My predictions for the future concerning Egypt, archaeology, and Egyptology

*** IMPORTANT UPDATE: My Patreon is now live. To follow my deep-dive investigation – The Great Pyramid Scandal™ – please click here. Thank you for your support. ***

On this page, I’m going to make some big predictions.

They concern potential future significant archaeological rediscoveries in Egypt. And other predictions you may find ... tantalizing.

To be clear, the date is currently the 24th of October, 2026 (New Zealand date/time). It is currently 1:48 pm as I write this.

Here are my first big predictions

I’m confident there are entire passage and chamber systems within and/or under certain “Old Kingdom” Egyptian pyramids that are now currently hidden.

I’m not saying these are Tutankhamun-like discoveries just waiting to be made.

You’re almost certainly not going to find pristine, untouched, enclosed chambers full of gold, elaborate, untouched sarcophagi, and mummies.

I am 100% confident these now-hidden passage and chamber systems were explored during antiquity, suffered some permanent damage, and were later blocked off.

In other words, they’re there, but currently hidden from view.

So let’s cover the details.

I am confident there are currently hidden passage and chamber systems inside and/or under the following Egyptian pyramids.

The Giza big three: Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, and the Red pyramid in Dahshūr.

In terms of confidence levels, I am 100% confident for Menkaure and Khafre. I am highly confident for the Red Pyramid. I am reasonably confident for Khufu.

I strongly suspect these now-hidden passage and chamber systems were originally discovered and explored in antiquity and later closed off.

So don’t got looking for a neat tidy door. We’ll probably need technology to locate the entrances (descending passageways).

These spaces are almost certainly damaged, and quite possibly full of ancient sand, rubbish, and debris.

In terms of exactly what I think we’ll find, if we ever rediscover our way in – let me run you through the specifics.

In essence: the same basic systems you see in the Khufu, Khafre, Menkaure, Red, Bent, Teti and Unas pyramids.

A descending passageway (one per now-hidden passage and chamber system), likely at a similar incline, that formed the original entrance to each now-hidden passage and chamber system.

Each one will be cramped, low, square or rectangular-ish.

In terms of where the original entrances are on each pyramid, here are my predictions.

The Pyramid of Menkaure is easy.

There is no doubt in my mind whatsoever that it’s in the east face, in the centre of that face, very close to the flat, rectangular, smooth patch of granite you can still see today.

By centre, I mean the centre of the east face between the adjoining vertical edges of the north and south faces. The same basic concept applies for all other original entrances.

The big question is: exactly how to get in. One suggestion would be to clear the rubble directly above this flat patch. That might help.

For the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Pyramid of Khafre, I suspect both entrances are in the east faces, in the centre of those faces.

I’m not sure how high up or low the original entrances are.

However, for the Pyramid of Khafre, I would suggest looking close to the base, once covered with red granite casing stones.

I have a specific reason for saying that.

Once I release my broader pyramid hypothesis (what it looks like certain “ancient Egyptian Old Kingdom” pyramids were built to do), you’ll understand what that reason is.

It is also possible the original entrances to both pyramids could be on the north or west faces. The north face is certainly possible for Khufu, but it would surprise me for Khafre.

I highly doubt these entrances will be on the south faces. That would come as a true shock to me.

For the Red Pyramid, I would suggest looking on the west face, in its centre.

Again, how high up or low I simply don’t know.

In terms of each descending passageway, the lining will likely be limestone bedrock and/or masonry, at least substantially, although there may be an initial or partial run (or runs – multiple sections are possible) where the walls, ceiling and floor are substantially granite.

If you encounter granite lining in any of these descending passageways, some may be practical in nature, to help with weight support.

Some could also be at key choke points, perhaps staggered along the descending passageways, essentially to help block the way forward.

If so, you should see evidence of some kind of hard stone blocks, plugs or slabs (likely granite) that were likely originally in place to block the way forward.

Some of these blocks, plugs or slabs may still be there. Some may be damaged. Some may be missing. You might just find a few fragments.

Hybrid granite runs/sections in these descending passageways are also possible, where the aim of using granite appears to be both practical in nature (to help support the load above it), as well as helping to block the way forward in conjunction with hard stone slabs, plugs or blocks.

If you encounter this kind of granite lining in any of the descending passageways, it is almost certain that “intruders” bored their way around it into the softer limestone bedrock and/or masonry.

That’s why I’m predicting permanent damage.

It is also possible “intruders” were able to substantially remove or damage at least some of the granite lining in these descending passageways, some of which may still remain in place.

For the most part, I personally suspect most of the descending passageways will be lined with limestone masonry and/or bedrock, depending on how deep they go.

Each descending passageway should lead to a horizontal passageway of some kind.

Each horizontal passage should lead to one or more chambers.

Eventually, each horizontal passageway should lead or begin to lead to an innermost chamber.

Each innermost chamber may or may not be lined with granite.

I suspect it will be in the Great Pyramid of Giza (Khufu) and Menkaure.

I’m not so sure about the others.

In each horizontal passage – and/or any subsequent adjacent passageway(s) leading to the innermost chamber – there will almost certainly be physical evidence the way forward was once blocked at key choke points by hard stone slabs, plugs or blocks of some kind, probably granite.

Each relevant section may or may not have likely been originally lined with granite, to help block the way forward in conjunction with the hard stone slabs, blocks or plugs.

So the walls, ceiling, and floor may have originally been lined with granite in these sections.

As before, the original granite masonry lining may now be permanently damaged, partially removed, still intact, or in fragments, requiring reconstruction.

Some of the blocks, plugs or slabs may still be there. Some may be intact. Some may be damaged. Some may be in fragments.

I suspect fragments is more likely.

In each choke point – and there may be several per horizontal and/or subsequent adjoining passage(s) – there should be physical evidence the “intruders” carved their way around these hard stone blocks, plugs or slabs into the softer limestone masonry and/or bedrock to get past.

Again, that’s why I’m predicting permanent damage.

In each innermost chamber, there may or may not be a stone “sarcophagus.”

I’m using speech marks there because I don’t think these were originally sarcophagi at all.

As I’ll eventually make clear in my brand new, breakthrough pyramid hypothesis, they appear to have had a relatively simple, ingenious, practical purpose.

But you’ll have to wait until I release my theory to learn what that is.

In terms of each stone box, don’t get your hopes up.

It’ll be empty, probably unmarked (no hieroglyphs), and almost certainly badly damaged.

I would expect, at minimum, the lids and the areas close to each lid to be severely damaged.

And don’t even think about finding grave goods – unless these spaces were reused as burial chambers.

Even if they were, I would be very, very surprised if any grave goods remain.

These spaces are quite possibly filled with ancient sand, debris, and rubbish.

They may require a lot of clearing before they’re tourist ready.

And that may make finding them using technology difficult.

Because they might not be visible, open air voids.

If they’re totally clogged with various ancient rubbish, that could be a huge problem in terms of trying to nail down their exact locations.

If we do ever get in, you might find markings on the openly accessible walls.

This may be ancient graffiti and possibly include Arabic characters. I wouldn’t expect construction type markings. More like: MAHMOOD WAZ HERE, so to speak.

But if we ever discover any genuinely sealed spaces (for example, relieving chambers), that are still sealed when we get in and – as far as we can tell – have never been accessed since construction on the pyramid itself was complete, then I have a major prediction.

Once you get in there, you aren’t going to find any gang names.

You aren’t going to find any ancient hieroglyphic graffiti.

You aren’t going to find any dipinti.

No construction markings. No quarry markings.

No cartouches.

No ancient Egyptian inscriptions whatsoever.

None. Zip. Nada.

All you’re going to find are bare walls.

In other words, more of the same (in terms of what we typically encounter in these “Old Kingdom” pyramids), minus what I consider to be suspected forged hieroglyphs and other markings in certain “Old Kingdom” pyramids.

You might be thinking: How are these even predictions?

You’re just throwing out informed guesses and hoping to get lucky.

Maybe there is a hidden passage and chamber system somewhere in one of these pyramids, and maybe we find it.

And we already know at least one of these pyramids (the Bent Pyramid at Dahshūr) contains essentially two passage and chamber systems, although they are technically connected.

So you’re just hoping more of these pyramids also contain extra spaces, and you’re throwing out guesses, hoping that at least one hits.

And because we already know roughly what these spaces are like, you’re not even offering much of a guess. You’re just saying: Expect the same same.

Not quite.

First off, who else has made such specific, risky, public predictions for these specific pyramids?

Name one individual before me.

Second, even if they did (which I doubt), who else time stamped them so that anyone can see when they were first made – and see what kind of detail was included in those predictions?

Name one individual before me, and show me the receipts.

And there is a huge element of risk here.

If I am ever proven wrong, given the confidence I have in my broader pyramid hypothesis, I could be crucified.

I could end up a laughing stock.

So these are not empty predictions I’ve made lightly. They carry real world reputational risk.

Here’s what these predictions are actually based on.

In my informed opinion, I now understand exactly what it appears the original builders of certain “ancient Egyptian Old Kingdom” pyramids were trying to do.

That’s what my broader pyramid hypothesis will cover in detail.

What I understand is that each separate passage and chamber system offered the original builders one more chance to succeed in what appears to be their intention.

Basically, each new passage and chamber system offered redundancy.

And this apparent intention was highly ambitious.

As far as I can tell, it seems like this was an all-in effort, and they absolutely needed it to work.

So each separate passage and chamber system upped the overall odds of them succeeding.

That’s why I’m making these predictions.

I’m looking at these structures from a practical perspective.

It seems obvious to me that space utilization was important.

After all, if you were trying to achieve what it looks like the original builders were trying to do, you wouldn’t go to all this trouble without significant foresight.

You certainly wouldn’t waste space.

You would want to use every square inch available.

So if they could squeeze two separate passage and chamber systems into each pyramid, I can almost guarantee they did, which is why I’m so confident.

I have other reasons to be confident.

Scientific testing has already been done on the Pyramid of Menkaure, on the smooth, flat, rectangular granite area on the east face.

And they appear to have found two voids1.

Again, I predict the likely original entrance to the now-hidden passage and chamber system in this pyramid is very close to this smooth, flat, rectangular granite area.

In other words, the likely original entrance to the now-hidden descending passageway here should be very close to where they found these voids.

As you can see, other than the obvious X marks the spot – I mean, just look at how these smooth granite faces stand out – I’m not flying blind.

Scientific testing has also been done at the Pyramid of Khafre.

Without getting into the weeds, it looks like they’ve already found sections of the now-hidden passage and chamber system I’m predicting in the general area beneath Belzoni’s Chamber2.

You may have already heard of the “Big Void” discovered in the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Basically, it appears to be a large space (at least 30 metres long) somewhere above the Grand Gallery, currently hidden and inaccessible3.

In all honesty, I’m not 100% sure about the Pyramid of Khufu.

To me, it looks like an enormous amount of space has already been utilized.

But I’m confident the original builders were very clever, so if it was possible to squeeze in another separate passage and chamber system, I have no doubt they found a way.

So if this “Big Void” is not some sort of architectural weight shedding support for the Grand Gallery (and the bevelled walls make me lean in that direction), then I am confident it is part of the second now-hidden passage and chamber system I’m predicting in this pyramid.

As for the Red Pyramid, it’s bigger than the Bent Pyramid.

We already know there are two essentially separate passage and chamber systems in the latter.

The two systems are technically joined, but their descending passageways are entered separately: one on the north face, one on the west face.

Again, I’m looking at the Red Pyramid practically, based on what it looks like the original builders were trying to pull off.

If they could squeeze another passage and chamber system in there – whether technically joined or separate – I absolutely get why they would have done that.

In the Red Pyramid, there is currently only one descending passageway we know of, one passage and chamber system.

It does seem to take up a fairly large footprint.

Even so, I suspect the builders may have been able to squeeze more into this, another separate passage and chamber system.

So I’m simply going by the size of this pyramid and how important space utilization appears to have been to the original builders.

In other words, these are not wild guesses.

These predictions are based on my personal assessment of these structures.

I have looked at these monuments through a filter no one else today seems to be using.

I’ve considered what the science says (most of it: plain, ordinary, vanilla science).

I’ve looked at the evidence from a holistic perspective.

And I am not convinced the contemporary, mainstream explanation for what these structures are, who built them, and why, hold water.

In fact, the science seems to be pointing in a very different, unusual direction.

Hence the umbrella name of my overarching investigation: The Science of the Stones™.

I am confident I now know exactly what the original builders were trying to accomplish.

And in that regard, I am confident they were successful. Basically: The evidence seems to suggest they achieved their goal.

Therefore, I know approximately what to expect when/if these rediscoveries are made.

In time, I hope to reveal my insights, including all the science, contemporary physical evidence, and relevant historical evidence, and what the cumulative picture appears to reveal.

Many should be surprised.

My theory will almost certainly be controversial, but probably accepted by many.

I predict my broad pyramid theory will become the predominant theory, rendering all other competing anti-mainstream theories dead in the water.

Not only that, I predict this hypothesis will seriously compete for credibility with the mainstream Egyptology model.

Put simply: It stands up under pressure. The effects I’m proposing can be empirically tested end-to-end in modern laboratories.

As far as I can tell, the mainstream model does not survive the same level of scrutiny.

In fact, for a lot of people, once you see these structures the way I do, you’ll probably have an “a ha” moment: Oh, now I get it. Wow. Didn’t see that coming.

Here are several softer predictions

Some of the following predictions relate to my investigation of certain “ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic inscriptions” and other markings apparently “discovered” by Howard Vyse and company around 1837.

Some relate to my broader pyramid hypothesis, which I eventually intend to release to the public: What it looks like certain “ancient Egyptian Old Kingdom” pyramids were built to do.

These predictions are less certain because they depend on public reactions to the facts and claims I’m going to present in the months and years ahead, how certain institutions respond, and how the cumulative case unfolds in the court of public opinion.

Even so, given enough time, once all the facts come to light, I suspect some major scandals are going to unfold.

Initially, I suspect major stakeholder institutions will respond aggressively, defensively, and in a hostile manner, if they bother to engage at all.

They may try to discredit me and question my credentials.

Particularly with regards to North American archaeology, they may try to attack my character and label me a white supremacist, racist, far-right, QAnon-adjacent, Trump supporting Whatever.

They will almost certainly apply selective scepticism and an unduly atomistic treatment of the evidence I bring up.

Even if they acknowledge that some of the evidence looks concerning, they may find a way to downplay it. Basically: Acknowledge the problem, then deny that it’s a problem.

They may try to attack my credibility any way they can, and attempt to slow down any momentum building against their credibility.

To all such attempts I simply say: BRING IT ON.

And think twice, because you don’t yet know exactly what I’m sitting on.

And ask yourself: Is it wise to shoot the messenger?

If you do behave like that, I can almost guarantee your comments won’t age well.

Long term, the facts I’m going to present and their apparent significance will speak for themselves.

I’m confident a sensible, informed public will quickly realize the cumulative weight and shape of the evidence – and what it points to.

In other words, over time, certain contemporary institutional narratives are going to come under intense pressure.

Whether that pressure leads to change, or perennial posturing and defensiveness by relevant stakeholders, remains to be seen.

Here are some more specific predictions:

Once I bring all the facts to light, the idea that Howard Vyse and John Shae Perring deserve full, unquestionable credit for discovering the previously sealed Khufu relieving chambers will probably come under intense pressure.

I have strong evidence that suggests a major scandal is about to unfold in that regard.

The idea that Howard Vyse and John Shae Perring “discovered” genuine Old Kingdom hieratic or cursive inscriptions (gang names, cartouches, practical construction marks, and so on) in several contexts (especially the Khufu relieving chambers) may also come under intense pressure.

The idea that these marks are genuine at all now appears highly questionable. I suspect once the public understands the information I’m currently sitting on, enormous doubt may quickly build in that regard.

Subsequently, other apparently similar “discoveries” may come under increasing pressure. (For example, similar marks “discovered” by George Andrew Reisner and Alessandro Barsanti.)

In time, especially if the Khufu relieving chamber marks are ever scientifically tested and the results look terrible – my personal prediction – it is possible these “discoveries” will, in essence, be wiped from the archaeological record.

They are, quite simply, institutionally embarrassing.

And I hope – for the sake of those institutions – that all the facts I bring to light are fairly evaluated, and not hand waved or poorly explained away.

To be clear: I am not suggesting or proposing that mainstream archaeology/Egyptology is the problem here.

These experts are trained within a certain framework, and do not consider these marks suspicious. And why should they? No one has ever produced a convincing argument as to why they are.

But all that is about to change.

And over time, it should become obvious that these markings are highly suspicious.

Put simply: It looks like certain individuals hoodwinked us all. They were clever (particularly Howard Vyse), but not clever enough, as you’ll eventually find out.

What would be tragic is if, when it becomes obvious and apparent how certain individuals deceived the public, certain institutions respond by continuing to defend them, despite the compelling and mounting problems.

I hope that will not be the case, and that the facts will be given a fair shake.

Eventually, I suspect the court of public opinion may force the issue. The facts are simply too strong.

But we’ll see.

Time will tell.
