The Secret Doors Inside The Great Pyramid of Khufu
The interior of The Great Pyramid of Khufu has always fascinated people due to its complexity. Back in the early 90s (1993 to be exact) Khufu was closed off for a year for scientific research and conservation.
A robotics expert, Rudolf Gantenbrink, was brought in to help the conservation clean/lower the humidity of the pyramid and reach areas that were not accessible by humans. Secret “air shafts” were discovered in the Queen’s chamber back in 1872 and at first it was thought that they were there to regulate air flow but it was later discovered that they lead to a secret door. Since the shafts are 21x21cm (8.2x8.2in) large, it was impossible for humans to fit inside and investigate where they led to.
Once Gantenbrink sent his robot (Webwawat) inside the ducts to investigate and reach what people back in 1872 couldn’t they made two very interesting discoveries.
1) They found a small door with two bronze handles which they eventually drilled through.
2) After the robot sent its probe through the 1st handled slab (door) it found another, more roughly hewn limestone slab, containing visible cracks.
No one knows that these doors are there for. The ventilation theory went out the door because air couldn’t get through. One theory is that they have an astronomical function; the southern shaft connected to the star Sirius, and the northern shaft linked to Minoris, Ursa, and Beta. Stadelmann believes that these shafts are not for ventilation, but are tunnels through which the king’s soul will rise to the stars that never darken.
On this day, 17 April 1943, black students from Howard University staged a sit-in at the Little Palace Cafeteria, a segregated restaurant in Washington DC. One of the organisers of this and other sit-ins in the city at the time was Pauli Murray, a young African-American activist and feminist who identified as part female and part male, whose only significant romantic relationships were with women. Murray helped organise another sit in the following year until the University ordered its students to desist. DC eventually banned segregation in restaurants in 1953.

This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
