Magazine "Tunnel
Talk" article added to "The Shaft, The Subway & The
Causeway" as page 9.
-
6th December 2003 The
Egyptian Stuff page has now also been completely
revised and updated. Dead items have been removed and the
remaining items have been updated to put them in context.
-
1st December 2003 Hello
again. It has been a long time... "The Shaft, The Subway & The
Causeway" has been subjected to a major revision and update. It
will hopefully provide a more fluid reading experience for new
readers.
-
1st October 2002 We now know
that hidden behind the Queen's Chamber southern shaft door is
another door, and that a similar door to the first one found in
the southern shaft has been found in the northern shaft. The
Towers has its own ideas on what might be found at the end of
the trail. See
the Gantenbrink page for our
musings.
-
26th August 2002 New report
on the Great Pyramid Ventilation System added to
the
Gantenbrink page.
-
8th August 2002 Details of "Gantenbrink's
Door" opening date and method to be used added to the
Gantenbrink page.
-
4th August 2002 More Great
Pyramid ventilation system reports added to the Gantenbrink
page.
-
23rd June 2002 Not much to
report on the "Gantenbrink's Door" saga other than to say that
according to a producer for National Geographic television,
"something should happen" in September 2002
-
1st May 2002 Just to let you
know that the next update on the exploration of the Queens
Chamber southern airshaft has been put back to early May due to
work commitments.
-
17th April 2002 Not so much
an update, more a question of letting you know that the site is
still alive and to report the latest information known to The
Towers on the projected exploration of the Queens Chamber
southern airshaft. Last October, while attending a conference in
London, Doctor Hawass stated that testing of the new NASA robot
was to commence in March 2002. Nothing happened, or at least,
The Towers is not aware of anything having happened. As
mentioned elsewhere, we hope to have an update on the situation
before the month is out.
-
9th December 2001 One of the
most frequent questions received by Towers Online is "what's
happening with Gantenbrink's door?" To answer this question,
a new section has been added to
the Gantenbrink page. It lists the various projects that were
supposed to provide the answer (but didn't) and reports what Dr.
Hawass had to say on the matter when in London on the 20th-21st
October, 2001. Minor revisions have been made to the rest of the
page.
-
30th June 2001: A
new
section has been added to "The Shaft, The Subway &
The Causeway". This section discusses whether the "secret
chambers" described by H Spencer Lewis in the appendix to his
book "The Symbolic Prophecy of the Great Pyramid" (first
published in 1936) actually exist. Lewis used the work of the
eminent Egyptian archaeologist Selim Hassan to suggest that not
only was it highly likely that a network of secret passageways
and chambers exist under the Giza plateau, but that evidence of
such chambers had been found by Dr. Hassan during his sixth
season of work (1934/35) at Giza. In chapter 7 of his book,
Lewis reproduces drawings showing how the pyramids and the
Sphinx are connected with underground passageways that also lead
to "long forgotten reception halls, small temples and other
enclosures" (16th edition, second printing 1988, p181). In
discussing Hassan's report on p190, Lewis states that the facts
it contains "...verify in part at least the things indicated on
the two diagrams shown in this book and undoubtedly the passing
of time will verify other parts of these diagrams." The new
section reveals what I believe to be the actual location of the
chambers discussed by Lewis. My theory is supported with plans,
diagrams, colour illustrations and descriptions reproduced from
Hassan's work. Full references are provided.

3rd April 2001: A series of
long-overdue technical (rather than content) updates have
finally been completed. The Bulletin Board System (BBS) link has
been implemented across the site so there's no excuse for not
trying it out. If only someone would... Those interested in the
Great Pyramid might like to take a look at the short note added
to the end of
Gantenbrink Updates, but don't
get too excited - it is not connected with the exploration of
the so-called airshafts.
-
18th March 2001: The writer's
eye surgery has been successfully completed. Normal service
should be resumed shortly. Don't be shy about posting to the BBS
(see below). It's looking rather empty at the moment!
-
11th February 2001: The
Towers On-line Bulletin Board System (BBS) is up and running.
Please use the threads to comment on the site and related
topics. Links to the BBS will be added across the site in the
near future. For the time being, please bookmark the BBS page
for instant access.
-
3rd February 2001: The site
has been given a "new look" for the New Year - late as usual -
and should get updated more often than was the case in 2000 due
to the writer having loads of eye surgery. There's still one
more minor operation to go in early March 2001 after which
normal service will be resumed, including more about the "Tomb
of Osiris" at Giza.
Previous Updates
-
9th June 2000:
Page 4 of The Shaft, The Subway & The Causeway,
previously only available on restricted access, has been
completely rewritten and added to the main site. This page deals
with diagrams reproduced by H. Spencer Lewis, past Imperator of
the Rosicrucian Order showing the alleged underground layout of
the Giza plateau and their uncanny similarity to the diagrams
reproduced by H. C. Randall-Stevens. The diagrams themselves
have already appeared on the web and in recent books This page
presents a whole new angle that has not previously been
published to my knowledge.
-
9th June 2000:
Page 7 of The Shaft, The Subway & The Causeway is a
new page that will contain reports on lectures and broadcasts
about the so-called "Tomb Of Osiris". To start the ball rolling,
The Towers On-Line presents a full account of the location as
given by Doctor Zahi Hawass at the University of Pennsylvania on
the 11th April 1999.
-
14th July 1999: This item,
taken from the Illustrated London News edition of the 6th April
1935, features two breathtaking photographs of the causeway
linking the Valley Temple to the Second Pyramid. The pictures
were taken soon after Doctor Selim Hassan completed the
clearance of the causeway during his sixth season of work at
Gizeh. Don't forget to click on the small pictures in the
newspaper page to see the full-size versions.

8th May 1999: On the 2nd
March 1999, the FOX Television Network broadcast a programme
entitled 'Opening The Lost Tombs: Live From Egypt.' The
programme included a section on the shafts and chambers featured
on this site under the heading 'The Shaft, The Subway And The
Causeway'. Unfortunately, it was not broadcast here in the
United Kingdom, nor in many other countries of the world. A full
write-up of this part of the programme is now available. Ongoing
technical problems have prevented the upload of pictures to
accompany the item at this time.
