Chambres et couloirs de la pyramide de Khéops
Chambres et couloirs de la pyramide de Khéops, Internal chambers and corridors in the Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt
The internal structure contains multiple chambers, including the King's Chamber, Queen's Chamber, and the Grand Gallery connected by ascending and descending corridors.
Built between 2589 and 2566 BCE during the Fourth Dynasty, these passages represent the first use of chevron vaulting in architectural history.
The internal chambers and corridors reflect ancient Egyptian beliefs about the afterlife, with specific pathways designed to guide the pharaoh's spirit to the heavens.
The descending corridor extends 105 meters into the bedrock, while the Grand Gallery rises at a 26-degree angle for 47 meters toward the King's Chamber.
The Queen's Chamber features two narrow shafts discovered in 1872 by Waynman Dixon, containing ancient artifacts left by original construction workers.
