To Arch and Marduk

The link is at the bottom.(see note below) The pertinent info is at the top of the second page.(I still can't figu...

Egyptology has always been my favorite subject so I have been following this story since they first started with the robots. Though I would love for there to be hidden rooms in the pyramids, I think I will have to go with marduk, I also believe they are ventilation shafts.
