Secret of
Pyramids
The Pyramids of Giza have been
objects of many conspiracies over
years. Many people believe that
Pyramids are a link to an ancient lost civilization, and may still contain evidence to prove it. Many conspiracy theories regarding secret chambers and passageways within
pyramids exist to this day.
These conspiracy theories became even more widespread in 1993, when Dr. Zahi Hawass announced that
Great Pyramid of Khufu was to be closed to
public for a year. The reason given for
closure was to facilitate cleaning, conservation and restoration of
interior chambers in
Great Pyramid.
However, conspiracy theorists believe that
Egyptian authorities had uncovered evidence of a lost civilization in
Pyramid, and were secretly excavating it to reveal more information.
During
conservation process in 1993, robots were used to explore
small ventilation shafts leading from
"King's Chamber" and
lower "Queen's Chamber" in
Great Pyramid. An intriguing discovery was made: partway through
shafts of
"Queen's Chamber" were "doors" with handles.
In order to prove
transparency of their work and debunk any conspiracies, Dr. Zahi Hawass decided to partner with National Geographic to explore beyond
"doors", and provide a live telecast of
exploration to
rest of
world.
After much publicity,
expedition commenced, with footage telecast live around
world. During
last minute of
show, a camera was sent in a hole made in
"door" of
shaft, revealing another "door" behind it. And that was when
show finished. Conspiracy theories started sprouting, asking
following questions: "What's behind
2nd door? Why did
show end so abruptly? What are they hiding from us?"
