Ill ask it hear to get another opinion ive often wondered if the well in the great pyramid leads to a corridor.Egyptians were known for creating entrance ways at the bottom of a shaft it prevented grave robery.And it was done in The Step Pyramid of Djoser. Why create the well in the first place would have took alot of work.Then they create a channel for water to enter it from the nile why? Unless you wanted to flood that to protect something maybe?
Interview with Hawass
HK: Back in June there was supposed to be further exploration of the tunnel leading out of the third level of the Osiris shaft, under Khafre’s causeway. So has the Japanese robot already done its part there? What comes next?
ZH: We did go over one hundred and fifty now into the shaft but we did not go to the end of it, we need maybe a snake robot because of the mud, the problem of the mud.
The Osiris Shaft
After the excavation, I looked down into the water and saw the -remains of four pillars surrounded by a wall. Inside them was part of a large, granite sarcophagus with the lid thrown off. This discovery reflected the words of Herodotus when he said that Cheops was buried inside a granite sarcophagus and there was water near Cheops pyramid. People have always wondered about these words, but no one ever discovered the exact location. Even Herodotus admitted that he never saw the burial with his own eyes, because he would never be able to go down into the shaft. He must have based his writing on the words of guides.
Mysterious Osiris Shaft
In the center of the emplacement, there is a large sarcophagus made of black basalt. The sarcophagus contained the remains of a skeleton, along with several amulets dating to the Late Period. We were surprised to find that there was also some red polished pottery with traces of white paint, which probably dates to the 6th Dynasty.
I guess the only proof of truth here would be an investigation of the spynx's foot. If only there was a way!
Illustrated Sphinx Tunnel page
Hancock and Bauval quote SRI geophysicist Lambert Dolphin, who relayed to me a rather different conclusion in a personal correspondence.
"Next we drilled 4 inch bore holes on the anomalies and inspected the hole with downhole TV. Nothing was found except small cracks. We paid special attention to the front paws, and under the paws. No chambers! I do not believe there are any chambers under the Sphinx at this point in time."
There are three known passageways leading into the Sphinx. One is on the back of the Sphinx near its head. This shaft is short and leads to a dead end. Another is at ground level on the north side of the Sphinx near its hip. This shaft has been explored and leads to a dead end below the water table.

Bulldoze it - then we'll know - to hell with robot insects.
I've been in the pyramid - damn ugly thing. Knock it down I say
The question that pops into my mind is: why go to the trouble of making a narrow tunnel (tunnel that extends from the northwest corner of the lowest level) with at least one branch that apparently goes nowhere?

It should also be understood that a market in antiquities is a fairly recent thing. Any treasure taken from tombs in the distant past would be melted down. Succeeding cultures also feel determined to deface and destroy what came before them. Imagine what might have been lost? Some cool stuff...

The 3rd entrance of the Sphinx that matters and wasn't mentioned is on the right side of the Sphinx behind the right paw. It has been blocked by the square thing Zahi H. had built there. There is a 1926 photo of men at that entrance. [edit on 18-8-2009 by Sargoth]

There is a 1926 photo of men at that entrance. I've tried but can't find it anymore. How come nobody ever mentions that square thing. Anybody know what it's for? Remember what Edgar Cayce said. The entrance to the connecting chambers may not be entered until the time is right, after the changes come. Not word for word but easier to understand.
I seriously doubt there is anything behind the stone plugs of those tiny shafts.
