- A vertical section of the Great Pyramid of Giza, sometimes referred to as "air shafts." "Star shafts" commonly refers to two narrow ducts leading out of the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid of Giza. It may also refer to two shafts in the walls of the Queen's Chamber, though these are discussed less frequently due to being blocked off on both the outside and inside of the pyramid. Shafts of this nature have not been discovered in any other pyramids as of yet. Initially they were presumed to be ventilation shafts, but doubt has been cast on this theory due to the shafts not leading all the way to the outside. This same fact also casts doubt on the theory that the shafts were used to observe certain stars. In 2010, researchers from Leeds University developed a robot that traversed the shaft and used an endoscopic camera to look through the hole previously drilled through the stone blocking the path to the outside, which revealed a small chamber with red ochre markings on the floor and followed by another large stone blocking the path.
