The Secret of the Sarcophagus

In the inside, all was arranged to show us to hide the exact place of the sarcophagus and to baffle any spoilers whom chance or perseverance had led a right. To prevent the sepulchre chamber from being crushed by the 300 feet of stone which stood over it, five low hollow spaces were left above it. Here are neither figures nor inscriptions, nothing but a granite sarcophagus, lidless and mutilated. Such were the precautions taken against invaders and the results showed that they were effectual for the pyramid guarded its deposit during more than 4,000 years.
