August 7. 1952 Great Pyramid Builder's Identity May Be Hidden Cairo. Egypt (U.R) The Great Pyramid of Cheops at Giza, one of the "seven wonders" of the world may not really have been built by the Pharaoh Cheops, one researcher thinks. He suspects that perhaps be hind the massive stones of that pyramid may be a sealed and yet undiscovered chamber which will reveal the true identity of the builder of the greatest edifice of its kind in the world to serve as his tomb. . The answers to his questions arelikely to bring to light truths and treasures so far unsuspected by even the greatest Egyptolo gists, says Kenneth C. Dick, a free lance archeologist from New York. ' He is so intrigued by the fact that the "so-called" Pyramid of Cheops has an internal arrange ment different from any other pyramid, that he even suspects it was, not built by the ancient Egyptians at all but possibly by some other ancient people who conquered Egypt. Scents Treasure Dick is in Egypt to attempt to unfold what he thinks is the hid den story of the Great Pyramid. He says Egyptology needs "a lot of straightening out" and is con vinced that some of the greatest treasures of ancient Egypt are still to be found. He said: "I cannot accept the theories-- advanced in the past about the identity of the man who built the Great Pyramid because they are based on mere assumption and do not rest on conclusive evi dence. "In fact, ther? ' i symbol available no: i a vase, a cartouche or a i to say that Cheops was tue builder. Yet there has been no one to chal lenge that assumption. "I am not trying ft) tear down theories evinced before me, but to reconstruct the facts. In the process of doing this I must puli n today n "nbe'ievabie! , jj !

I I out a few loose stones and some Egyptologists are bound not to be pleased. But for progress sac rifice must be made." , The sandy-haired, 39-year-old archeologist draws a clue from the sarcophagus lying in the "king's chamber" of the Great Pyramid. He said: "That sarcophagus is a puzzle. Here is a tremendous monument, and in it the lowliest sarcopha gus of those times you can imag ine. It does not lend itself to the magnificence of the monument. Its crudenes indicates rather that it may have served to bury a monkey but certainly not a king." What is- now known as the 'king's chamber" was perhaps originally designed by the genial builder of the pyramid as a pres sure chamber to relieve part of the weight of the colossal monu ment on the limestone floor whereon it stands, Dick said. He believes it is very likely that a sealed and undetected chamber may be found within the pyramid worthier perhaps of being called the "king's cham ber than the present one. and with a sarcophagus more fitting to receive the body of a king than the present "stone box." Dick asked the research de partments of 16 American en gineering firms'as well as-the U, S. Atomic Energy commission at Oak Ridge" by what means they could detect a new cham ber m the pyramid. "They stated that no known instrumentation has yet been devised that will de tect the presence of sealed cham bers on so large a scale," he said. Dick has arranged to under take the detection of the new chamber with a group of French scientists from an engineering firm m Paris. He said their main tests will consist of electro-magnetic readings into the granite and limestone of the pyramid. MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE John D.
