The Khufu pyramid is known to have air shafts connecting the King's burial chamber tot he outside. Except in 1992 and 2002 explorer robots discovered the shafts to be plugged by a well fitted stones with copper handles.
Several theories have been proposed and disproved. One held that these were star shafts, but the scientists quickly realized the slight curving of a shaft would never afford anyone a view of any star. Another shrot-lived theory was that these were resonators for frequencies between 5 and 6 kHz, to produce am awe-inspiring sound effect. The shafts however, are plugged, so they could not work as intended.
Maybe it is the time to mention Medrash, which says that the Pharaoh of Egypt was a cubit tall.
Since the Pharaohs are really/supposedly buried in the Valley of Kings, maybe they were REALLY cubit tall, REALLY buried in the Pyramids, and provided with the shafts in belief that they could crawl up in them in after life to join their favorite stars?
