01 Introduction
Just like Emilio Salgari, I am writing this book without stirring away from my home, without ever having been to Egypt, and never having had an opportunity to visit the Pyramid of Cheops. However, we live...

What is most striking is the size of the Grand Gallery; not only does the length from the north wall to the south wall correspond to 47.84m, but also its height, measured along the axis of the gravitational force, is 8.60m. However,...
If you have got here, you should have an idea of the kind of solutions that I have to offer. These are not simple things, but I promised reasonable explanations and I think I have kept my word. We leave now the Grand Gallery to enter the Antechamber...
Now imagine passing under the block with the grooves and advance along the short passage that leads to the King’s Chamber: the block on the right side, currently broken into three parts, was originally a single granite...
At this point, we should be going back to the Antechamber of the Portcullises to describe the hydraulic mechanism, but since I’m afraid of forgetting the issue of the double vault at the main entrance, I prefer to address it here. In the previo...
Returning to the Quadrivium, described earlier, we may deal with another part of the pyramid also subjected to numerous conflicting theories. That is the Service Shaft: a tunnel that follows a tortuous path downward until it joins...
Back to the Quadrivium, we may wonder why the stretch to be occupied by five wooden beams is so long and why the floor of the Grand Gallery starts in two stages, by sketching a step leaving a depression 2 cubits long, on the upstream- side of the hig...
Now let us take a look at how things should have proceeded in the theoretical context of the project. Let us assume that the Pharaoh is dead and that all the controls within the pyramid confirm that everything is good as expected. The Subterranean Ch...
We must take a look again at the Ascending Corridor, which we have a little spoken about, but having its nodus. It goes up from the intersection point with the Descending Corridor, but in abnormal way. Instead of being built...
Inside the Great Pyramid were discovered some ducts (called Ventilation Ducts) of a nearly square section, with sides of about 20cm. Two of these have their origin in the north and south walls of the King’s...
I remember that the ducts of the Queen’s Chamber were discovered almost by accident, since they had no opening directly within the interior of the room. Only the cracked sound in response to a coarse acoustic survey, followed by breaking...
Hard to know exactly what happened then, but the death of Khufu must have created a vacuum in the power structure which probably caused the interruption of the planned closing of the pyramid, or more simply, serious problems...
And now, as is said, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. It is since the beginning of this book I delay the explanation of this part; I am sure anyone reading this far, will be curious to see how I will ward off the last hit, the most...
It is known that the most of the Great Pyramid was built using limestone blocks from local quarries just a few hundred meters to the south. However, limestone of superior quality, almost white and very fine- grained,...
I will conclude this work by proposing a collection of "topics" of the proposed elements in support of my thesis. Wanting to settle all the details in a single design, it will be necessary to establish as the focal point the continuous conc...
