Looting the Great Pyramid - A Step by Step Analysis

The Great Pyramid of Giza was robbed of its treasures thousands of years ago. The passage that all tourists enter today is the Robber’s Tunnel that was presumably used for plundering everything of value inside.

A common observation of the Robber’s Tunnel is that it is extremely accurate for the purposes of bypassing the Great Pyramid defenses. Legends attribute the tunnel to Al-Ma’mun in 832 AD who claims it as his work.

But does this story really hold up to modern scrutiny? Are there still clues left within the tunnel that might reveal the original method of intrusion? What does the tunnel say about who first penetrated the pyramid and the knowledge they possessed? Watch the video and find out!
