One scientist believes that the recently discovered void in the Pyramid of Khufu at Giza may contain a throne based on Pyramid texts.
An international group of scientists recently came upon a 30 meter long space inside of the Pyramid, as reported by CNN in November.
According to Giulio Magli, a professor at Politencnico di Milano in Milano, Italy, research suggests the chamber may have been used to house funerary equipment.
“A recent exploration has shown the presence of a significant void in the pyramid of Khufu at Giza,” Magli wrote in his report. “A possible explanation of this space, interpreted as a chamber connected to the lower north channel and aimed to contain a specific funerary equipment is tentatively proposed.”
“According to the Pyramid Texts, this equipment might consist of an ‘Iron throne,’ actually a wooden throne endowed with meteoritic Iron sheets,” he continued.
The scientists apparently used the by-products of cosmic rays to reveal the newly discovered chamber inside of the 4,500 year old Egyptian structure. – READ MORE

In 2015, Memphis’ 321-foot-tall “Great American Pyramid” reopened as a Bass Pro Shop megastore after being abandoned for roughly a decade. The 32-floor pyramid contains a hotel, an indoor swamp, and a bowling alley.
Some Memphis residents began calling it the “Tomb of Doom,” thanks to its financial struggles and a rumor that a crystal skull had been stored in the apex. According to myth, the skull had been disturbed, unleashing years of bad luck.
