Treasures ofrepparttar Pharaoh

The Pyramid of Khufu was built byrepparttar 135417 Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops) inrepparttar 135418 4th Dynasty circa 2560 BC, making it over 4500 years old! It is widely accepted thatrepparttar 135419 pyramid was built to bury Pharaoh Khufu when he died. However, many other conspiracy theories abound as to whyrepparttar 135420 pyramids were built, ranging from astronomical observatories to alien artifacts.

Since Egyptian Pharaohs were noted for being buried with their great treasure, Arab conquerors attempted to gain entrance intorepparttar 135421 Pyramid of Khufu in order to plunder it.

They managed to find a few narrow passages that led both up intorepparttar 135422 center ofrepparttar 135423 pyramid, and down beneathrepparttar 135424 massive structure. However, all they managed to find atrepparttar 135425 end of these passages were empty chambers. No mummies or treasure was found inrepparttar 135426 pyramid.

Duringrepparttar 135427 Arabs' excavation ofrepparttar 135428 Pyramid of Khufu, they encountered various boulders and slabs that were used to sealrepparttar 135429 passages and chambers withinrepparttar 135430 pyramid. They also found hidden doors. This probably fueledrepparttar 135431 many myths aboutrepparttar 135432 Egyptian pyramids being booby-trapped, and where a grave robber who managed to get in would never get out alive.

A 17th century Englishman managed to uncover another shaft connectingrepparttar 135433 passages, but still no treasure was to be found.

Two conclusions can be derived from this. One, ancient tomb raiders have long since plundered allrepparttar 135434 treasure fromrepparttar 135435 pyramid, leaving behind nothing but a few empty chambers. Or two, Khufu's mummy and treasure is still cleverly hidden within (or beneath)repparttar 135436 Great Pyramid.
