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.

It was during the era of George Washington that interest in the Great Pyramid was renewed and new discoveries made. Edward Worthly Montague escorted Mr. Nathaniel Davison while he was on vacation and together they carefully explored the great pyramid

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.

The perplexing question that coused over Davison's mind was how and why would anyone dig a 200 ft shaft into solid granite, only to come to a dead end? To him there seemed no apparent purpose.

Abandoning this quest, Davison set about finding any other secret features within the interior of the Pyramid. This lead him to the discover of what is now know as Davison's Chamber.
