One of Rand's major aims, in trying to understand the hidden geometry of the Giza site, was to try to locate this 'secret chamber'. The notion seems to have originated in a document called the Westcar Papyrus, now in the Berlin Museum, which seems to be a New Kingdom copy of a Fifth Dynasty original (soon after the time of Cheops, or Khufu). It tells how Cheops asked a magician named Djedi th number (or precise location) of Thoth's secret chamber, and was told that it could be found in a flint chest in a building called the Inventory. But no one, Djedi added, would be able to obtain the number until the coming of three kings as yet unborn... The papyrus breaks off at this point.Excerpt from The Atlantis Blueprint

In their book Keeper of Genesis, Robert Bauval and Graham Hancock make an interesting suggestion. Bauval regards the Giza pyramids as a 'reflection' on the ground on the three stars of Orion's Belt, and he and Hancock explain their belief that the secret chamber can be found reflected on the ground where the 'vernal point' - the location in the heavens of the spring equinox - was located in 10,500 BC. This was under the rear paws of the constellation of Leo, and Bauval and Hancock go on to suggest that the chamber is therefore located under the rear paws of the Sphinx.
More recently, Nigel Appleby has proposed that the secret chamber will be found at a spot on the ground that is a 'reflection' of the star Sirius, which embodies the goddess Isis. This location has proved to be on someone's allotment on the outskirts of Cairo, and at the time of writing the theory has not yet been tested. NEXT
