Ancient Machine Used to Protect Great Pyramid Pharaoh in His Afterlife Revealed http://rgn.bz/iCo5
Both in life and the afterlife, protection was essential for the pharaohs. An Egyptologist studying Giza for the last 30 years says that devices were put in place at the Great pyramid in an attempt to protect the tomb of Khufu. The series of grooves and blocks have been described as a “primitive machine”.
This security system is the subject of a special episode of the Science Channel's “Unearthed” program which is airing at 10pm EST on July 12, 2016.
Live Science describes the means of protection as “a series of grooves and blocks that are hidden beneath the walls of the pyramid.” They write that “scholars have known about this system since at least the 19th century, [however] the TV show uses computer animations to present a reconstruction. The animations show how blocks were dropped down grooves near the King's Chamber after the pharaoh' burial.” Egyptologist Mark Lehner leads the Ancient Egypt Research Associates (AERA) and describes the mechanisms in more detail for those who watch the episode.
