ABSTRACT
The Great Pyramid, as the “Temple (or Secret House) of Osiris”, allegorically symbolizes the trials of the future life, the soul of the departed being portrayed as following its passages and chambers, the different parts of which correspond as follows to the allegory of the Ritual. The passage system and chambers of the Great Pyramid are thus divided into three stages: the Hall of Truth in Darkness; the Hall of Truth in Light; and the Plane of Revelation, represented by the level portion from the top of the Great Step, at the upper end of the Grand Gallery, into the Ante-chamber and King’s Chamber. Just as the Grand Gallery is the most prominent of the chambers of the Great Pyramid by virtue of its length and—more particularly—its imposing loftiness, so does the “Hall of Truth in Light” figure prominently in the Ritual.
