On this page, I'm going to make some big predictions.
They concern potential future significant archaeological discoveries in Egypt. And other predictions you may find ... tantalizing.
To be clear, the date is currently the 6th of September, 2026 (New Zealand date/time). It is currently 10:04 am as I write this.
Here is my first big prediction.
There are undiscovered passages and chambers inside the Menkaure pyramid in Egypt. The entrance to the currently hidden descending passageway (where you enter and go deeper into the pyramid) should be somewhere close to the flat, smooth granite surface on the East face of the pyramid.
I personally suspect that entrance is somewhere close above the currently visible flat surface of granite you can still see on the East face today, and is probably hidden by the rubble there.
(For context, the open, current tourist entrance is on the North side, in the top/middle-ish of the flat section of granite there. Basically, I'm saying another similar entrance to a separate set of passages and chambers exists probably above the flat section of granite on the East side.)
If you're hoping they discover pristine passages and chambers, unexplored - our very own contemporary Tutankhamun discovery - you'll be sorely disappointed.
My prediction is these passages and chambers were explored in antiquity. There will be permanent damage, without question.
If the original so-called "sarcophagus" is still there in the innermost chamber, it will be made of a hard material - granite or basalt - and will be permanently damaged.
It will be empty.
It may or may not be inscribed with hieroglyphs.
I suspect we'll find traces that originally, a hard material like granite was used for portcullis slabs to block the way forward, probably at multiple points as you progressed deeper.
If any of those slabs still exist, they will likely be in fragments and permanently damaged. They may not be there at all. But the signs they were originally in place will hopefully still be there.
Instead, it is almost certain intruders bored into the softer limestone bedrock and/or masonry that surrounded these slabs.
So the relevant walls and/or masonry will be permanently damaged and altered.
It's certainly possible the passages and chambers will be in rough shape, full of sand and ancient rubbish.
Basically: Don't expect clean, sealed, unopened chambers.
In terms of how many chambers, I don't know.
The basic layout should follow the general layout of other specific Old Kingdom pyramids, like Khufu, Khafre, Menkaure, the Red and Bent pyramids, Unas and Teti, and so on.
So: a long, cramped, sloping passage, maybe a few chambers off to the sides, and eventually, an innermost chamber. That deepest chamber may be lined with granite or limestone. I suspect just limestone at this specific pyramid.
There is almost certainly an innermost chamber. Again, if the original "sarcophagus" is still there, that's where you should find it: damaged, empty.
As for any mummies: No.
Grave goods: Zip. Zilch. Nada.
If there are any genuinely sealed voids later discovered inside Menkaure, that are above/adjacent/connected to these currently hidden spaces, I suspect these will be relieving chamber type voids.
And one thing's for certain: If they're genuinely sealed, and have not been accessed pre-discovery (so, if they're found using muon scans, for example), and the access is controlled, transparent, and trustworthy:
No gang names/Old Kingdom hieratic/ancient Egyptian inscriptions/practical dipinti construction or quarry type marks will be discovered there.
None.
Zip.
Zilch.
Nada.
Nothing.
Again: Nothing. No such marks, no genuine Old Kingdom ancient Egyptian graffiti/construction/gang name type marks, will ever be discovered there of any kind.
I am 100% confident of that, and I am time stamping my prediction today.
In short: What they'll find, if they ever get inside these currently hidden passages and chambers, is a roughly similar layout to certain Old Kingdom pyramids (Khufu/Menkaure/Khafre/Red/Bent/Teti/Unas).
Probably a lot of ancient rubbish and sand.
An empty inner chamber with an empty "sarcophagus."
Damaged limestone walls (due to boring around the granite portcullis slabs).
And if there's any remaining genuinely sealed voids that are ever accessed securely and transparently, they'll find nothing but bare walls.
No inscriptions. No gang names. No cartouches. No nothing.
*
That covers Menkaure.
*
Here is my second big prediction.
I am reasonably confident there are also undiscovered passages and chambers inside/under the Great Pyramid of Giza (Khufu).
Again, think: a sloping, tight passage that may lead to several chambers, ultimately concluding in an innermost chamber. That chamber is likely lined/composed of granite.
But it will still be surrounded by limestone/limestone masonry. The granite will simply line this innermost chamber, similar to the King's Chamber in Khufu.
If these currently hidden passages and chambers exists, the entrance could be on the East, West, or South side. I'm not sure. If I were to speculate, East or West.
Again, if they ever find it (and muon scans deeper in the pyramid may help; for example, in the Subterranean Chamber), again, don't expect another Tutankhamun.
The passages and chambers will be similar to what I've proposed above for Menkaure.
As in:
Explored in antiquity.
The limestone walls and/or masonry damaged in attempts to get around the granite portcullis slabs.
Those slabs probably fragmented and damaged, if they're still there.
The innermost chamber will be empty, no grave goods.
If the original so-called "sarcophagus" is still there, it'll be damaged, empty, and made of some kind of hard material like granite or basalt.
And if any genuinely sealed adjacent spaces exist nearby (for example, sealed relieving spaces), if they are entered in a secure and transparent manner, the walls will be bare.
No gang names.
No dipinti marks.
No cartouches.
No quarry/construction-looking marks.
No nothing.
Just bare, empty walls.
Oh, and there will probably be a lot of ancient rubbish in these spaces: sand, debris, that kind of thing.
*
That ends that prediction.
And on that note, here's my next big prediction.
If the currently sealed Big Void inside the Great Pyramid of Giza (Khufu) is ever securely and transparently entered, they will not find any:
- cartouches
- dipinti marks
- gang names
- any Old Kingdom hieratic
- any ancient Egyptian inscriptions whatsoever
- zero levelling lines, notations, or any red ochre practical construction marks of any kind
In other words: they'll find nothing but bare walls.
And more bare walls.
And oh, look: another bare wall.
And that's it.
*** MAJOR UPDATE ***
It is currently 09:06 am, 16th October, 2026.
I am writing this from Nelson, New Zealand.
I need to make a major refinement to my prediction above regarding the Big Void inside the Great Pyramid of Giza (the so-called Pyramid of Khufu).
That prediction was based on my cursory examination of this space, or more specifically, an image I’d seen at some point that made it seem like the Big Void slopes at an angle, basically parallel or in line with the way the Grand Gallery slopes.
In other words, the image made it seem like the Big Void was probably some kind of architectural relieving space, in line with the Khufu relieving chambers.
So my earlier prediction above - and I definitely should have made this clear - was based on the assumption that the Big Void was exactly that:
a sealed, inaccessible, load-shedding space of some kind.
In other words, after construction, no one had been in there, ever, up until we finally get in.
So, to be clear, the specifics of my prediction above - bare walls, no dipinti marks, no hieroglyphs, basically nothing but bare masonry - was based on that assumption.
And maybe that’s the case.
But I hadn’t stopped to think about and consider the beveled design of the walls inside the Grand Gallery (Khufu).
That specific feature makes me doubt that the Big Void is a sealed, perhaps never-meant-to-be-accessed load shedding space of some kind, to take the pressure off the Grand Gallery below.
Instead, I suspect the Big Void may actually be part of the now-sealed-but-previously-explored-in-antiquity passage and chamber system I did predict above for the Great Pyramid.
I originally thought this system was lower, possibly even in the limestone bedrock itself, at least partially.
Maybe that’s still the case.
And maybe the Big Void is a sealed, architectural load-shedding feature.
If so, my original prediction above still stands.
But I’m definitely leaning more towards: this Big Void may be part of a passage and chamber system, in line with my earlier prediction above, further up, past the Big Void prediction.
And this wouldn’t surprise me at all, other than the fact that it’s way higher up than what I originally thought.
And I suspect the entrance is on the east or west face - I can’t be sure which.
It is possible the entrance is on the north side, perhaps somewhere above the entrance to the currently-known descending passageway - I can’t be sure.
The important point is: what the Big Void is, or what it’s part of.
So, let me be as specific as I can possibly be.
If it is indeed part of a passage and chamber system, then, like many of these “Old Kingdom” pyramids, there should be:
- A sloped, cramped entrance passageway, square or rectangular-ish shaped, like the descending passageway in the Pyramid of Khufu and the Pyramid of Menkaure.
- The entrance should be somewhere close to the original casing stones that comprised the exterior of the Great Pyramid of Giza.
- This entrance passageway is likely positioned at a similar incline to what we see in the descending and ascending passageways in the Great Pyramid of Giza (Khufu).
- At a certain point, it should level off to a horizontal passage of some kind, although exactly where, I can’t be sure.
- That horizontal passage may lead to one or more chambers.
- At some point, the passage system (whatever its exact configuration: definitely a sloped entrance passageway, then maybe something like level/horizontal, then sloped, then level/horizontal or just a sloped entrance passageway, then level - honestly, I’m not sure) will almost certainly lead to an innermost chamber.
- Again, in line with what I predicted above, this innermost chamber may be lined with granite. However, the masonry surrounding the granite, on the exterior of this chamber, should be limestone.
- I suspect the “sarcophagus” is still there, in this innermost chamber, and will almost certainly be permanently damaged and empty.
- I suspect there won’t be any hieroglyphs either inside or outside this “sarcophagus.”
- And there almost certainly won’t be a mummy. No body. No Khufu.
- And on that note, don’t expect to find any grave goods. Not because they’re gone or robbed. Because they were likely never there.
- Am I saying the innermost chamber was incomplete, or the ancient Egyptians changed their mind and decided not to use it as a tomb? No. I’m saying it’s not a tomb. It never was a tomb. And that “sarcophagus” - if it’s still there - is not what you think it is.
- On that note, there are likely multiple points along the passage system that originally blocked the way forward with much harder stone, probably granite.
- So think: granite plugs or blocks along the way, possibly at key chokepoints, to stop anyone from going any further.
- The softer limestone masonry that originally surrounded these granite blocks is almost certainly permanently damaged, because the original “intruders” would have bored around the granite, rather than trying to pierce through it.
- Those granite blocks/plugs may or may not still be there. They might be in pieces. I suspect at least some of them - or parts of them - are still there.
In other words, don’t get your hopes up.
This is definitely not going to be a contemporary Tutankhamun-type find.
We’re absolutely not going to find some kind of pristine, sealed royal tomb, full of glittering gold and pretty artwork.
Again, in line with my earlier prediction above, this passage and chamber system was almost certainly explored during antiquity.
At least some of the softer limestone walls were absolutely permanently damaged as a result.
The original entrance would then have been sealed at some point later, making it hard to find.
This passage and chamber system could be full of ancient rubbish, sand and debris.
It may take a while to clear.
I’m honestly not sure.
But I wouldn’t expect to find clean, pristine spaces, basically tourist ready.
It’s almost certain some level of clearing and excavation will be required, to fully expose these spaces again.
And that’s it, and hopefully much clearer now.

*** END OF MAJOR UPDATE. ORIGINAL PREDICTIONS CONTINUE BELOW ***
*
That concludes my Khufu pyramid predictions.
*
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 is 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 very successful. Basically: they achieved their goal.
Therefore, I know approximately what to expect when/if these new discoveries are made.
In time, I hope to reveal my insights, including all the science, and the holistic evidence, and what the cumulative picture clearly appears to reveal.
Many will be surprised.
My perspective will almost certainly be controversial, but probably accepted by many.
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.
These are much 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 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 may respond defensively, and try to silo and compartmentalize the individual facts I bring to light, and simply explain them away.
But the facts will speak for themselves, and I'm confident a sensible, informed public will quickly realize the cumulative weight of the facts, and what they point 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.
Without further ado, here we go:
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 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 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 apparent 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 proven to be blatant forgeries, 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 that is all about to change.
And over time, it should become obvious that these marks are highly suspicious.
Put simply: 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.
