ABSTRACT

That the idea of the Great Pyramid being a royal tomb has always been the one to find more general acceptance than any other is, no doubt, because it appears the easiest way of disposing of the problem, and also because most of the other pyramids have evidently been intended as such. Though the authors have dealt with this aspect of the Great Pyramid in our previous volume, it is desirable to introduce it again here, not only for the benefit of new readers, but to submit additional evidence and facts that further study has revealed. Also, unless the tombic theory is seen in its proper perspective, the real significance of the structure cannot be appreciated as it should be. The fabled wealth, however, proved to be of no more substance than a dream, and nothing was discovered save empty passages and chambers, and an empty coffer in the (so-called) King’s Chamber.
