While Egypt was under the control of the Ottoman turks in the 18th century it was an extreemly hazerdous undertaking to visit the Giza plateau. The lawless renegade bandits and Arabs were likely to ro or kill the unsuspecting traveler

Not until the time of the American Revolution was any further discover of importance made at the Pyramid. In 1765, Nathaniel Davison was able to spend a vacation in Egypt in the company of Edward Wortley Montagu, and carefully explored the 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.

To Davidson it seemed stranged that anyone would go through such an enormous amount of effort to dig a shaft almost 200 feet deep into the heart of the Pyramid only to come to a dead end.

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.
