost like someone tried to drill it (the discoloration being could be dust from the drilling).
take a few sterilized rats, air tag them and let them go in the shaft
It seems part of a drainage system…
Wow it's been a year already ffs where does the time go
Studying the known internal lay out of the Great Pyramid from a construction point of view it appears the floor of the northern shaft is made of considerable sized slabs separate to the walls and ceiling which appears are caved out of single blocks sitting on theses slabs. Why not hollow out a whole block like a chimney flue? Easier to produce and fit within the core masonry of the pyramid. Or is it constructed like this to allow for movement, expansion and contraction of the pyramid?
Maybe it already exists in your video's, but what I"d love to see is a 3D representation of the path of the shaft as a side image with the specific locations of these shots indicated, so we'd have a context to the location of the curves of the shaft. I picture the vid opening with a 3d orbiting of the 3D shaft with the camera oriented from a level up and down perspective, and then shrinking the full 3D shaft length along one side of the screen with the slide show of images numbered, with their respective numbers appearing along that 3D side image as the slide show progresses through the images. Wondering why we can't send a modern camera up there in present day to simply and easily sort this all out. Who's in charge of this, and is enabling these discussions invoke some kind of religious conflict?
The key to understanding the northern shafts seems to be their western bend, that its construction continued after the Granite chamber was being constructed, the requirement that the northern and southern shafts oppose each other, the size difference between the Limestone chamber shafts and the Granite chamber shafts, the variations between the two… canceling the interpreted Ka escape function of both. The real question is, what practical function could the shafts serve? There seems to be answers to these questions. Thanks for your work.
Meh! Symbolic air shafts are just that = symbolic. There are Egyptian underground tombs as an example which contain false door frames carved into the wall of them. Per the Egyptian religion the spirit of the dead would use that "gateway" to enter the afterlife. That is no different really from the artifacts buried with the individual such as spirit servants in the form of shaptis or mummified food and other items believed needed for the afterlife. Symbolism played a big role in their religion. People as usual are reading too much into these things to cater to their imagination run amok.
I said it In the earlier video posted by you that this opening in the shaft looks to be the exit of anther shaft meeting up with this one . You can see it’s on a angle . 🤔
Just a thought: a tunnel that narrows means a gas would either expand or contract depending which way it flowed.
I’m still quite amazed that we still haven’t explored that shaft again it’s been 20 years and our drone technology is 100 times better!?
I know I’ve said this the last time you posted this, but maybe someone might be able to answer me this?
Before you shared the video and pictures last year I remember actually seeing a documentary of this possibly years after or around the same time it was filmed I just don’t remember if it was shown on television or it was on YouTube but after that I never saw it ever since you started sharing it again?
Does anyone else remember seeing a documentary years before possibly just after the time of its filming?
The handle on the left is recessed in the stone, I never noticed this. This needs further discussion — why would one be recessed and not the other?
The ‘stick’ at 3:00 should be recovered, and it it is of a organic material, it could be carbon dated.
your stick possibly iron has hook on bottom and by the pic before it i can see black outline that had a hook was laying there till that probe hit it
It seems to me where the shaft bends left (6.05) it once went straight on (different masonry set on to old shaft floor?) but was diverted later when it clashed with the main ascending corridor (as proposed from a previous video) which was built as part of an enlarged pyramid; assuming the 'queens' chamber was central to an older smaller pyramid. But if they were just air shafts why would the new builders do that, and then leave them without an exit to air?
I think the Queens chamber and the Two shafts from the Queens chamber was all that was intended when they started building the pyramid, and the Two shafts were intended to make it to the outside. After they got as far as the ceiling being completed in the Queens chamber, they decided that the whole pyramid wasn't impressive enough and then proceeded to add the Kings chamber, offset from the Queens chamber and the centre line, and then increased the outside size of the whole pyramid. At some point whilst building the Kings chamber they decided that the shafts from the now abandoned Queens chamber were no longer needed and blocked them off. They then proceeded with enlarging the outside of the whole pyramid and the shafts were lost to time. Basically the whole of the Kings chamber and Kings shafts were a change of plan half way through.
a pointed stick. any monty python fans?
Given the result of Dixon's experiment with smoke all exploratory robots should have been fitted with either side-facing cameras and lights or a similar arrangement. I would suggest the most that can be done without sending up such robots would be to repeat Dixon's experiment using a smoke machine and with observers posted throughout the pyramid and the exterior.
At https://youtu.be/cF3qBqCijJM?t=381 you can see that there are scoop marks that crosses the joint between two blocks. This means that the walls off the shaft were worked on after those blocks were put in place. This might be evident in many places inside the pyramid but at least it says something about it's construction.
Hello, Matt! I'm very proud of you and your work, you deserve the accolade! We're all collectively grateful you did the digging and brought it to the world. IMO, in the now famous "Sibson door picture" it looks to me like it's a keyhole. We use them all the time in engineering/machining. Like a long block fit perfectly in. However, we use them to transfer a torsion force. So my guess stops there as to how they would have used that lol
I currently believe your "contingency" theory is the best one I've heard to date. Even though I don't believe they were meant to be pressurized, if we think back to the shaft idea, it might have been some crude valve? And the groove was made from removing and replacing the stone "key."
Ok so i gotta ask if anyone notices how @10:47 there is what looks like a Baghdad battery connected to one of those copper pipes on the ground? Im thinking what if the Baghdad battery is actually an insulated ancient pipe fitting/connector and the reason why they seem like batteries is because they were cut off at the end whe the copper being taken from it wholesale leaving the interior piece of pipe and iron🤔 . Idk jus throwing it up there
Yes Sir, my apologies, “Sibson’s Window.”
The Queen's Chamber was heavily restored in not too distant times, and also not too long ago, the back cavity with its tunnel and hacked out chamber filled in more than once after exploratory investigation. I do wonder then if, maybe nearer to our own day, that left-over flakey rubble was not swept up after the last restorative moves and repeatedly thrown up to the left of the shaft over a period of a week or two, and if also the smaller rubble on the floor (the squared-off piece – is it even stone – looks modern enough) was treated likewise. Aka that it was used as a dustbin (might this explain the old undated ticket?) as is sadly sometimes to be found in the Giza Plateau – those involved not dreaming that it would one day be possible to get a camera all the way to the top and reveal their sloppiness? Because it was a sacred place, the ancient perfectionists who built the pyramid would never have done the same surely? Oh, and that light-bulb and those metal rods need to be recovered and dated otherwise, along with the round plastic-casing, suspicion like the waters …
Finally, Mat, after all your hard work with your Channel and on this one topic you deserve – along with Khufu – nothing less than to have your name associated with this great puzzle regarding the most famous of ancient monuments. Well done!
I would point out the very clean nature of the right hand side of the shaft just outside of “Simpson’s Window”. The floor is clear to the bottom edge on the right, while the left lots of debris, with a clearly defined line left of the mid line. I suggest this clean floor and edge are the result of water flowing out of the window and on down to the left. Scraping on the floor by the measuring rods would not clean to the corner like we see. Also, that is way too much debris to have originated by degradation of the properly completed shaft, especially when you consider the ticket that had to have gotten into the structure via the niche on the NE corner. The ticket might have been left in the niche, before being pulled inside by air currents that have been reported at the back of the niche, in the video about the French architect and the internal ramp! The niche is on the right of the shaft. Keep up the good work, Matt!
What has the rubble come from? why would it have been left there during construction? Does somebody in recent times have a way in?
Man doesn't do this.
Thank you for trying to create a citizens archeology project
I wondered if you went straight up from the window what would it intersect? An access tunnel or channel to the possible upper chamber.? If the date on that ticket was nowhere around ventilation shaft exploration, I might wonder if it became lodged there, possibly coming out of the window. Haven't all the vent shafts proven to be terminated? What if a vent shaft wasn't closed over very well and that water and debris occasionally got into it. Either the shaft or the window. I'd like to see all the vent shafts pressure smoke tested.
looks like a dead end initiate trap.. whoah the boys say it's elves..
omg 5p pics thx so much
it's a conductor rid for a Tesla towered device in Chrystal and stone
my Adam was just saying there would be a metal rod running thru it kids are intuitive
another says it's a conduction?/ shaft.. I'm not asking
jaydee says I can fit in there they need me in egypt
51 really great pictures, I wonder how many have been taken of that shaft over the years since first discovered.
A year already? wow… That's gone fast. I don't know who's reading this but I hope you've had a great year!
Cant someone just sneak a toy car with a HD camera in the shaft? Would be pretty cool (:
8:29 those marks on the base,do they suggest something sliding ?
Yeah make a pdf but if it's more misinformation and not about the obvious binary magnetic field created in relation to vortex and tourus mathmatics….dont waste your time
This question is probably asked before, but why can't 'we' have another go at this shaft with new technologies? It's not that the shaft is gone, right? Is it just red tape that avoids such thing?
Odd, no desiccated animal bones, insects
The PEECH hypothesis of the Great Pyramid of Giza.
The Great Pyramid is a piezoelectric power generator, Hydrogen / Oxygen fueled, internal combustion. The queen's chamber held water and liberated fuel through pyrolysis / electrolysis, contained a heat source in the Niche and the "air shafts" are conductors. The king's chamber is made of piezoelectric material, the "sarcophagus" contained the igniter and Christopher Dunnn's Giza Powerplant theory appears to be correct about the microwave output from the king's chamber southern shaft, the one with the scoop, or funnel shaped opening.
Shafts on either side of the Queen's chamber have become known as 'airshafts,' though they were never found to have any connections to the Pyramid's exterior. Additionally, these so-called airshafts were initially built without any actual openings into the chamber either. They were formerly covered by 5 inches of chamber wall masonry and hermetically sealed with something like plaster of Paris.
Waynman Dixon discovered these shafts in 1872 after seeing the air passages in the King's chamber, leading him to believe that there might also be air passages in the Queen's chamber. The following is from Piazzi Smyth, Astronomer Royale of Scotland in 1880:
"Perceiving a crack (first, I am told, pointed out by Dr. Grant) in the south wall of the Queen's chamber, which allowed him at one place to push in a wire to a most unconscionable length, Mr. W. Dixon set his carpenter man-of-all-work, by the name Bill Grundy, to jump a hole with hammer and steel chisel at that place. … After a comparatively very few strokes, flop went the chisel right through into somewhere or other."… And then found a rectangular, horizontal, tubular channel, about 9 x 8 inches in transverse breadth and height, going back 7 feet into the wall, and then rising at an angle of about 32° to an unknown dark distance. Next, measuring off a similar position on the north wall, Mr. Dixon set the invaluable Mr. Grundy to work there again with his hammer and steel chisel; and again, after a very little labor, flop went the said chisel through, into somewhere; which somewhere was presently found to be a horizontal pipe or channel of transverse proportions like the other, and, at a distance within the masonry of 7 feet, rising at a similar angle, but in an opposite direction, and trending indefinitely far."
This is from my forthcoming book about the Great Pyramid entitled Reverse Engineering the Great Pyramid. I believe these shafts had an astonishing function in the pyramid, but without the necessary background information it would seem unbelievable to most. Suffice it to say, if you read the book, you may end up understanding why this pyramid was the most advanced technology ever devised.
Additionally, chemical residue discovered within the mouths of these two channels were due to gunpowder burned in them in the 1800s in order to find their exterior locations. This is the reason some believe chemicals were introduced into the chamber, but it is not true.
