It's literally against the law to visit any of these chambers. If I skirted the law and managed to get a peek at this... Better bet I'd put my name on that short list of people...
@@WingsOfADream1 unfortunately there are no shortage of disgusting people like yourself that have no problem defacing and ruining structures with graffiti.
Everyone thought they were special and graffitied, just for seeing something great that other humans made🤦♀️ Those names ade forever recorded now as assholes
@@mro4ts457 "Those names are forever recorded now as assholes" Haha! Yes! I never thought of it like that but very well said. Also, this comment made my day.
The relieving chambers are to decrease the amount of weight above the chamber, by making a series of empty spaces. Also, they are spare ceiling slabs for the chamber. The builders likely had the concern that if a ceiling slab collapsed, the entire pyramid would be ruined. But this way, if a ceiling slab collapsed, another one could be lowered down to replace it.
They don't relieve vertical load and are a mystery. Structural engineers are clueless as to their purpose. Your 'spare ceiling' theory is nonsensical being physically impossible
@@davepowell7168 According to Jean-Pierre Houdin, corbel vaults cannot support lateral loads. The grand gallery is a corbel vault, therefore should be loaded only vertically. A saddle roof on the King's chamber would transfer the load laterally towards the grand gallery. Thus they lifted the roof above the grand gallery so the load would be transferred vertically. In order to consolidate the empty space created, they added the other horizonal beams, thus creating the other chambers in the process.
I have concrete proof of what this structure was used for as it really only functions as one thing. The real question is how was everyone so smart to have missed it.🤪
I wish this was longer
"Colonel (Howard) Vyse" was a Brit, NOT a German.
Look at all the graffitis, this is disgusting, these people have no respect. No wonder Hasi Hawass is so strict
Don't worry, in a couple thousand years, that graffiti is gonna be a historical treasure too!

All that graffiti is from over a 100 years ago

Vyse was not German, he was British
They should repair the chamber and give it it's acoustic quality back.
I’d personally love to visit these chambers but I sure as hell wouldn’t graffiti it like this

yo'd need a 20 foot ladder to get up there.

@@davepowell7168 Sorry to disappoint but that's not my like. You're welcome though.

And just when it was getting interesting! 😔
Just smoked a j and this scared me!
Crude edit.
