In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the mysterious 'Robber's Tunnel'—the forced passage carved into the Great Pyramid of Giza, likely by Caliph al-Ma'mun in 832 CE. They discuss what the tunnel reveals about medieval treasure hunting, the Pyramid's internal layout (including the Grand Gallery, King's Chamber, and unfinished subterranean chamber), and how this breach changed our understanding of Khufu's burial. They also touch on the copper 'handles' found in the Queen's Chamber, the so-called 'air shafts,' and the enduring mystery of whether Khufu's mummy was ever inside. The episode draws on accounts by Arab historians like al-Maqrizi and modern Egyptological research.
