The Well Shaft in the Great Pyramid at Giza has a "grotto" in it. Inside the grotto, or small and uneven chamber, is the granite plug which once covered the top of the Well Shaft. [Conspiracy theory below]
The Well Shaft is an approximate 28" square throughout as per... [http://www.guardians.net/egypt/pyramids/GreatPyramid.htm]
...so the granite plug must be at least 28" x 28" plus also the depth of the plug seems to be the same at least judging by sketches I have found, and it seems to be rectangular, so it could be larger, but for basic math I'll use the dimensions of 28" cubed just to get started.
If anyone has the exact dimensions of this block please let me know!!!
Granite weighs 140-170 pounds per cubic foot, and a 28" cube of granite therefore weighs (28/12)3 x 140 almost 1,750 pounds. So this is one heavy brick, and that's the lowest possible estimate of the weight. It might be double that at 3,000 pounds...I'm not sure.
So we've got a 28" square nearly verticle shaft covered at the top by a perfectly fit stone weighing between 2 and 3 thousand pounds, probably. That's enough space for one single person to climb up and it can't even be a large person because of the cramped space.
There are theories that someone climbed up this Well Shaft, pushed the granite plug up and out, and broke into the upper section of the Great Pyramid at some point before Al Mamoun dug the Robber's Tunnel into and past yhe blockage at the ascending passage.
Chisel marks on the granite plug in the grotto show that it was lifted out from above, but theorists say that robbers simply replaced the stone behind them after gaining entrance, looting, and then leaving.
I find this incredibly difficult to percieve as possible. One person just can't lift 2,000 pound above their head!
What do you think?
