- Summary:
- Through the use of a tiny precision-made laser-guided robot, this video penetrates chambers of the pyramid that have not been seen by the human eye since Egyptian workers sealed the tomb 4,500 year ago. Reviews the theory of Robert Bauval and Adrian Gilbert that the several shafts in the Great Pyramid which point towards the sky in fact point towards Orion's Belt/Osiris, Sirius/Isis, and other constellations important to Egyptian religious beliefs.
