The pyramid of Khafre contains many mysteries, despite being in the shadow of the Great Pyramid of Giza. When examining the sarcophagus in this pyramid, an enormous question is brought to light.
How on earth was this sarcophagus opened without destroying it?
The discrepancy between the security defenses of the pyramids of Khufu and Khafre are highly conspicuous, and further add to the intrigue of why certain decisions were made.
Did looters expertly attack Khafre’s coffer with unparalleled precision… or was something else afoot when the pharaoh was laid to rest?
