To Haslune,
No advancement in knowledge is made through reading books alone. Every so often a non-parrot has to come along and say the book and sometimes propaganda is wrong.
I am not afraid to say when I think I am wrong. Earlier I said that I didn't know what the purpose of the Grand Gallery and associated chambers was, beyond that it wasn't a tomb. Due to some other information I have come into, I think it may have been a tomb of sorts, and it was refridgerated.
I say of sorts because there are two identical sets of chambers like this. So the pyramid wasn't a tomb for a single individual as portrayed in books, and I have talked before about the twin living spaces near the apex not even mentioned at all in official literature. The "tombs" were refridgerated. There is evidence that someone has been digging in the southern face of the pyramid, in an offset location, which suggests they knew what they were looking for and had a good idea of where to find it. Did they find it? I don't know, I am having difficulty finding information about this southern breach. They might not have dug deep enough or quite in the right location, or were instructed to stop digging.
There is something, or someone not quite dead, still in the other "King's Chamber", something that has been very cold and is today thawing out, and "the powers that be" are getting worried about it because they aren't going have their way much longer. I hope it's not long before the pyramid is flipped back, the right way up.edit on 7-12-2011 by Trafalgar1805 because: (no reason given)edit on 7-12-2011 by Trafalgar1805 because: spelling

'flipped back, the right way up' ...and that means?
Your writing seem to be more in the line of a science fiction book are you testing a plot or story line?

I know the official explanation for the cavities above the chamber are that's it's to redistribute load or something along those lines, but I don't think so. That never made much sense to me anyway. Why isn't there something similar in the "Queen's" chamber? It's deeper in the pyramid, and therefore has greater load.

How do you know there's not?
The only reason we know about the ones over the King's Chamber is because of a crack that was observed to go deeper than would have been thought, followed by investigators blowing open a passage with black powder to see what was in there.

An interesting drawing. I don't know where the ground level entrance to the spiral ramps might be. They might be at or below the base, although I am confident they start at opposite corners of the pyramid. Pierre Houdin's "notch" in the north eastern corner will give access to the upper of one pair of spirals, but I don't know know the gradient and therefore how many turns there are before you get to the bottom or top.

Because the ceiling of the Queen's chamber is the same as King's chamber several levels above. I think it's the "A" shape that redistributes the load in both chambers.

I think the cavities in the King's chamber are there for thermal insulation, and I suspect there are similar layers of cavities below and at the sides of both King's Chambers. Maybe not below the chamber.

Your link to an external image doesn't work, so I don't know what argument you were trying to make. I get a 403 error or something like that: Forbidden Access.
A-shape may not have been the right description. Gabled ceiling may have been better. I am convinced those cavities in the King's chamber are not about redistributing load (the gabled ceiling does that, as it does in the Queen's chamber) and there are a series of similar cavities where the entrance is, therefore suggesting a common function for these cavities. I think that function is thermal insulation.

The link was to a pic of a drawing of a cross-section of the GP. It was intended to illustrate the fact that the King's Chamber ceiling is flat, not arched or "A" shaped.
The Queen's Chamber ceiling is "A" shaped, not gabled.
Try this pic:
Not sure why the other one didn't work. Maybe that one will.

I know the Queen's chamber's ceiling is gabled and the King's flat. My point is that if the cavities above the Kings's chamber before you get to its gabled ceiling are for stress relief, then why not do the same in the Queen's chamber? My point is that the cavities above the King's chamber are for another function, and that function is thermal insulation. The gabled ceiling is for stress relief. There was a similar series of cavities in the entrance to the King's chamber, when the three or so doors were present, suggesting that all these cavities are not stress relieving but for thermal isolation - similar way to the way double or triple glazing functions.

Again, how do you know they didn't do the same above the Queen's chamber?
Short of using dynamite, we might never know.
You're assuming something as fact about the GP which is actually not known.
Besides, it appears to me that the passageway above the Queen's chamber might redirect the weight you're talking about, whereas there is no such passageway above the King's Chamber.

I'll tell you why Egyptologists are desperate to make people think these are weight relieving chambers, it is because the thermal isolation solution (which is the correct one) would suggest the Original Egyptians (those who built the Khufu pyramid before the Ancient Egyptians built the others and the Valley of the Kings) had refridgeration technology, and had a purpose to use it in the two King's Chambers. That would go against the official history of Earth written by the parasites who currently control Earth and want to keep its history a secret, and the Ascension process in limbo.
It is easy to draw pictures of how people think they built them with logs and pulley's and ropes.....
But pictures are not reality. Basic math would indicate that some of those stones would snap logs right in half.
Also ....there is some other indications that would imply that there wasn't even enough Trees to make into rolling logs for all 3 pyramids.

The AE left images of their pulling heavy weighs on sleds - were they making stuff up? They didn't use logs obviously they used sleds as have other cultures. On your second comment, no they will not snap the logs or the sleds, wood has a characteristics called 'compressibility' which prevents weight from crushing wood.
