Making 3d Drawings of Internal Chambers in the Great Pyramid

Making 3d Drawings of Internal Chambers in the Great Pyramid

Basis for drawing

I was going to make 3D drawing of some of the internal chambers. To do that I needed a blueprint with dimensions. The best I could find was from an pyramid researcher Italian Vito Maragioglio. In the 1960’s and 70’s, Italians Vito Maragioglio and Celeste Rinaldi studied the architecture of many Old Kingdom pyramids in great detail.

Using 3D drawing software ”Fusion 360” I made my own drawing of selected internal chambers. First parts is Kings Chamber, Antechamber, south part of Grand Gallery with the low passages between.

Inaccuracy in my drawings

I have tied to make my models as accurate as I can. However, some parts in my drawings differ from Vito’s schematics and some parts differ from real world.

All my pictures and videos have these differences
