Queen’s Chamber Shafts and their Meaning...

Following Adam Rutherford and the Christian school of pyramidology the core symbolism of the Pyramid is that though the human race is fallen (the descending passageway), a way was offered the human race toward Heaven by the giving of the Law to the Hebrews (the first ascending passageway), the gift of the Christ and the ensuing Christian Age (the Grand Gallery) and the final ages of tribulation before the return of Christ (the upper horizontal passage).


Below is a drawing of that horizontal passage from the Great Step to the King’s Chamber.  It has been interpreted in Christian tradition as symbolizing the tribulation that takes place on earth before Christ’s second coming. There are two low sections through which a human must duck to enter, the first leading to the antechamber and the second leading to the King’s Chamber. These are two “doors” associated with tribulation.  


The two doors found near the end of the shafts starting in the Queen’s Chamber seem to symbolize the same thing.  A Biblical principle elucidated in Genesis 41 when Joseph interprets Pharaoh’s dream is that two separate symbolisms have a single interpretation.  These two sets of doors seem to have a prophetic meaning related to the times of trouble coming on this earth.  Rutherford always suggested that there was a change of chronological scale in the horizontal passageway. Throughout the rest of the Pyramid, Rutherford used the scale of an inch for a year. But the key to find the scale for the horizontal passage was never suggested.  (See one conjecture here...)


The Director of the AIP thinks that these newly discovered doors in the Great Pyramid offer the key to finding what the horizontal scale may be. He thinks the formula may be taking the date of the discovery of the first door (pictured below), and the date of the discovery of the second door (also pictured below), and dividing that amount of time by the distance between the doors.  See that calculation here.


Is anyone tracking with this?  Only the most barebones information has been placed here to generate responses and ideas from those who are interested.  You do not need a degree in Egyptology to post here! Are you an explorer?  Let’s hear from you! You can win a paid honorary membership to the AIP! (see below...) Submit your ideas/calculations here... 

 

Submissions that are credible, reasoned well, and presented neatly will be featured on the pages of the American Institute of Pyramidology, and each researcher will be awarded an honorary paid membership to the Institute.

The shafts in the Kings Chamber

...have been visible since the King’s Chamber was entered in the 9th Century.

But the shafts in the Queens Chamber

...had to have the outer limestone removed to be found, in 1872.


Rudolf Gantenbrink

...invented a robot to explore the southern shaft in the 1990s, 214’ (some accounts say 213’) (65 meters) to a door.


It seems plain it was the intention of the designers of the Pyramid for these shafts to be explored only in modern times

....showing the principle of progressive revelation...


What do they mean?

Both Queen’s Chamber shafts end at a door...behind which there is another door.


Are there “two doors” anywhere else in the Pyramid?

Yes, the two antechambers between the Great Step and the King’s Chamber are like two doors...


So what is the meaning of the doors?

Read on... :-)
