Scorch marks1/31/2024 ![]() ![]() Chris Dunn is also the only investigator to remark that the stone box in the King’s Chamber (erroneously referred to as a “sarcophagus”) is today a chocolate brown color, not the original rose color of the Aswan granite it is from. The walls of the King’s Chamber can be seen separating from the floor and seem to bulge out, suggesting that an explosion or powerful energy pulse acted upon them. The SCA (Supreme Council of Antiquities) attempted to repair these cracks in 1998 but they are still evident today. Egyptologists have explained the cracks away as being the result of an earthquake, but there is no evidence of seismic damage in either the Descending Passage or Subterranean Chamber, which would have been closer to the epicenter. There are cracks in the granite beams on the southeastern ceiling of the room. As mentioned in both my and Chris’s book, the King’s Chamber presents several anomalies. There are several features in the inner chambers of the Great Pyramid that cannot be explained by the structure merely being utilized as a tomb for a king, whether an actual or symbolic tomb. My recent trip to Egypt enabled me to further pursue the hypothesis and gather even more evidence, not only in the Great Pyramid, but at other sites as well. I further advanced Dunn’s hypothesis of an explosion in the pyramid in my book, The Land of Osiris (Adventures Unlimited Press, 2001) due to investigations I made on site in 1997, 19. In his landmark book, The Giza Power Plant (Bear & Co., 1998), engineer Chris Dunn made the suggestion there is evidence that the Great Pyramid may have experienced a cataclysmic event, an explosion some time in its distant past which ended its role as an active power plant, a machine, which is what Dunn proposes was its primary function in his book. In fact, the inner chambers of the Great Pyramid exhibit many anomalous features, which have never been adequately addressed or discussed by Egyptologists such as Hawass. Zahi Hawass, ex Chairman of the Supreme Council of Antiquities of Egypt, has remarked that the Great Pyramid has not yet yielded all of its secrets by any means. Shaft of the Queen’s Chamber in the Great Pyramid, interest in the ancient monument continues to capture the imagination of many people in the world. If you still have minimal discoloration you need removed, you can use things such as Zep Polish or a Scotch Brite pad, specially on #4 finish stainless, for example.With recent discoveries of “new” spaces or chambers behind the so-called “Gantenbrink’s Door” in the Southern Shaft and another “door’ in the Northern This way, you will use much less off your wheel, (which you will notice by the reduced smell and dust in the air), you will cut with minimal discoloration, minimal heat, which will also extremely minimize distortion on thinner gauges metals. After that, lift the grinder, and go back to the beginning and use that "track" you just built as your guide, and slowly keep cutting it that way. The best way to cut with an angle grinder is to do so in multiple passes, and using the bottom part of the wheel to cut.įor example, if you are cutting a straight cut on a flat sheet of metal, say 6" long, place the angle grinder on your cutting line, and let the weight of your hand only carry the grinder forward those 6". ![]() That way, you are wasting the wheel and effectively heating up the metal, causing distortion and discoloration. The trick with an angle grinder is not to try to cut the metal with one pass. Your 1.5mm sheet is going to be at the top end of their capabilities, but if you choose a quality tool and don't try to move too fast, I think you'll be ok. The issue is that many of the tools that I found top at at 16ga (1.5875mm) or 14ga (1.984375mm) sheet metal. They do this very quickly so the result looks like a straigt cut. They are basically a small punch that nibbles of small bits of metal. Hand operated, air powered, electric, and as a small attachment for an electric drill. One tool that actually cuts through the metal is known as a "nibbler". Angle grinders don't really cut - they sand their way through the metal creating a massive amount of heat. The other choice is to cut the metal without heat. You may be able to sand off the surface of the metal near the cuts to remove the discolored metal on the surface, but this will lead to a cut that doesn't look very clean and some discoloration may remain. There's not soot or anything you can clean off - the metal is changed. As you have implied, heating the metal is actually changing it near the cut and causing it to discolor.
