The layout of the chambers and passageways within the various pyramids has always intrigued me. The high degree of accuracy and attention to detail that has gone into the design, construction and finishing of the Giza pyramids is blatant and fastidious. It all seems so mysterious yet purposeful, and many questions naturally arise. For example, the King's Chamber is smoothed and polished to within a inch of its life, but the slabs in the relieving chambers are noticeably rough on one side and smoothed on the other side. Given their positioning, interestingly, the rough side is the side I would expect to find polished. This is likely by design rather than oversight: Why? ....
Every time I see the photograph below (re the golden angle of resurrection) I can't get passed visualising the section highlighted in the red box. There are differences between the two images of course. It is likely an inclined sarcophagus that is represented, but imagine that detail elongated and the likeness of the Grand Gallery starts to form. Does anyone else concur?
