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! ,

"bHOiiunntiuwN in J-
... 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.
