Around A.D. 820, a team of so-called thieves broke into the Great Pyramid of Egypt, led by Abdullah Al Mamun, son of the Caliph of Baghdad. They broke in by heating the stone walls with fire and applying vinegar to it. Then they slowly chiseled their way past hundreds of feet of solid rock. They tunneled past gigantic limestone plugs several times. Once they entered the chambers, they found them empty. The lack of finding a sarcophagus or even the traditional aesthetics affiliated Egypt suggests that the Great Pyramid of Giza was not even used as a tomb.
The Great Pyramid's Empty Chambers
Most Egyptologists believe that thieves broke in before them and stole everything. But considering the efforts Mamun’s team had to endure and by noticing the granite plugs already in place, there would be obvious signs of break-in before them. Unless there are other tunnels that still haven't been released to the public, which hints to some kind of a cover-up for who-knows-what- purposes. The lack of evidence and crude explanations of how the Great Pyramid of Giza was built hints that despite the research, a grander mystery still waits to be explored even deeper in the sands of Egypt..

More Research on the Great Pyramid
There is a moment when history becomes a personal quest to decipher the clues left behind, to gather ones own understanding of what happened back then.

The more we learn about ancient civilizations, the more we can learn of the wisdom in this ancient world. Little do people recognize; this long ago past is abundant with intrinsic philosophies, technologies, old religions and sciences that can shed some light in the modern world of today.
