Smile Opener of the Way

On Sept. 17, National Geographic, in association with Z. Hawass, Director of all things related to the Pyramid complex at Giza, are finally going to explore an unopened chamber in the Great Pyramid. It was discovered 10 years ago. It is 200 feet up and at the end of an 8 in. X 8in. Shaft coming out of the Queens Chamber. A door with two copper handles.
A little robot will travel up the shaft and try and drill through the 3 inch thick door to slip a small camera inside.
What do you think is in there?
Kofu's little black book? Scrolls? Dead Martians??

I predict that the robot will malfunction,everyone there will get into a fight,the Egyptian govt will then announce that nobody ever had permission to be messing with the pyramid in the first place and it will be another ten years until someone tries again to see whats behind that door.

Christopher Dunn will commit suicide after hearing the news that it will be at least another ten years before he`ll know if those copper handles are actually wires that run down to the base of the pyramid.

Actually going by the rest of the contents of this enigmatic structure I reckon they'll find ...

.... absolutely fuck all!

Those ancient Egyptians were just pot heads who decided to take the piss in a really big way, they laughed themselves silly imagining all the future "experts" that would waste years of their lives studying a building with absolutely no purpose at all!

They also laughed themselves silly imagining all the future engineers trying to work out how they had achieved it when they themselves were so damn high at the time that they couldn't even remember how they'd done it.

Talking

perhaps they will find proof that Egypts gods are real and eveything else is hogwash. Believe me if I had to worship any god it would be Ra.

Thoth! That's it. The missing "Books of Thoth" written on Jade tablets I think, can't remember if there were 12 or 24?

Question

Just out of curiosity, how do they know in advance that the door is three inches thick?

Cool

Good question, I don't know, that is what it said in the paper. Maybe over the past 10 years they already checked in there in secret to "sterilize" the room for public viewing. (wouldn't want to find anything disturbing.)
