I recently received a message from a viewer of the Ancient Architects channel asking about something they had spotted in a video by my good friend, History for Granite.
Back in March 2023 when he analysed the newly discovered North Face Corridor, at 3 minutes and 48 seconds into his video, Granite shows a still of the Great Pyramid chevron blocks, which are located just above the opening to the Descending Passageway.
The eagle-eyed viewer spotted something on the upper right chevron: a square panel of hieroglyphs etched in stone, neatly incised and laid out.
Not many people know that these hieroglyphs are there, being positioned at part of the pyramid that is off-limits to tourists.
So, who made this inscription on the Great Pyramid limestone, and what does it say? Well, in this video, you’ll find out.
