After my visit to Giza in 1991, I managed to meet up with Prof. Stadelmann at the offices of the GAI in Cairo. I suggested conducting an investigation of the so–called "air shafts" of Cheops. I was convinced that the shafts mark the first construction phase of the pyramid. They constitute basic elements of great importance. Put simply, a stone structure of such magnitude, built up in layers over a period of many years, is a sufficiently gargantuan undertaking to daunt any builder. But adding diagonal shafts through such a structure so complicates the task that it becomes a builder's nightmare. The builders must have ascribed great significance to the shafts, otherwise they would never have let themselves in for such a massive constructional headache.
Throughout my investigations on site, I was never looking specifically for hidden chambers or treasure – as has often been alleged. I was simply determined to apply common sense and solid engineering data to solving the riddles presented by those shafts. What purpose did they originally serve?
(see "Y Mystery" and "Y4 Mystery" at THE MYSTERY page)
At the time of our discussion in Cairo, Prof. Stadelmann was not yet aware that modern technology could make such an investigation possible. As a result, he was immediately taken by the idea and proposed that we embark on a joint venture project.
I returned to Munich and began preparing a project definition, which I soon sent to the GAI. I suggested using a small robot to investigate the so-called "air shafts". I included the initial design and drawings of the robot, as well as specifications of the overall logistics and team which would be necessary. Even at this early stage I anticipated that the steeply inclined (45 degrees) upper southern shaft might be relatively free of debris and thus easily negotiable, but that the upper northern shaft, much less steep (32 degrees), might be badly clogged and thus, that a larger clearing and cleaning operation could become necessary.

Just a few days left...I checked this morning, I think it said 4. I personally think it's a bunch of hot air inflating a young ego. No one with any sense, would post such a self identifying video to youtube of all places...

the final video clip looks familiar, is that from national geographic?

i suspect a hoax :
Tourists enter through a new brick entrance building, where half a dozen gates are equipped with metal detectors and X-ray machines. Once inside, their every step is closely watched by 199 closed-circuit cameras covering every corner of the sprawling plateau. The images go back to the control room, where guards monitor a bank of 24 screens around the clock
