FWIW: Houdin is an outsider- the tight-knit clique of Egyptologists have
rejected his theory - sight unseen; even though it makes far more sense
than any alternative to an architect. Hundreds of architects in France
have seen this - and none can come up with a better solution - which
does NOT make it right, of course. There is always brute force.
The crucial piece of evidence in support of an internal network of
spiral tunnels comes from a microgravity test carried out in 1986 which
is probably how Houdin (an i less than a magician?) got involved. French
scientists had found that peculiar anomaly - a less-dense structure in
the form of the spiral ramp within the pyramid.
"They had it in the drawer for 15 years because it could not be
explained. But when we put my drawings over it, there it was," M. Houdin
said. "It is strong evidence, but not proof, that the tunnels still
exist inside the pyramid and that they were not filled in," he said.
Talk about a "$uper -Geraldo- $pecial" grand opening !! That fool is
probably foaming at the mouth to get an invite - so as to make amends
for the giant Al Capone vault fizzle (also in '86 curiously).
Matter of fact - Geraldo could be behind this whole thing ;-)
