Inside the Pit Beneath the Floor of the King's Chamber
What textbooks rarely tell you about the Great Pyramid of Egypt is that there was once a large gaping hole in the northwestern corner of the King's Chamber.

For a time this pit was uncovered, before being covered over with wooden planks, then a grate and now it is covered with metal sheeting in such a manner where you may not even know it is there.
But the pit is there and I’ve finally managed to track down pictures of what it looks like inside and I present them in this video.
Furthermore, I also look at geophysical data from the 1980s and 1990s, the results of which tell us that there are a number of cavities beneath the King's Chamber, but why? What was their function?
I compare the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid to the Upper Chamber of the Red Pyramid, the latter having a huge gaping hole, which looks to be affected by water erosion.
