- I have started this page in order to merge the article sections in Khufu, Great Pyramid of Khufu and Egyptian Pyramids. This will allow the reduction in duplication and allow these articles to concentrate on their actual subject. Markh 11:19, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

- In August 2004 two amateur French Egyptologists, Gilles Dormion and Jean-Yves Verd'hurt, claimed that they had discovered, using ground-penetrating radar and architectural analysis, a previously unknown corridor inside the pyramid. If their claim is true, the corridor is unlikely ever to have been violated and could possibly lead to a chamber containing the king's remains. But, as of yet, the pair have been refused permission by the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities to follow up their findings and, they hope, prove the room's existence.
I excised this from the page because it does not belong in an article about construction techniques; perhaps someone can find a better place for it? Bushing 09:15, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] A reader's note:
Construction techniques here are horribly short. no pictures. It needs to be broadened. i read an article on Encarta, they have huge one.
- Feel free to move sections on contruction from Great Pyramid of Giza article! Markh 11:32, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
