Queen's Chamber in the Great Pyramid

Kuningattaren kammio suuri pyramidi

The Queen's Chamber in the Great Pyramid of Giza is a mysterious and intriguing part of the structure. Despite its name, scholars now believe it was not intended as a burial chamber for a queen. Instead, it might have had a symbolic or spiritual purpose.

The entrance to the Queen's Chamber is through a horizontal corridor at the bottom of the Grand Gallery. The chamber is made of finely finished limestone blocks and has a gabled ceiling. There are two air shafts in the chamber, which were originally sealed and only discovered in 1872. These shafts rise from the north and south walls and climb steeply through the masonry above.

                      Passage to the chamber is 1.1 m height

                      End of the passage to the chamber is 1.73 m height

                               1.73 m - 1.1 m = 0,63 m

                               1 / 1.63 = 0.63

                               1 + 0.63 = 1.63 (Golden ratio according to the Bible and Leonardi da Vinci)

                               1.73² = 3

There's still much speculation about the chamber's true purpose and the function of the air shafts. Some theories suggest they were meant for the king's soul or ka to ascend to the heavens.
