Incredibly Long-Lasting
Given the inventiveness with which it was constructed, the King’s Chamber is a marvel of engineering in and of itself. Because of the immense weight of the stone above it, the space must bear tremendous pressure. However, the ancient Egyptians devised an ingenious solution to this problem, as evidenced by the fact that only a single fracture has ever developed throughout the structure’s 4,000-year lifetime.

Branching Passageways
It should be noted that the King’s Chamber was also built with two tiny tunnels branching out of the space, which is a feature that can also be seen in the Queen’s Chamber. These odd tunnels have sparked a great deal of discussion because no one is really sure why they were constructed. In a nutshell, they are yet another mystery surrounding the Great Pyramids.
