The Great Pyramid was a pump as described by Edward Kunkel. One thing a pump needs is a safety release valve. This explains why the "air shafts" in the Queen's chamber were NOT continued to the inside. The blocks that covered these shafts did have the shaft carved into them only it stopped just an inch or so from the surface of the room. In the event that the Queen's chamber lost it's air cushion the pressure would burst through these last inches of limestone, saving the room from destruction.
The air shafts in the Queen's chamber are like the safety release valve on an air compressor. Originally, the shaft was NOT continued to the inside of the room. The water did not normally get pumped out through these vents. It was ONLY when the air cushion was absent that the water pressure would burst through these last inches of limestone and release the pressure! The water coming out of these outlets would alert the caretakers. They'd replace the vent covering blocks with newly carved ones.
The explanation that the vents in the Queen's chamber were a primitive "safety release" valve is the only explanation that makes any sense as to why they were NOT continued to the inside of the room. Only a PUMP, operating under PRESSURE would need such a mechanism!
there's no mummy, no pharaoh in cheops , chephren, mykerinos, for that simple reason ; the pyramids are not tombs
