Clive,


You don’t even seem to have the common sense to understand that, since Khufu’s pyramid was sealed off, there was plenty of time – approx. 4550 years – for grave robbers to enter the pyramid and steal everything on their path, as they did, and has happened to almost all other pyramids and almost all other tombs in Ancient Egypt.

You wrote ; ‘If you were king would you want to leave a passage leading directly to your place of rest’.

You place this purposedly into the wrong context. The Grand Gallery had a symbolic meaning, as had the other galleries, the shafts, etc. And, on the contrary, the AE saved no efforts to block the KC off. The construction of the Grand Gallery must also have been necessary to be able to construct certain parts of the monument, maybe even the KC itself.
