THE MISSING CHAMBERS OF THE GREAT PYRAMID CHAMBERS THE MISSING GREAT PYRAMID THE A new theory born of geometry, photographic evidence, science and 3-D graphic constructions suggests that a second, mirror- image set of chambers and passageways exists within the Great Pyramid. he Great Pyramid of Giza stands alone as an enigma in time, and this incredible structure has long defied explanation. Much has been written by scholars, math- ematicians, archaeologists, occultists and religious followers alike, adding layer after layer of mystery, speculation and theory to the only remaining wonder of the world. The common explanation is that it is merely a tomb belonging to the Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu, although this is only attributed to a single cartouche high up in one of the so-called "relieving chambers". Over the past 20 years I have studied many theories and, in doing so, built up a large library of information, both rare and mainstream, allowing me to carefully weigh the evi- dence so as to extract the elements which I felt were the most important. My idea is born from basic geometry, photographic evidence, scientific fact and a sound knowledge of three-dimensional construction. The theory I will present here is one which I have not seen explored in any documentation or book prior to this writing. It is my intent to prove the existence of a second, mirror-image set of chambers and passageways inside the Great Pyramid of Giza. [Figure 1] The duplicity of the internal chambers first struck me while I was practising basic geometry on paper with a conventional compass and ruler. Starting by halving the base length, I made this the radius for a circle. Placing a circle at each of the points, I then made a cross in the centre of each of the two bottom circles at 90 degrees to the angle of the sides of the triangle. [Figure 2] This gave me the building blocks of a whole new idea. I believe that everything in life has meaning or purpose, and that everything happens for a reason. With that in mind, I wondered what would happen if I connected the centre points of the circles with the oppo- site circumference. This generated what I have come to term the "Infinite Star". Suddenly I realised that here was also a direct representation of the angles of the ascend- ing and descending passageways of the Great Pyramid. I realised that this shape could be repeated and enlarged, creating infinite pyramids and infinite stars. The other shape which appears is, of course, the pentagram. [Figure 3] I was fortunate to come across the original plan for Washington, DC, and the Pentagon, designed by Pierre-Charles L'Enfant, a French Freemason who was well acquainted with Benjamin Franklin at the time. On it, you can clearly see the Infinite Star and the Masonic Square. [Figure 4] The next thing was to overlay a copy of the internal chambers of the Great Pyramid over my geometry, and it proved to be a perfect match. But something was missing. The more I looked at it, the more I began to wonder: where is the rest of it? The Great Pyramid is a wonder of mathematical design, and yet in the same sense it contains pas- sageways and chambers which are not symmetrical—or are they? I use Photoshop a lot in my work and I decided it was time to see what would happen if I mirrored the chambers. To my astonishment, the missing symmetry suddenly jumped out at me like a startled rabbit from a magician's hat. The strange thing was that the so-called "air shafts" now lined up, as though pointing to something. I laid this image on top and found that everything lined up, including the shafts. My theory of the Master Plan is presented diagrammatically [page 37, top right]. The units of measure are arbitrary, as long as you keep the 51°, 51° and 14° angles. The circles have a radius of half the base, and you will find four duplicate triangles and one large one in the design, all with exactly the same repeating geometry.
