Warren's Gate

Warren's Gate is a hidden passage located inside the Great Pyramid of Giza, used by ancient Egyptian workers to access the king’s tomb chamber. Discovered in 1837, it is a corridor cut into the rock that leads from the outside corridor to the burial chamber of Pharaoh Khufu. The gate was sealed with large stones and mortar, preventing easy access. Its purpose was likely for ritual or security reasons, ensuring the tomb remained protected from grave robbers. Today, Warren’s Gate offers valuable insight into Egyptian burial practices and the architectural sophistication of the pyramids.
