Here therefore is the information we discovered. As most people are probably aware the Great Pyramid at Giza is still closed to the general public. We were able to enter with special permission one evening and could see exactly what work has been going on since March. The Grand Gallery was still being cleaned when we entered and the ladders and cleaning materials were more than evident. We can also confirm that new electrical cables have been installed for upgraded lighting systems within the pyramid. These steel wire armoured cables do indeed run up into small access ways - photographs of which can be seen on many other websites depicted as power sources for new secret excavations. These cables are however to power the upgraded lighting system, ventilation system (which has been viscously installed into one of the star shafts) and the Closed Circuit Television system which is present in both the King’s and Queen’s Chambers. In the King’s Chamber it was noted by Michael Baigent (author of The Exilier and The Stone and Ancient Traces) that the part of the ‘lid’ of the ‘sarcophagus’ is no longer present. It should also be noted that we had full run of the pyramid and could not find any evidence of ‘secret excavations’. We were lucky enough to have a special lecture followed by a question and answer session with Dr Zahi Hawass. At this lecture he confirmed that the ‘door’ in the star shaft would be opened in a live international broadcast on New Years Eve / Day 1999/2000. He also confirmed that the pyramid would indeed receive a golden capstone (he refused to call it a benben) on New Years Eve and that Jean Michel Jarre would indeed play a concert for the millennium. Dr Hawass also stated that they intend to remove all camel and horse riders / traders from the Giza plateau in the near future. He also restated his commitment to close the pyramids in rotation to enable continued restoration. He also pointed out that it was his desire to close the monuments permanently and enable visitors to ‘virtually’ enter them with the aid of IMAX films. Robert Bauval, Graham Hancock and John Anthony West were involved in a fairly lengthy and at times heated (although still with the new found respect and friendliness) debate with Dr Hawass for a special documentary for South African Television along with another for Americas Fox Network. Unfortunately Bauval and Hancock were unable to dive off of the harbour at Alexandria to see the newly discovered finds due to bad weather and illness of the dive leader. This is being rescheduled for a later date. On a more general note, now is an ideal time to visit Egypt as the number of tourists is greatly reduced after the trouble earlier in the year. Although security is tight it is reassuring rather than oppressive. Finally from the eyes of us here, virgin visitors to Egypt, we cannot recommend enough a trip to this fabulous country. By reading this you are showing a genuine interest in the place and its fascinating history. Its splendours cannot be imagined by viewing them on a monitor or in a book, the only way to learn and discover is to visit. The Noise Room would like to thank Robert Bauval and all at Quest Travel (Mohammed Nazmy, Medhat, Bassam El Shamma and Imil) for this incredible opportunity and for looking after us so well.
