Hawass thought it was whether he had found Chefren's tomb? Without hesitation, and with 5 witnesses present, he stated, overtly "Dr. Hawass had made the discovery of the century, I asked when his book would be ready, the inspector was surprised, he told me :not many people know that he is writing a book", and then asked whose sarcophagus Dr. I spoke to him regarding the "well shaft" in the causeway, and that Dr. Whilst we were going into our Time Gate night in the great pyramid, in early March, we were accompanied by the inspector, one of the first under the chain of command of Dr. This room was in a far better condition than the bottom of the shaft, which was intentionally left to be littered with rubbish. "The room was surprisingly clean, showing evidence of recent activities, and perhaps even having been cleaned for presentation purposes, as is usual with other Egyptian tombs of significance. The following was said by someone who claimed to have been present during the discovery of the tomb. He obviously avoids answering the question. We know from ancient Egyptian text that the Giza plateau was connected to the god Osiris, who was controlling the underground tunnels at the Giza plateau It only has one tunnel/shaft that we will explore later." After we pumped the water out of the shaft we found 4 pillars and a large sarcophagus. When we discovered it, the shaft was filled with water. Hawass' response: Dear Larry, "The Osiris shaft is a shaft that is located underneath the causeway of the pyramid of Khefra. Also, how is the excavation of the two tunnels that lead off from the burial chamber going?" Specifically: You know it is Osiris' tomb as it is written on the four stelae that he ordered this tomb to be excavated for him. "The final chamber we found was most likely a symbolic tomb for the god Osiris he was believed to control the underground tunnels and tombs of the kings."ġ1/05/01: Larry asks:"I would like to know more about the tomb of Osiris. He then seems to have changed his mind in The Guardian article which is posted on his official site. ZH: "Suzy, this is the 'Tomb of Osiris'." let's go and see what we're talking about." Hawass: ".I discovered that this is what Herodotus talked about, and I found that this is the 'Tomb of Osiris'. This was during the the March 2nd 1999, FOX Network broadcast: ZAHI HAWASS, (Directed of the Giza Plateau, Egyptologist), In newspaper Extra Bladet (Copenhagen), January 31, 1999, "Sandpit Of Royalty", By Dorte Quist In the middle is a large granite sarcophagus which I expect to be the grave of Osiris, the god," At the bottom, which was filled with water, we have found a burial chamber with four pillars. "I have found a shaft, going 29 meters vertically down into the ground, exactly halfway between the Chefren Pyramid and the Sphinx. This is what Hawass had to say regarding the Tomb of Osiris: Thus far, no outside entities, including historians and archaeologists, have been permitted to inspect the Osiris tomb, the Egyptian authorities citing that the Osiris tomb was “closed due to dangerous instabilities in the chamber ceiling” or high water levels, a move that supports the idea that there is something unusual about this tomb that Hawass wants to keep secret. This was an unprecedented move, for never before were American and Egyptian armies mobilized to protect an archaeological excavation, which suggests that more is going on here than the Egyptian authorities are willing to admit. and Egyptian armies placed on high alert while this excavation was going on? Surely, they were not mobilized just to deter thieves from raiding the tomb. Additionally, during the dig, it was rumored that the Giza plateau was closed to the public, guarded by both U.S. Surprisingly, neither Hawass nor any of his associates have ever responded to the charges that the tunnels do indeed proceed farther along under the Giza plateau, a silence that was very much out of character. Then a report released in 2003 by the Egyptian Antiquities Authority stated that the tunnels leading away from the tomb actually went nowhere, a view that was challenged by a group of Egyptologists in the September/October 2000 issue of Archaeology magazine. Later, in an interview with the British newspaper The Guardian, Hawass said that the artifacts retrieved dated the lower tomb, the so-called Osiris tomb, to the New Kingdom, around 1550 BC. Several artifacts were reportedly found about the chamber, but a list was never released to the public.
