I entered the Great Pyramid back in the 1990s when you were still allowed to, and visited the central burial chamber, and suffering heatstroke lay down next to where the sarcophagus was to rest. A surreal experience.
- n0mad01 4y agoSorry but do you (or anybody reading this) know which interior parts are still accessible and can be visited (or where to check that)?
- lukehollis 4y agoHey yes, I 3d scanned it last summer. Here's the 3d scan: https://giza.mused.org/en/guided/266/inside-the-great-pyramid https://giza.mused.org/en/guided/266/inside-the-great-pyrami... Unless you book a private visit, you can only go through the Grand Gallery to the King's Chamber. They keep the Subterranean and Queen's Chambers locked. (For example: they locked me in the Queen's Chamber and forgot about me while I was scanning).
- jmhammond 4y agoThis 3D tour is amazing! I’m going to share this with my students.
- lukehollis 4y agoThanks! We have some lesson plans developed from the Luxor Temple tours if they're useful. Was shooting for a US 6th grade level.
- n0mad01 4y agoAmazing, thanks for sharing! For how long were you locked in the Queen's Chamber?
- lukehollis 4y agoAbout an hour

- lukehollis 4y agoHa! exactly
- n0mad01 4y agoI bet it was a life-affirming experience, good thing you didn't have to stay there for days.

- andrewstuart 4y agoI got it outside and the symptoms persisted until I got to the chamber.
