We are fortunate that many explorers from the past have documented their exploration of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The monument has changed greatly over time, with many critical parts broken, relocated, and renovated or replaced.
The ‘Queen’s Chamber’ of the Great Pyramid is particularly difficult to understand because it has been subjected to the most damage from visitors. Recently new testimonies from 1837 have come to light which provide critical evidence to understanding if a sarcophagus is missing from within it.
The entirely unique niche on the chamber’s eastern wall has taunted investigators since before written records. Why is there? What secrets might it hold? The interpretations of explorers have caused tunnels to be dug through it and beneath it. These excavations have accidentally given us critical information to understanding the Queen’s Chamber beyond hunting for a missing tomb.

well now , i have just one question , well several truth be told , but heres the main one . you have the ability to build the great pyramid , the greatest wonder in the world both then and now , and you put the king and queen in it , BUT , you have all that ability but you dont put you're names on it ??????? , yes kufu is scratched on the inside , why ?????? why scratch a name on the inside of something that was never ment to be opend ?????? surely to god you would have youre names on the outside plasterd everywhere !! for the planet to see you are this great you had this built . but nuffin , nuffin . why ?? is it becouse eygptains back then on there chamels stumbled across this thing as they were traveling across the desert . i think its a relic of a much much older civalisation , the the chamel men adopted it and thats where all these mysteries started . handbags around the planet from the fareast to the middeast to the southern americas to turky in tepia . all these things were left by a race of people much much older than anything history is sujesting . where are they ? drowned in the great floods that ravage our planet , not once or twice , but many floods .
I hate the attitude that modern tourism to the great pyramid has degraded the structure in any meaningful amount. In another 4500 years, that pyramid will still be there and people will still be visiting it.
Ancient architect’s channel is pretty good he does a real good job with everything Egypt .today is the first time I’ve seen or heard of your channel and happy to say I enjoyed watching this video ….I just hit the subscribe button and turned on all notifications! Keep up the great vids!
I think you might be right with the sarcophagus theory. When looking at the niche with the tunnel visible, well, it look more like a tunnel than a sarcophagus. But on the old photos, half filled with sand and stones, it looks much more like a ( not fully excavated) sarcophagus than I expected. Since both reports you mentioned, were written during Vyse's excavation work in front of the niche, it is likely, that some debris would have been deposited inside the tunnel and after the backfill, left there.

hiya and thanks from Australia 🙃
Not a tomb
Hey Bro and Chat,
At the 1:25 min mark, I paused the vid to Just admire the wonderful shot of the top of the Grand Pyramid And if you look closely One can Clearly see the there are 2 “flat” sections that cover about 12 courses of Block work from the top down.
What do you rekn?
Very interesting video. Thank you! I have often wondered if the queen’s chamber niche space is directly aligned with the center line of the pyramid. Any knowledge on that? Also, as an informational tidbit (new to channel, haven’t caught up on previous, so don’t know if this has been brought up or known or not), Zechariah Sitchin’s work indicated that the niche once contained what was called “The Howler” which was supposedly removed long ago when the pyramid was “decommissioned”(?). He claims that the back of the niche looks ‘eroded’ in smoothed rippling patterns (visible in many of the photos), which he tentatively ascribed to the operation of The Howler, as a kind of plasma erosive action. In addition, he says that the small side niches in the Grand Gallery once contained large crystals that shined in several colors, which were, again, removed during “decommissioning” and were destroyed, taken far away, or given as gifts to different personages. Since most of this type of information supposedly came from Sumerian or Mesopotamian cuneiform tablets (?), (along with Sitchin’s own studies of expeditions to the pyramid), what he has written may give insight as to the original function(s) of the pyramid, along with events that may have happened there after the “decommissioning”. Just a suggestion.
Anyway, thanks again for this video.
If Vyse put all that rubble in the niche, maybe he left the beneath the queens chamber mostly empty.
This might explain evidence of a 'tunnel'
More click and wordsmith salad. Please! With the tombs. Why?
The pyramids are not G-dam tombs.
I don't take it for GRANITE.
At 8:20" Caviglia was always off digging in Mummy pits" . The Queen's sarcophagus was in the niche sitting on the granite or marble block and the treasure hunter brain of Caviglia figured the treasure she had was behind the sarcophagus so he destroyed it to find her treasure and left the ruble . Sometime around 1817.
you alway's have great video's that are vary well detailed. i am still waiting for someone to find the secret room that thoth made. because thoth did build that pyramid.
Why are there vertical indentations running up the pyramid?
Excellent. Have noticed that recent translations of many ancient egyptian documents and inscriptions are showing subtle changes that change our interpretation of the meaning or worse, make the meaning unclear. Press on and get more data is the lesson !!
Another fascinating video. Thank you for continuing to make these.
In the old photos, with all that rubble in it, the visible part of the square cavity inside the niche looks even more like a sacrophagus than it does today.
for the layman, can you do a general video of the great pyramid and start from scratch and explain each chamber and each passage way and those window/vent things and all that? I'd rather learn it from you. I don't always know what you are talking about when you reference things. Thanks.
Cheers bro, nice work!

It is already clear to me, that any further praise of your channel, and Matt's AA's channel, would be superfluous and redundant. However, both of you do deserve high praise for your intelligent analyses, respect for one another's work and recent collaboration. Bravo. This is to everyone's benefit. We "Happy Amateurs" are indebted to the both of you.
Great work!
Hawass is a joke and tries to make Egyptian archaeology his exclusive fiefdom for his own self-aggrandizement and enrichment. Usually, in any matter of the slightest disagreement among archaeologists, he's dead wrong.
Very interesting!
Probably the great pyramids originally were empty. Very carefully constructed and oriented to convert infrared sun radiation into microwaves to be collected at the bottom chamber. The empty boxes probably are microwave resonant cavities carefully constructed to produce the surface waves so the frequency can be stepped down. A similar project was initiated few years ago and I don't have more information on it.
One thing I could add, is that you see the English egyptology side, as in France from when I was young, we always had learn about French Egyptology school, particularly in the nineteenth century and last twentieth one, for king valley excavations and studies about some mummies , in a biological way..
Some hypothesis must be made, because some of them as for the queen's sarcophagus are linked to very thin impressions done by men well educated to ''lie if necessary for state reasons ''….
I would not be so sure there was not or there was a sarcophagus, or it had been taken away out of view, or put under the carpet to dissimulate a under tunnel, that has to be dissimulated for further research.
One thing is the european digging, one other thing is the locals protecting their history. Not sure one of the explorers lied, if this is true the sand was a proof there is something closed under, so this proof needed to be dissimulated, so the under tunnel closed by a big heavy stone. I did not understand where are the rocks we see on the old photographies. The sarcophagus could have been partly included in the niche, and destroyed, pieces thrown in the excavation of the under tunnel. All are hypothesis, and there is only one way to verify them. Us we can't close any door with granite! 🙏💚🧡
eagerly waiting for this.
to watch repeatedly.
Am I the only one who is annoyed that the niche is off-center?
What prompted Vyse to dig into the floor in front of the niche, in the first place? If he thought there was a void (say a corridor) below, what was the reasoning?
Great video by both HFG and Ancient Architects on this topic.
Great video. Well done Sir
