Having discovered <strong>the</strong> upper passage system (if by no o<strong>the</strong>r means <strong>the</strong>n certainly via<br />
<strong>the</strong> clues left behind by <strong>the</strong> builders), <strong>the</strong> task for <strong>the</strong> intruders would <strong>the</strong>n be to work<br />
around <strong>the</strong> granite blocks <strong>that</strong> blocked this passage (assuming, of course, <strong>that</strong> <strong>the</strong>y had<br />
not discovered <strong>the</strong> secret exit used by <strong>the</strong> builders). Though difficult, this would not<br />
have been an insurmountable problem for a people who could quarry granite blocks of<br />
anywhere between 5 and 70 tons and manoeuvre <strong>the</strong>m into place to construct a<br />
pyramid. If <strong>the</strong>y could do <strong>that</strong> <strong>the</strong>n it is not unreasonable to suggest <strong>that</strong> <strong>the</strong>y could<br />
just as easily do <strong>the</strong> reverse.<br />
Once entry into <strong>the</strong> Grand Gallery had been achieved <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> only ‘security measure’<br />
protecting <strong>the</strong> King’s Chamber was three portcullis blocks made of granite set in<br />
place within <strong>the</strong> Ante Chamber before <strong>the</strong> King’s Chamber. But once again, as if to<br />
go out of <strong>the</strong>ir way to assist any intruder, <strong>the</strong>se slabs would have presented little<br />
resistance since <strong>the</strong> builders—ra<strong>the</strong>r conveniently—had left in place a fourth granite<br />
block known as <strong>the</strong> ‘Granite Leaf’. This stone could easily have been utilised as a<br />
counter-weight to raise each of <strong>the</strong> three portcullis blocking stones, allowing easy<br />
access to <strong>the</strong> King’s Chamber.
