This passage is only a trifle over 3 ft. high. From this point the visitor ascends to the Great Hall with its wonderful masonry, with its marvelous jointing and polish, so perfect that neither a needle nor a hair can be inserted between the joints. Passing through an Antechamber one comes to the Kings Chamber. J. This chamber has for a roof nine enormous slabs of granite 18 ½ ft long –it contains nothing now but the broken lidless sarcophagus of Cheops. Its floor is 140 ft above ground. Above the Kings Chamber are five hollow chambers. On the stones of one of them “O” was found in red paint the name of Kufu (Cheops)- Below the Kings Chamber is the Queens Chamber with its wonderful pointed roof- Name of Cheops in red in the interior of the Pyramid- Lepsius.
