Travel to the Giza plateau became a dangerous undertaking in the eighteenth century. Though Egypt was still nominally under the suzerainty of the Ottoman Turks, the traveler was likely to be robbed or killed by gangs of bandit or Arabs.

At about the time of the early formation of the United States of America when new discoveries of the pyramid were made. The Great Pyramid at that time, was explored by one Nathaniel Davison while on vacation when he was accompanied by Edward Wortley Montagu.

The intrepid adventurer Davison tied a rope around his waist, and they lowered him down into the foreboding darkness below. The descent was well over one hundred feet into the abyss, but only sand and rubbish greeted him there below.

It struck Davison as incredulous why anyone would go to the trouble of digging a shaft orver two hundred feet to no where. The shaft was dug deep into solid granite with no apparent purpose.

Not finding any reasonable answer Davison abandoned his quest and began to search for other secret features. As a result of his scrutiny today the Davison chamber bears his very name.
