pperetti, Do you actually think that those are really "ventilation shafts?" Allow me to clarify myself by saying up front that I haven't got a clue if they are or not, but the construction of the pyramids from the ground base upwards would seem to preclude the necessity for such air shafts not to metion the odd angle at which they were built seem more conducive toward the flow of water rather than air. I've heard that they were believed to be "corridors for the soul" and were aligned with various significant stars of Ancient Egypt. Now, what is really interesting is why would the workmen of old block that one shaft with that stone slab and not the other three. Did somebody bungle the numbers and the shaft not line up with the proper star? (I don't think so since that lot had a pretty good grasp with numbers) Then again if these were indeed air shafts, why plug up just one and not all four. Hope I didn't bore you too much, but would be interested on your views on those ambiguous shafts.
