The Great Pyramid ‘Dead End Corridor’: Why is it There?

Deep inside the bedrock under the Great Pyramid is the lowest and largest pyramid chamber, known as the Subterranean Chamber, unfinished, unused and, in truth, it’s a big unknown.

It’s full of bizarre features, such as an uneven, sloping floor, an unquarried western side, a large knob of rock on the eastern wall, a square cut in the flat ceiling, and a vestibule-type feature near the entrance, with a huge bedrock fissure running through it.


In my last video I looked at the room’s main focal point, a 10-foot deep. square-cut pit that was dug into the floor, a pit that was extended to 36 feet deep in the 1830s by John Shae Perring, in the hope he would find the burial chamber described by Greek Historian, Herodotus. Nothing was found.


And that leads me to another subterranean anomaly, seemingly the most pointless and unusual passage in the Great Pyramid, and it goes by the name of the Blind Passage, or Dead-End Corridor.


It gets its name for obvious reasons, a small opening in the southeastern corner of the room, opposite the entrance but it leads nowhere. In this video, we take a look at the passage way with new photos and video footage, and we also look at it in relation to the rest of the chamber, as I try to answer the big question: why is it even there?


Special thanks to Luke Caverns for sending me a number of images to use in this video
