The Shaft, The Subway & The Causeway

Start Here...

What is the story behind the shaft which passes through the subway under Khafre's Causeway? Is it a shaft tomb of the twenty sixth dynasty as described by Dr Selim Hassan, or does it have some connection with the ancient mystery schools of Egypt? The Shaft, The Subway and The Causeway is a series of pages that attempt to cast some light on these questions.

This series was originally written on a piecemeal basis as information became available. Writing in late November 2003, it has been revised and updated to incorporate some additional information, tie up some loose ends and hopefully make for a more fluid reading experience. If you would like to be notified of future updates (yes, more are planned!), sign up to the Shaft, Subway & Causeway Updates list. Please note that cascading style sheets are used for most of the presentational formatting. If anything looks odd to you, please let me know via the contact details at the end of most pages so that I can do something about it.
