My pleasure!

I think he’s mostly correct (nice of me, eh?), but I think the ramp used to slide up those big granite chunks also still exists, after a fashion, internal to the side opposite the Grand Gallery, and was filled in after the heavies got moved. That doesn’t negate the spiral ramp system, since 89% of the mass of the pyramid lies below the halfway point for height.

This new void appears to echo the Grand Gallery, but is of shorter length. Wouldn’t surprise me if it turns out to *be* an echo, but could also turn out to be another counterweight system. J-P has noted that there are corbelled rooms off the King’s Chamber, and below this newly discovered void, but those don’t appear to have been detected.
