Fire in Middle is the second of three volumes that contain a radical re-visioning of the traditional view of orthodox Egyptology regarding the true purpose of the Great Pyramid of Giza. James Brown is a practical thinker, and at each step along the way of the journey of research that led to the Fire in Middle, he insisted the evidence he uncovered had to make sense. His interest in Egypt began in 1978 and he has traveled there photographing and documenting physical evidence to support his truly ground-breaking hypotheses.

The photo on the previous page shows the Great Pyramid and the Giza Plateau; it is still one of the largest structures built by humans on the planet. Most people have never seen the interior of a pyramid. The Great Pyramid of Giza is different than other pyramids in Egypt. The so-called burial chamber is in the upper part of the pyramid structure. Other pyramids have the so-called burial chamber below ground in the pyramid structure. This chapter is a pictorial journey through the Great Pyramid, and several other Egyptian pyramids, to demonstrate many features they all have in common. The pictures will dispel false information or misconceptions many have about the pyramids, and perhaps the titleFire In Middle will have more significance, as some scholars believe the translation of pyramid is “fire in middle.”
Egypt is one of the most fascinating places on Earth, filled with mystery and intrigue. All my trips to Egypt have been for research to photograph details of everything I saw on each trip. When I returned home I could study the photos in detail over long periods of time. The Egyptian guards do not want photographs taken in some areas. However, for a small amount ofbaksheesh, “tipping,” most photos can be arranged. If someone is dressed like a professional photographer, or carrying scientific equipment, it’s more difficult and expensive to negotiate the terms. Posing as ordinary tourists has been the most effective way to obtain access to areas closed to most visitors. As tourists, we were not searched, and our black satchel containing cameras, scientific instruments, and recorders was never examined.
No. 8 In this picture my wife Debra and I are preparing to enter the Great Pyramid through the forced entrance created by Al Mamoun (inside red circle). Our black satchel is visible that contained all of our research equipment. Hanging around our necks are our tourist name tags, visas, and passports. We blended right in with the thousands of daily visitors, and for a little monetary enticement the guards turned a blind eye to photos that are normally restricted.
It’s believed that in the ancient past the Pharaoh, the king, was buried in a tomb with a flat ceiling and that the queen was buried in a room with a gabled ceiling. This is based on similar burial practices in the Middle East. That was the basis for calling the upper chamber in the Great Pyramid the King’s Chamber and the lower chamber the Queen’s Chamber as that room has a ga
